Loreen
enrolled.
"The achievement I am proudest of was starting a samosa business six years ago which made me more independent and less reliant on my husband's money. It was through this business that I managed to pay my son's nursery school fees and chip in on other family's basic needs. I also managed to join a merry-go-round where I could save some little money from my business. "

"My greatest achievement was harvesting two bags of maize last season which was the best I have ever produced from my farm. This came as a result of using local manure on my farm. With the two bags, I was able to consume one bag with my family and sold the other bag to pay my child's secondary school fees."

"My greatest achievement was harvesting 8 bags of maize in 2016. The good harvest came as a result of using the local manure on my farm. I was able to sell part of the produce to pay my second wife's dowry and my family's health also improved because they ate well without missing a meal."
