Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Before I was renting but now I do own land where I do plan to rattle and do my farming. My hopes are now clear than it was before I recieved this transfer from Give Directly.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
This was one of the happiest moments that I will live to always remember. For sure when I saw the message, I did not sleep a gain till morning.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my transfer in buying 5 goats that costed me 400000. I also bought a cow at 500000. The remaining amount was 800000 that I used to partly pay for a piece of land. My dreams have been having a farm and now Give Directly has helped me realise it.
