""After the completion of the farming season in 2021, our entire rice kitchen( place used for storing rice after the harvest season) got burned as a result of a fire outbreak. Since this incident, we have experienced a serious hardship leading to our children dropping out of school. When we had the rice, we could no longer buy food so the little money we had was used to send the children to school. My husband goes in the forest to hunt animals and the animals killed from hunting are sold in the communities and the money is used to support the children in school. Now the minimum money generated from the sale of bush meat cannot buy food for the family at the same time pay the children's school fees. When I receive any transfer from Give Directly, I will use some of the money to send the children to school and some will be used to buy food for the house""
