What does receiving this money mean to you?
All my life I've been farming and getting contracts on others farm just to send my children to school. As a single parent, life has been driving me so crazy. Last year i received 500Liberian Dollars from my elder sister where I went into selling pepper and bitter ball. We've been selling, saving and eating from that little business money. Receiving this cash transfer from Give Directly is like a dream come true. I've always dreamt of doing a bigger business, building a decent three bed room house and sending my children to an excellent school. With this cash transfer, I'm going use part of the money to send my children to school a good school, buy a half lots of land and build my a decent house for my children and use the remaining money for a business.
