I am very grateful to Give Directly for this money as it will help me start a business which i have always wanted but due to lack of capital i couldn't start. I will use the first transfer to start a groceries shop and the second transfer i want to buy window flames and glasses. I believe with the business i will be able to live a better life than i used to
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning because that is the time i pray to God and thanking him for his mercies for waking me up alive. I know that not everyone has the opportunity to wake up alive and see another day. This makes me happy
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i have faced in my life has been lack of enough food. I always face hunger because i don't harvest much. The main reason why i don't harvest much is i don't apply fertilizer to the maize. Fertilizer is very expensive and i can not afford to buy.
