"Paying school fees for my daughter in secondary school is the biggest difference in my daily life. I was struggling so much to ensure that she study well. I am a motorcycle taxi operator and also do farming at home. The money that I would get through this was not enough to meet all this at once. My daughter sometimes would be sent home to collect the school fees and this was affecting her performance. I was so stressed up and demoralized whenever I saw her at home. When I received the transfer from GiveDirectly the first priority was to clear her school fees. Currently she is studying well without being disturbed. I expect better performance come next results. I have peace of mind to do my work as a taxi operator. I save some money to pay for the next academic year. I am so grateful for the support because were it not GiveDirectly all this could still be a big struggle." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
