"My proudest achievement is having worked tirelessly in my farm last year in order to pay school fees for my son who was in his final year in secondary school. The school where he was learning used to accept maize as payment for school fees and this motivated me to really till my farm in order for him to complete his secondary school education."

"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income. I am a casual worker and these jobs are not always available, this often means that I cannot always provide basic necessities for my family and this depresses me at times."
