"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."
