"When I received my second transfer, my top priority was to pay my children's school fees. Because of the lump sum that we received, I knew this was the ideal opportunity. As a result, when I received my transfer, I spent $ 220 on school fees and the rest on groceries. I am a single mother of three children who relies on casual jobs to make ends meet. It has not been easy raising the three children by myself because my income is not consistent and I have school fees to pay. The GiveDirectly assistance was a huge relief because it boosted my finances and allowed me to reduce my school fees arrears, and thus, I am forever grateful."
