What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am grateful to Give Directly for enrolling my household into the program and I believe that I will use this money to purchase enough food for my household as we are already starving since we did not harvest enough food during last year's harvest due to lack of money for fertilizers which consequently affected our maize yields
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest today because I have been enrolled into this program and I believe the money will transform my life for the better
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of money for food leading to us having to rely on casual labour which in most cases doesn't even fetch enough money to allow us feed and provide for our families
