"Last year, we were blessed as a family when we had a huge harvest from our maize plantation. For a long time we had not been able to harvest as huge as we had last year. We put in a lot of effort to ensure that we got this harvest and I considered it an achievement to have been able to harvest over 20 sacks of maize."

"In the year 2009, we decided as a family to invest in tomatoes farming after maize failed to give us profits for three consecutive years. To our surprise, we made a very huge harvest which saw us make a lot of profits. It was then that we were able to build this house we are living in and even bought a dairy cow for the family. This was a great achievement to our family which I will never forget."

"Starting up farming business is an achievement am proudest of in my life. I do plant maize and beans annually and the returns I get has been of great help to me and my family. This is where I get money for my table banking groups. I don't depend on my husband's income and this makes me feel empowered as a woman."
