What does receiving this money mean to you?
This is one a time opportunity I've been longing for my whole life. My late father left my siblings and I with a four lots of land for just farming. My elder brother and I have been farming on the land for ages now but yet had not been unable to raise enough money for my family and I.
My wife Darling girl is having some disability and mental challenge, unable to send my remaining three children to school because of low incomes form the crops I sell.
With the cash transfer from Give Directly I'm going use part of the money to firstly send my remaining three children to school, send potion of it to my first son guidance for his tuiation and use the remaining money to build another house for rent.
What is the happiest part of your day?
During the past harvest time, the guinea pigs have been my biggest challenge in farming. Whenever it's about time to harvest the guinea pigs goes to the farm and eat almost all of the crops leaving me with smaller crops for the market. In the last six months, an idea of fencing around the farm to help stop the pigs from entering the farm and it has landed to a profitable business and a successful incomes.That was alone brought me so much joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My major challenge I'm currently face with is seeing my beautiful Wife Darling girl going through a mental challenge and unable to help because of finances. Due to my wife mental health I've been too stressful with too many things like attending to the children and doing farm work.
