Receiving GiveDirectly transfers is a huge relief for my family, as financial challenges have kept me from pursuing many of my ambitions. I plan to use the first transfer to stock up on food and purchase household items like a chair, table, and mattress. For the second and final transfers, I aim to invest in poultry and livestock farming to diversify my family's income and secure our future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Having a roof over my head is something I deeply appreciate, and this house has brought so much happiness into my life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge in my life right now is my health. I have been struggling with a backache for the past 10 years without finding a permanent solution. Due to financial constraints, I have not been able to seek further treatment from specialists, which has made things even more difficult for me.
