"The main challenge here is food issues and how to get money to pay my children school fees. All is are connected to money business. Meaning if I have money I will not suffer for food and children school fees.
What makes money business hard is our cassava we plant to sell doesn't have good price now. When we pay transportation fair and take it to the Market, they don't pay good money for it."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now living happily after acquiring 2 acres piece of land. I am planning to start farming something that will ensure that I have enough food supply for the family. Previously, I use to do farming in a low fertile land characterized by a poor harvest. I was struggling for the bigger part of the year in providing enough food for the family. Working as a casual laborer from one job to another without getting enough money to feed the family."

Being illiterate, I passed the phone to my son who confirmed it was the transfer from GiveDirectly. I was overwhelmed with joy after receiving the transfer that would change our life for the better."
