"If I am bless to receive money from Givedirectly, I intend to start a business. The money that will be generated from the business will help us to fix our house and pay our children school fees. Our house is falling apart right now because we don't have money to repair it. We have to send our children to live and be raise by different people just so that they can get education. It really breaks my heart that I, as a mother I will not be able or is not able to bring up my children the way I want them to grow. Therefore, if the Givedirectly help me with money it will help change whether my children will stay outside and be brought up by different people or their own parents."
