"I means I will increase my investment in my livestock business currently I buy and sell goats in the local market. I do this three days in a week, each market day I buy two goats at shillings 3000 each and sell it at shillings 4000 per goat. This gives me a little profit to pay fees for my children in secondary school who are living with their uncle. But if I get this money from Give Directly I will be able to expand my business and increase the profit I make and save some for other developments"
