What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer paying school fees for my two daughters in secondary school. I never thought it could be a good idea for my kids to stay home for fees and I have the money and again being that previously I have been struggling to pay the fees. The remaining amount, I spent on buying sheep that are like my assets and will help me in educating my children in future. I am so happy and grateful for the money I received from GiveDirectly. Thank You GiveDirectly!!!

Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I'm able to collect enough money that can sustain the learning of my two children in secondary School, hence I don't have much pressure looking for money because I managed to clear fees for this year.
