"The achievement that I am most proud of is taking my sons to secondary school, one in form two and the other is in form three. Even though I am a low income earner, I work hard to pay their school fees. I am also proud of their good academic performance and this motivates me to work even harder."

"The biggest hardship that I face is lack of money for proper medication. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and I haven't got proper treatment because I can't afford some of the prescribed drugs. For this reason, my condition worsens and therefore I can't do my daily routine duties like I used to."

"The achievement that am most proud of is the cow that I purchased last year after selling part of cereals that we had grown for subsistance.
At 15000 Kshs last year,I hope to take care of it until its value shoots to kshs 30000 then I will resell and buy back two or three new ones when prices will be favourable."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of employment.Taking care of my two children when I had no source of income was very difficult because the children were mostly out of school and going hungry.
I had to take a step of creating a source of income by starting up a business."
