"The biggest hardship I face is lack of enough money to continue with my education "

"My biggest hardship is lack of enough money to cater for my children's educational needs like school fees."

"My intention was to pursue my education until university level, get employed and live a decent life but due to lack of School fees, I did not manage to go beyond secondary education. That has been the biggest hardship I have faced in life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the freedom that the transfer has brought me. I could not leave the compound due to the demands of rearing livestock : fetching water, looking for hay and milking at the right time. My brother in-law will attend to the livestock so that I can go back to school. We plan to spend the second transfer on my tuition fee. There is no more excuse for me to stay home so as to tend to the cattle due to lack of fee. GD funds will set me free and enable me to further my education. I already have an offer letter to study a diploma course in Community Health and I am optimistic about this. Thank you for the funds. May God bless GiveDirectly."

"Receiving this money means investing in my education. I intend to use this money to pay school fees and buy scholastic materials for my education."

"Receiving this money is a great blessing to me.Two of my children have completed high school but could not be given their certificates due to outstanding fee balance.This money will really help me in offsetting those debts so that they can further their education"

"In the year 2004, i gave birth to my son who has been having problems with hearing. I have taken him to various hospitals since then yet his condition has never improved. This has made him lag behind in his education and in the other hand i have spent alot in his medication. This is the biggest hardship i have faced."

" Receiving this money is an exciting opportunity,it means a brighter future for my children sjnce I am going to spend most of the transfers on their education."

"Receiving this money means improved education for my children. I would like to spend the transfer on paying school fees for my children. The best inheritance I can give to them is education with hope of securing better employment opportunities."

"My new goal is to take my daughters through college education. I feel I need to further their education so that they can have good lives in future. I was not fortunate enough to go school so I desire to educate my children to get a better life than mine. Being illiterate, I am not able to read or write but it is my joy to see my children being able to."
