Learn more about how recipients opt in to share their stories.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Two months ago ,I lost all my livestock to floods and I have not recovered from it. We used to depend on it in order to pay school fees for my son in secondary school. I have an arrears of $100 for two terms and he is sent home frequently to collect fees. I am saddened because he misses out on classwork which may affect his general performance.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I gave birth to my fifth born son six months ago and I am happy he is doing well. Three months ago he got Malaria and it took a month for him to heal. I am grateful to God for his health and I still pray that none of my family gets sick.
What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
The transfers will boost me in farming maize. This would mean an increase in the yield hence increase in income. I depend on maize farming to earn a living and due to the recent floods I lost half of my farm to it. I plan on replanting it and purchasing a generator to help with pumping water from the river hence making work more easier. I am happy that Give directly will transform my life to be better.
