"I left Monrovia in January 20201 to come to River Cess County to do some minding activities because I couldn't afford to send my children to school because of lack of employment. The main reason behind my migration to Rivercess county was when my son who was in 12th grade dropped out of school because my wife and I were unable to generate funds to pay his school fees. Currently, my children are in school because of empathy from the school administration. If I receive any money from Give Directly, I will use part of it to establish a business and the rest will go towards my children school."
