Give Directly has made my dream a reality because of this money
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning because i feel lucky to be alive and be able to see a new day. I know not everyone has the opportunity to wake up alive
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship i have faced in my life is finding enough food for my family. I usually have food which do not last me for a long time. The main reason for this is lack of money to buy fertilizer. A single bag of fertilizer costs more than K20000 and this is a lot of money which i can not find easily. I also want to use the money to buy 4 bags of fertilizer and this will help me have enough food next year
