"My proudest achievement was the decision I made to join a merry-go-round scheme. I save the little money I earn from casual labour (washing other people's clothes) through this scheme, which enables me to meet my needs like acquisition of decent clothes and kitchen ware."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is not being able to fend for my large family. I have chronic asthma, and my husband has also had to undergone three head surgeries. These conditions limits us from being able to perform our daily activities. It has also drained me emotionally."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is lack of money to built my own house. Begging for spaces to sleep in other people's houses was not very friendly as this would be denied at times and hence spend the night in the cold."
