Yes, I have a new goal of starting a business to increase my household income. From my last payment I was able to established a palm oil business for sale. Before receiving money from GD, my husband and I were a gardener. Garden work was the only source of income to support the family. We (my husband and I) have seven children and four are in school. There has been no enough money to send the remaining three to school. However, it is because of low income that I have decided to start a palm oil business with my last transfer to put all of my children in school.

Starting a palm oil business could not have been possible without GiveDirectly cash transfer. I think in my mind this is one thing that GD has done well. Because I didn't expect to have received such a cash. What GD is doing for us in this village is too great. Moreover, having a mobile money account was something that I never thought of. And it is because of GiveDirectly that I have one. Really, to admit, I am too grateful for this opportunity. It has empowered me enough to help my husband take care of our family. But when it comes to things that GD is not doing well, I am not aware.

I spent my most recent transfer on setting up a palm oil business. I have seven children and four are in school. It hurts me to see my other three children not going to school. When I received my last transfer, my husband and I decided for me to start selling palm oil for sale. And this decision was made just to improve our household income to support all of our children in school.

My new goal is to build a new house for my family and I.

Give Directly is my hero they have made my long awaited dream to become a reality and I'm so much grateful for that. God bless GD for lifting our lives from the dust, I'm indeed grateful.

My recent transfer is being kept until the last transfer is being sent. I intend building a house for my family and I to be able to lay our head in a decent place.

My ears has always been up when it comes to GD transfers. One afternoon while I was doing some scratching around my house, I heard my neighbors talking about how they have just received their transfers, so I waited for my husband to return from where he went. When he came back we hurriedly ran to network area to check, and were glad we did! There was a huge excitement on our faces.

My Children fees has been a huge challenge for me, most especially the ones that were to write the national exam. It was always my prayer for God to help me pay their fees in full so that they will be focused and not distracted and worried about me paying their fees, and I'm grateful to God for Give Directly who have lifted such burden from me. Secondly, I have been a house wife for years, always looking up to my husband for everything. The only support I could give as a woman was house chores, and the farm work. This bothered me too, knowing fully well that when I needed something urgently and my husband don't have it at the moment I will have to forgo it or wait. I'm again grateful to God for Give Directly, I have a business of my own now, at last I will have something to bring to the table too as a wife. I'm overwhelmed with joy! I'm grateful to God for such an opportunity.

A huge portion of my transfer was spent on my Children fees, most especially the bigger ones who were writing WASSCE. The remaining money was used to start a new business ( Selling Dry fish).
