I will start a business. Secondly, I will pay my two granddaughters school fees for this year. I currently plant cassava and sell before getting money to feed myself and my grandchildren.

Hearing about Give Directly program has brought me joy. When the news about Give Directly visiting other towns near us reached us, we were hoping for the program to reach our town and when we saw your for the first time, it brought joy to my heart.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of money to care for our needs. I have my two granddaughters living with me and they're not in school because I don't have the money to send them to school. We are also finding it hard to get food to eat. We usually plant, harvest and sell cassava before we get money to survive.
