Receiving this money will meant having enough capital to boost our fish business. I and my wife got married 4 years ago and together we have a daughter. For the part three years 2018 - we were living at my home village in Chipole whilst we were doing fish business. For a day, at Chipola, we could make K2000 ($1.50) on a good day whilst on a bad day we could make K500 ($0.20). I could not say the business was growing but it was enough to find food for the day. Due to covid -19 out break, the sale margin fell down and so was our capital. It's then we decided to move here in Kuwaya village, my wife's home because our house was close to the road. We hoped for the best and business is not picking. For instance we do order fish at K5000 ($4.67), our capital, and we sale them for two days at a profit of K1500 ($1.45). If we are to get the cash gift from Give Directly, we are hoping that out capital will be K100000 ($98). Meaning that our proceeds will be more than K20000 ($19.83) per two days. With those calculations, I believe our lives will not be the same.

I am always happy. It does not matter which part of the day but am always happy.

The biggest hardship I have faced were lack of enough capital and poverty. I started doing fish business before I even got married, but because my capital was not enough, I have not reached at the point we're I always dreamt for. The second hardship is poverty. My parents are very poor and can not manage to buy a piece of soap. We always depend on maize grain as soap or sometimes we could keep our dity clothes for months just facing for rain season for us to do piece work to buy soap.
