"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."

"I want to build a better and bigger kitchen in my homestead. The one we currently use is small and it rains inside making it difficult to cook there on rainy seasons. Receiving this money will mean a lot to me, because I will be able to build a bigger iron roofed kitchen amounting to $300 that will serve as an extra room for when we have guests. The remaining transfer will be used as follows: $300 for a dairy cow,$200 for food and clothing and $100 as savings."

"The biggest hardship we face as a family is inadequate Capital. I sometimes work in a tea farm to make a living and get paid $100 per month,which is not enough to carter for basic needs such as buying food, livestock and school fees for my last born son."

"My life is different than what is was before because before I used to work so hard and still not manage to make enough for my family so that used to drain me a lot as a provider knowing that my hard work is not enough. Now with these transfers I can buy enough food and my hard earned money can be used for other things around the house."

"Give Directly has given us a chance to have a good house and to be able to take better care of ourselves. There is nothing I see that GD has done wrong."
