"Due to my health condition which has not been impressive, my husband had been struggling alot to make the ends meet as far as the school fees payment for our children is concern. He had been working hard on the casual labour and also in our farm to ensure that we get something to eat and surplus to use as school fees. This had not been enough since our children have been spending most of their study time at home after being sent to collect school fees. In most cases, weeks may pass without us gettibg the required amount to send them back. Receiving this money to us means that our children will at least start enjoying a full term in school without having been send home to collect the areas. We really thank GiveDirectly for the great thought to help us."

"Receiving this money means alot of changes in our household. For a long time I have been hoping to open a barbershop outside our household but lack capital has been an hindering factor. My husband had also been running a small business where he sells quite a variety of things best known as "mali mali" in our local markets. We would wish to improve that business by adding stock and renting a bigger space as a way of widening the business. Our children have not been schooling well also due to the several instances of being sent home to collect school fees. Receiving this money means we will at least get a peace of mind by settling all the debts and picking on the two businesses which will be our sustainable source of income in the near future."
