"Land and pig"

"I dropped out of school for lack of school fees. Since then, I am not able to secure formal employment because I did not complete my studies. I resorted to the brokerage of livestock as a way of earning income. My job is unreliable and seasonal, as result, I hardly save any amount for other things like investments. Financial constraints are the biggest challenge currently."

"I have been sickly for the past five years and my wife passed on a while ago. It has been a challenge since I do not have money to pay for my insurance cover and this has forced me to withstand the pain. I have told all the livestock I had to get medication bit still no improvement. Most of the time my neighbors contribute for my upkeep."

"Food access has been quite a challenge. The drought has been too much. Last year we planted our farm but due to the inadequate rains, we harvested nothing. This led to the food shortage we're currently experiencing. It has made our lives very difficult. To get food we must find casual jobs which are hard to come by. One is paid $2 per day. The amount is too little, especially with the high cost of living. It's hard providing for our family now."

"RE " My biggest accomplishment i was hoping for was a decent house of my own. And am so happy that am almost done with my house, although i had to join with a relative of mine to build a decent house for us. All thanks and appreciation to givedirectly ""

"RE " In my opinion, givedirectly is doing very well. Because before givedirectly could entered my community, life was actually very tough. I could not afford the School fees of my elder daughter who is in 11grade in Monrovia attending school. But with God first, givedirectly recuse me in time, and my daughter is right now in school. Am very grateful to givedirectly for this help " ."

"I hope to complete my house project before this year ends"

"Since I received my recent transfer, I have a noticeable improvement in my condition. Without the transfer, I would have not succeeded in seeking my medication. Once I fully recover, I hope to embark on my activities, especially cattle raising. It is a viable venture that can be profitable in the long run. As a result, getting additional income when the need arises will not be a major challenge for me."
