"Lacking school fee for my daughter when she was in Four 2 was the biggest hardship I have faced in life. She was a top student in her class and seeing her at home broke my heart. Am glad she got school bursary that supported her until she completed her secondary education. She is now in the university and I thank God for his grace."

Kiplangat
enrolled.
"Starting up farming business is an achievement am proudest of in life. Am a teacher by profession and since am yet to be employed by the government, the salary I get is dismal. Farming has supported me in many ways and it is the money I get from farming that has seen my children get basic needs and quality education."

"My biggest hardship is the old age that has caught up with me. I am not able to work long hours in the farm which is the only source of our income. Sometimes i have to depend on my grandchild to fend for us though he is still a young man who is just a casual labor doing unskilled work in the village."

"The biggest hardship in my life is feeding my family. Since my mother is a widow I have to work hard in the mine to get money to feed both mum and my wife. Its not easy as we have no modern equipment to be used in the mine being that I dropped out of school at class four when my father died I must endure all kinds of odd jobs to put food on the table."
