"I used a portion of my third transfer to buy household furniture like seats and a bed because I did not have, I bought decent clothes for my children, bought school shoes for my children since they were going to school putting on sandals. I bought solar in order for my children to use while studying since they were using tin lamp which could later affect their sights. The remaining amount, I spent on food for my family."

"I had two children in secondary who dropped out of school for lack of school fees and give way for the third one who was in college to clear before they could continue given that I did not have the money to do so, so when I received my third transfer, I spent on taking them both back to school. I am hopeful that they will clear their secondary education. The one in college has also cleared her catering course, and I am happy she is already taking up some jobs to sustain her. I am grateful for GiveDirectly."
