"The achievement I am proudest about was having cultivated my farm using fertilizer during the last planting season which enabled me to get high and quality harvest. I got four bags of maize and a half a sack of beans which was the best I have ever harvested from my farm. This has enabled me to have enough food since last year up-to now. I have never gone without food since then and I am also able to sell some of the maize to meet other basic needs." (Campaign: UBI)
