""Firstly, I currently have I and two of my four children plus my husband sleep in my room; the other two children plus my blind sister and her daughter sleep in the other room, the children are growing and the family is getting larger, so I plan to build additional house with whatever cash transfer I may receive. Secondly, I have been having series of challenges in paying my children school fees, so I will also love to send my children to school.""

"Since my husband and I parted some two years back now, things haven't been fine with me. I have been trying to get money to start a business, so I normally go in the bush pick palm tash and used the straw to produce broom which is take to the nearby market (Sass town market) as means of getting small thing for my self and my grand daughter.
If I'm successfully enrolled for Give Directly Cash transfer program, I want to use the money to make business as means of keeping myself up, because I'm not getting young anymore."

"My current challenge is lack of finance. At the moment, I make my farm and harvest the crops to sell. Thus has been helping me, to a larger extent. This year, I didn't make rice farm, except cassava farm. I can sell my cassava to buy my rice to feed myself. Because of my age, I decided to rest this year and not plant rice because of the hard work that it has and even to pay those that will work on my farm. It has brought serious challenge to me, at times."

"Since I obtained a certificate in Auto Driving, I have not been able to get a job that I can use to generate income for my children's tuition. As such my children have left and gone to live with people who are ill_treating them. I want to bring them home but right now I am not working and I don't have an income to attend to their basic needs."

"" There are no other means of providing for my family but hard work. Things are really difficult. I have to do physical had work just to provide for my family. What ever money we get from the work is just to feed our family. My children are currently not in school because we cannot afford the school fees for the 4 children"."
