"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life came in the year 2016 when I lost 100 hens that died of a strange disease. I suffered a lot because at that time my main source of livelihood was proceeds from selling eggs. I had to do causal jobs to make ends meet."

"The biggest hardship I have ever faced in life is lack of school fees, sometimes I used to be sent back home due to fee arrears. Since my parents didn't see the value of educating me as a girl, I had to do casual work during holidays and weekend so as to raise money to pay my schools fee."

"The achievement I am proud of is being able to provide education for my children even though I struggled alot to pay the school fee since I only depend on subsistence farming as a source of income. So far, four of them are done with their college education and they have secured jobs. As a parent, feel that is the best thing you can offer to your children."

"The biggest hardship I have lately faced is severe famine following a long drought. My crops dried up in the field and barely nothing was produced. I had to strain so much to ensure that my family got food. It was exhaustive and tiresome. Real struggle."

"The biggest hardship that am facing is raising school fees for my children.I took a loan to pay for their fees and sometimes when the farm does not yield enough it becomes difficult to pay the loan as well as paying school fees."
