What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have a grandson who in secondary school and the mother is not able to pay his school fees being that she is unemployed, so most of the third transfer I spent paying his school fees. The little remaining out of it, I spent on feeding my household members. I bought corn as at that time there was hunger and the prices of flour had escalated so much. My family could now comfortably feed on the corn. I would only encourage Give Directly to continue helping others like me, I am so grateful.
