Noah
enrolled.
"Receiving this money means that the plans that I have always had of building my own house will be achievable because I am going to use the first transfer in buying iron sheets, nails, timber and pay the fundis and build a new house. The second transfer I will use to buy livestock and because this program by Givedirectly have restored hope in me, I will consider getting a woman to marry."
