"When I dropped out of high school in the year 2014, my dream of joining the Kenya Army faded. Since we rely mainly on income from the sale of some of the crops, we suffered a blow when maize lethal necrosis destroyed our maize. I was not able to proceed with my srudies because my parents could not afford to pay may school fees - that was the biggest hardship I have faced in my life."

"In the year 2005, I suffered from a strange spinal ailment that lasted for about two years. I visited varied hospitals including Tenwek, Kaplong and Litein. Accordingly, I had to sell almost all my belongings including the only cow I had purchased to settle the ballooning bills. Luckily I was successfully treated and healed, though I was left with almost no belongings or food for my family."

"When my husband and I was still young, we were very engaged in maize farming so we decided to lease a farm to plant maize. After a few years , tea was introduced in my area and I because we werent sure about the tea farming ,we decided to put faith in it and plant it in the larger part of the farm. Tea farming has really helped me and family especially in supporting our children to get better education now that five of my children have college education . Tea farming is my proudest achievement so far."
