"All my life I have been doing small business in this village few months ago . I intend to open a provision shop in order to minimize people travelling far community to purchase some food stuff or goods. This provision shop will help me generate more profits that will help me take proper care of my children fees since their father don't earned much."

"Givedirectly do good by checking on us every time to make sure we received our transfer correctly. Their staff can't eat or drink from us and it make us feel different."

"I have been living in one bed- room thatched house for more than 10 years with my family. I wasn't able to build concrete house due to lack of money. The cash transfer had been used to build a decent 4 bed- room house with zine roofing in my village .I'm no more a laughing stock among my peers,now that I have one of the biggest houses where we live ."

"The most pressing need I had was to construct a decent home for my family. This was because the one I had was small and grass-thatched. Unfortunately, because I am a widow with five children to look after, this was not previously possible. I am currently unable to work due to my age. As a result, when I received my first transfer, I spent $400 building the house. Secondly, I spent $150 on a dairy cow to reduce the cost of purchasing milk. I will be eternally grateful for the support I received from GiveDirectly."

"I have a small land to cultivate, no cow or other livestocks to get compost to fertilize my small land, to get food, I used only district support of $10 per month. My house is not finished yet and It affected my health"

"We have a small land to cultivate and that cause lacl of food at home, It requires us to work hard in other farm for $1 per day."

"We don't have enough fertiliser to use in our land , to be able to get inorganic fertiliser which is quite expensive we have to work for others to be able to pay for it and sometimes we are not able to get that money and we just use organic fertiliser which doesn't give enough harvest as we want. Me and my husband cyprien we are always sick we have to go to the hospital most of the times which is not easy for us to pay our bills, we had to sell all our small livestocks to be able to pay for the hospital bills."

"The main challenge is that I am living in this house which is not well finished, the doors are not good and as you can see outside it is made of mud bricks only, it doesn't look good. In addition, when it rains, the rain pass through and reach inside."

"When it rains,Bufuma is hard to reach It's hard to access any kind of services.When it rains ,I am scared that any time the landslide will come so I live in fear."

"Looking into the next year, I purpose to have successfully enrolled my son in high school. He recently completed grade eight and is set to join secondary education, but financial constraints are burdening me. After he is settled, I plan to construct a concrete pillar around the mud walls of my house to reinforce them. This will prevent the house from collapsing from adverse weather. "
