"Lack of a stable source of income is what has been my biggest hardship. I used to depend on farming mainly, Recently farming has not been doing well due to long dry spells. My spouse is unemployed and he depends on motorcycle Rider jobs when called in, therefore our income is not enough to fully cater for our needs which include buying food and educating the children."

"My biggest hardship is unemployment, I temporarily work as a broker in a livestock market and this job is not always guaranteed. My family owns a small piece of land where we practice subsistence farming, the produce we get from the farm is not enough to sell and make extra income for the household, hence making it difficult to provide housing and clothing for my family."

"My family struggles in buying milk each day. We use about $1.5 on milk per month, my wife is a stay at home mum and quite old, so she can not support in working and bringing extra income to the household. That is why when I receive this transfer I will use most of it amounting to $1000 in purchasing 4 dairy cows.Milk produced will be for home consumption and we can sell the remaining milk to generate extra income. The remaining $100 will be used in buying farm seeds, clothes and food for the family."

"GD is doing a great job I can not imagine them not doing anything well because they have not any changed my life but the life of everybody in the village. We are so happy, what they are doing well is that have brought happiness and development into the village."

"I have bought materials to fix up my house. Iron sheets and cement"

"I used the money to buy different things like, some furniture,and also some house building materials to improve the my house."

"My life has changed completely because of the assistance given from give directly"

"In my opinion GD is working just fine nothing that I can contribute there. Just hope that GOd blesses you and lets you continue doing what you are doing for people who are in need. I already see the change that is being made around the village so that is evidence enough that you are doing a great job."

"Give Directly has given us money we never expected to see at once. This has changed our lives. Give Directly is a great organization."

"GiveDirectly does everything right. We are given money to buy what we lack in life, so this organization is doing everything right."
