When help finally came, I had missed many class lessons and I had a lot of catching to do. This for me is the biggest hardship I have ever experienced. " (Campaign: UBI)

"The biggest hardship I have ever experienced was lack of school fees especially when I was joining secondary school. This led to delay in entering form one and I largely missed the whole first term. So, I had to try as much as possible to catch up with my colleagues and this largely contributed to my dismal performance in my end of term examination. " (Campaign: UBI)
