In the coming year, I hope to start a business. Establishing a business now is my number one goal. It will help me provide the needy support for my children. I am a mother to seven children. But only two of them here with me. The rest are out there living with my relatives. Despite most of my children live with my relatives, I am the one responsible for their schooling. I am just a farmer. Most time I find it difficult to afford all of them school fees. However, it is my hope to accomplish opening a business to improve my income.

GiveDirectly has done so much good for me and my family. Without GiveDirectly, I could not have afford building a new house for my family. I am very grateful to this organisation for the cash received. From the money received, I was able to built a new house and paid part of my children tuitions. However, it is my hope and prayer that this good work continues. Because most of us (recipients) have a lot of good things in mind to accomplish. But to do that on our own is the biggest challenge.

I spent my third transfer on the purchase of 20 bags of cement for the plastering of the newly constructed house that I have built from my first and second transfers. Also, I paid $100 USD for my daughter first semester school fees and used the balance to pay for the workmanship of my house which I have built. It has been my desire to build a new house for my family and I, since the old house is no longer in a good condition. My first house was built with thatched-roof. The roof leaks too much. Whenever it rains, my family and I spent our entire time throwing water out of the house. I am tired of living under a leaking thatched roof. So I spent my most recent transfer on the completion of my new house.

I was so much happy when I received my first transferred from GiveDirectly. For the passed years, I have been struggling with my children's tuitions. Due to the lack of finance, my kids hardly end academic year. But through the transfer from Givedirectly, I was able to pay all their tuitions to enrolled them in school. I have also been planning to build a new house because my family is a large family. But due to the hard ships, I have not also been able to achieve my dreams. I am so much happy for this great opportunity because through it my dreams are coming to reality.

The biggest difference in my life is that I can now afford to build myself a decent and large house because the previous house that I am staying in is small and the thatch roof over it is leaking so badly. Moreover, my children's tuitions can now be paid without me going through all these struggles that I have passed through for the years. I am so thankful to GiveDirectly for everything it has done for me and my family.

Through my recent transfer from Givedirectly, I was able to pay my children school fees with portion of the transfer. The remaining portion of the transfer, I used it to buy one bundle of zinc for the construction of my house new house that I have planned to build. I have decided to wait for my second transfer to buy additional two bundles of zinc for the construction of my house because the previous house that I am staying in with my family is not in good condition. I am so excited about this money from Givedirectly because through it I will be able to give my kids better future through the means of education.
