"If I'm successful to receive the cash transfer from GiveDirectly I intend to build my personal house and use the balance to pay my daughter tuition fees in secondary School. Even though I produced charcoal but the money generated for the charcoal is not enough to build my own house and pay my daughter school fees in secondary school. My daughter was attending Bowein Elementary public school, this year she got promoted to the 7th grade, but the school is an elementary school. Bowein Elementary Public school is the only school that is in the town and affordable. I want her to go to SassTown High school to further her education but there's no money."

""The current challenge I'm faced with is finance. I need money to feed my family, send my children to school and to take care of other basic needs like shelter, health, and clothing. Because of the limited money I earn from the broom I sell, I am unable to do any of these but feeding the family. My children have not been to school for 4 years now; all they get to do nowadays is farm work. My spouse has left me with the children and I alone is unable to support them due to the lack of money"."
