"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to buy some oxen and a ploughing machine which I can use to till my land. Farming using manual methods is very inefficient and we may soon stop ploughing our farm due to low returns. "

"My proudest achievement is having worked as a fisherman for very many years. This line of work enabled me to be the proud owner of several herds of cattle. Sadly most of them either succumbed to diseases, were sold off or used to pay dowry."
