"My challenge is the up keep of my children financially. I say this, because everything I worked for or earned from selling is been spent behind them. People blessed me at times with cash, but all is spent on their up keep. Fortunately for me; the small business I was doing collapse. Now I am aided by my uncle who is the assistant Commissioner to send my children to school for now. I have tried very hard for help and I believe that this money will give me another chance to make life."

"I don't have money to send all of my children to school equally and at the same time build a house. Considering the fact that my husband is not working and only the farm we are living on; the little ones are in school by the little I am getting from the harvest. We had a shop, in 2018 this shop broke down and it cause serious financial setback. Things got tough on us .We've been trying to get back on our feet but nothing seems working. This money we are talking about today, if I get some I will go straight to clear my school fees debts and start the building project."

""The lack of income has been my major challange. This is because I'm not educated and I don't want my children become the same, I have try all means doing contracts and income from the contracts are very minimal, asking some family members for help but they are never to my aid. I rent a one bedroom were my children and I sleep for which I work on their farms to pay their rent, anytime I'm alone I feels so embarrassed of my life.""

"The biggest hardship I'm facing now is money.
I want to complete the renovate of my house and make a large pepper farm that I will earn enough money from to build another house which had been my plan for a long period of time now but I don't have money.
Eventhough my husband and I have been into farming activities for the past ten years now, the money we earn from the farm proceeds last year, some was used to renovat the house and the balance were used to pay the children tuition.
The house renovation was not completed because the money wasn't enough to reroof the house, put ceiling and plaster.
I will appreciate any help from GiveDirectly to improve my livelihood."
