Janet Chebet Onganga disappointed her family when she diverted money set aside for her training as a teacher to venture into farming. But she has since won three national awards and says her earnings hit Sh1.25 million a year. She is happy and so are her parents.

Now aged 30, Ms Chebet married Julius Onyancha in December 2004, the same year she completed secondary school studies at Kiptere Mixed. She scored a C- (minus).
