I have a plan to build a house but right now I don't have money. Moreover i want to send my daughter to school but i don't have money to to support. If i receive this transfer, i want to build a decent house and support my daughter in school. I believe that when my daughter is educated, she will be able to earn a job that will support us in the future. There is a saying that says that if you educate a girl child, you educate a nation. So by educating my daughter, i believe that i am educating a nation.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I have not experience any happiness for the last six months because i lost my auntie who was a source of support to me and wife. Since she departed from us, i have not had any joy or happiness in my life. Right now as we speak, i am still going through the trauma. She was the only person who understood my problems and could offer help.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My challenge for now is finance. Thought i have been dreaming of building a decent house, but due to lack of finance, my dream has not been fulfilled. But for what Give Directly is planning to do for us, i believe that my dream will be fulfilled. I was also thinking of giving my daughter a quality education but the lack of finance couldn't permit me. Now that i will be receiving help from Give Directly, i will give my daughter a quality education. Thanks so much to Give Directly for making my dream come true.
