"My life is currently different because I have hope that my child will finish her secondary education. Life was hard because I used to get little cash day by day from my small business of buying and selling maize. I was not assured of where school fee will come from because I am a single mother and they all depend on me. Give Directly transfers will enable me to pay the fee and I am grateful."
