"I lack money for fertilizers wh8ch affects my maize production resulting in constant hunger on my household."

"Receiving this money will enable me to finish up constructing my halfway-built house. My goal was to shift to the new house by the end of the year, but my son who was financing the construction diverted his financial support to his younger brother's hospital bills. I will therefore use $900 of my transfer to actualize this goal."

"Receiving this money will help me purchase enough food and fertilizers for the next growing season as I lack money for fertilizers"

"I am always being hit by constant hunger because I lack money for fertilizers which affects my yields."

"The transfer means a lot to me. I am planning to build a bigger house using the money because my current house is very small. I also struggle a lot to buy farm inputs and I intend to buy fertilizer, hoes and seedlings. I also plan to buy enough food because currently, I don't have enough food."

"The biggest hardship is famine and luck of food for my children. Last year my husband never got any casual jobs during the covid -19 time and we went to bed hungry many days. It took us more than 3 months without food in the house living from hand to mouth."

"Receiving this money means I will build a one bedroom house which will cost me 200 dollars, I want to purchase two oxen which I will use to plough my land which will cost me 300 dollars , I want to take my daughter for a medical operation because she has been having a growth in her reproductive system which needs more than 65 dollars and the rest I will buy food for my family and pay school fees for my children."

"My biggest hardship is financial constraints. I did not get to continue with my education after fourth form and so I could not get a good job. My husband's job cannot sustain us and so getting to educate and feed my children is overwhelming."

"It's a challenge to buy fertilizer such that sometimes we cultivate without using fertilizer. School fees has also been a challenge."

"I am so grateful to Givedirectly for enrolling me in this programme. This will be my opportunity to build a house and buy some neccessities in my home"
