"I am quite grateful for the generosity I have received from the organization because of the positive impact it has had on my life so far. The funds that I have been receiving have enabled me to plan better for my future. That is why I have been saving a small amount with each transfer so that when I eventually have enough money I can finally open up a business where I sell clothes specifically for women. The profit I make from this business will enable me to cater for the day-to-day needs of my family. Furthermore, I also plan to use the funds to help pay for tuition fees for my daughter."
