enrolled.
""As a family, the first thing we would do with GiveDirectly Cash Transfer would be enrolling all our children into school because as it is now, only four of our children are enrolled into school.
Secondly, we would buils a new house because the location of our present house is has become uncomfortable for us due to the erosion.
When rain falls heavily the entire house can be surrounded by water and that makes it unsafe and even unhealthy for us to continually still.
And, if there's still money, we would invest in our cocoa plantation which we've just ventured into the middle part of this year.""
