"My challenge now is my husband age. As you can see, he is very old now so he is not able to do physical work. I am the one responsible to find food for the household, so I am challenged because I am a married woman who is also single when it comes to sustaining the household."

Augustine
enrolled.
"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."
