"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."

"For my household to have enough food, it is a big challenge as I lack money for fertilizers which affects my maize yields every year."

"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."

"My biggest problem is hunger and taking care of my family especially when we do not harvest- I have been starving since last year! I do not have food to feed the family .I depend on tapping Palm wine and the money I get is not enough to carter for the family daily meals."

"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."

"I am so grateful for being considered in this program. This means a lot to me. I am planning of building another house. I will also buy some clothes and beddings for my family. I will also use the money to pay school fees for my children who are at a secondary school. I will also use the money to buy some bags of fertilizer."

"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"
