What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I have many challenges but the primary one is my children school fees. If I received cash transfer from Give Directly, it will lessen my burdens of farming before raising money to pay my children school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
For the past six months, there is nothing that has brought joy to me because my mother died and my spouse (Stephen Whea)is currently sick. However, if I received cash transfer from Give Directly I will be very happy and solve sone of my problems.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I will sent my spouse (Stephen Whea) to hospital for better medical treatment and build my house with the remaining money.
