My spouse and I are from a poor families trying to make life easier for our household. He have to go far away from us to mine Gold before we can get finance to sustain ourselves because we don't have sustainable source of income. I was very excited today during your meeting with us, especially when you said that GiveDirectly has come to give us cash with no conditions attached to it. Because the cash is unconditional, I will use mine to start my clothes business. I will go to the Border and buy clothes to bring it here for sale because nobody here is doing that type of business. From the profit earned, we will sustain ourselves and my husband will no longer go far from us to look for money.

This is my first time to bear a child, so my pregnancy used to worried me so badly. On the 2nd of October 2021, I gave birth to my daughter, that day I was very happy because God help me I didn't go under C section. Some of my friends have even lost their lives during child birth, some even were not able to see the baby they carried for 9, months. Every time I see my baby, I smile because she is truly send by God to me.

I have my first child at an early age, l am worried about how to sustain her and educate her because I am now unable to go back to school. I will feel very bad if I can not educate this girl because she is my future. Therefore, my main challenge now is my inability to start a business because of finance.
