"Even though I have acquired sufficient skills and knowledge in grafting fruits and other plants, I have no capital to venture into the business. I lack funds for establishing a greenhouse and purchasing appropriate seedlings. Unluckily, I have failed to leverage my skills and knowlwdge to generate grafted fruits, and subsequently miss income. I feel that is the biggest hardship I have faced."

"In the year 2012, some I received and planted french beans from a certain well-wisher. After harvesting and selling the french beans, I used the proceeds to purchase and plant potatoes in half an acre of land. Luckily, I realized good harvest (15 sacks) from the potatoes. I sold the potatoes and used the proceeds to pay school fees for my kid who was joining secondary school. I find that this was my great achievement since I was able to ensure that my first born joined secondary. By then, my husband was unable to pay fees for our child."
