  1. **Note: traditionally, rural females are laden with daily routine of fetching wood and water, working in the field and cattle, feed the children and family, washing and cleaning which barely give them time to think about personal development. This leads them to believe that they might not have time to attend a meeting. Yet these women’s group members managed to attend monthly meetings regularly.
