What does receiving this money mean to you?
"Two more years from now this house I'm living in would be worn out.
So, my main plan for GiveDirectly cash transfer will be to build a new concrete and reliable house that will last for years.
My next plan after building a new house will be to enroll the rest of my children to school.
And, if any money is left out I'll definitely buy my cattle to raise so that it can aid us in the process should incase we go lpw on money because the more they increase the more we'll be able to sell."
What is the happiest part of your day?
"The thing is, there's nothing much to make me happy but GiveDirectly visit today is something I'm joyful about.
The goodnews that my family and myself have heard today gives me great joy!
And every other day I'm also grateful to God for the lives of my children and their health."
Since money is a serious issue at home, I'm aleays excited when i dont have to pay hospital bills for the children!"
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"My children have to cut palm then we have to make a trip to Kanweaken in order to sell and get a little something for the family.
We're planting cocoa at the same time making farm.
So, it's really exhausting but we have to continue because we believe that when it grows we'll make profit from it.
Food is a major challenge for us!
Most often my huband go to the farm hungry because there's not much for for the children."
