"My biggest challenge is a stable source of money. I don't work, my husband finds casual work from a company near here and sometimes to find work you have to pay something which we don't have. In the end he doesn't make any money and therefore no food at home."

"My challenge is my house. It has cracks and now it's rainy season, we move everything to the side that has no cracks because the rains enter through the cracks. We have been failing to fix the cracks because of lack of money. It may cause the house to fall if not fixed."

"I am planning to boost my charcoal business and buying food since there is a lot of farmine"

"Our biggest fear and challenge is water that comes from up hill and hits our house directly. It even destroyed our wall. This happened last year in July. We also face a challenge of not having enough food to eat especially now that we have a very large family including grand children and yet others are yet to come from school. Since we do not have enough money, educating all our children is really hard as we always try to send them to schools but lack enough funds."

"I felt very happy because in my life,its the first time to receive from humanitarians"

"Give Directly is really doing a good job by helping people unconditionally. You have uplifted me and right now my children can to school comfortably and we also have something to eat. I have bought livestock. May you continue with the same spirit. I don't think that there is anything you should improve on."

"Give Directly is doing everything perfectly. You have given us money to start businesses. Just the name Give Directly gives me a happy feeling. The fact that the money you give us is non refundable makes you the best. I actually see nothing you should improve on."

"Since I have rented an acre of land, I am hoping to have planted twice and use the profits to open a grocery shop so that we can rely on it for our basic needs. My daughter will be done with highschool as well, so I will not have any school fees to take care of."

"In the coming year, I hope to start a business. Establishing a business now is my number one goal. It will help me provide the needy support for my children. I am a mother to seven children. But only two of them here with me. The rest are out there living with my relatives. Despite most of my children live with my relatives, I am the one responsible for their schooling. I am just a farmer. Most time I find it difficult to afford all of them school fees. However, it is my hope to accomplish opening a business to improve my income."

"GiveDirectly has done well by giving me money to afford building a house. Though I had the thinking of building a house, it was not soon enough. Because I did not had the needed money before. So I am thankful to GD for this opportunity. It has helped me a lot. I pray that GD will keep on giving us money to improve our lives."
