"I feel blessed, may God bless you for helping us, may you also do what you have done to us to others who are in need of this kind of help out there."

"I spent $60 to purchase a bed because I was sleeping on floor. I was always feeling back pain immediately after waking up which affected my days work performance . I also spent $150 to purchase indigenous dairy cow which will provide a constant milk supply for family use. Previously, I was purchase milk every day which is relatively expensive for me. I also bought a solar lamp for lighting my house at night and a door for the house because I did have one which was risk especially at night. The remaining amount assisted me in purchasing food for the family because we did not get enough harvest from the farm."

"I spent $ 385 of the transfer to purchase 2 oxen and an ox- plough which will assist me in ploughing my farm. Back in the day, I use to plough using my hands which is time consuming and tiresome. Being old I am less energetic because of my deterrent health conditions. Similarly, I purchase one dairy cow for $150 I will have enough milk for my own consumption. Furthermore, I purchased modern beddings for 120 dollars, I was using a traditional bed and old sacks as beddings which was not comfortable at all."

"Buying enough food and farm inputs for the next coming farming season is what receiving this money means to me, most of the times i produce very little from my farm because iam unble to buy fertilizer and seeds so i would like to use the money to be ready before the farming season."

"The biggest hardship i currently face is hunger,I'm a farmer and i always yield handful products just because of lack of adequate farm inputs like fertiliser and improved seeds,as a result we always suffer from hunger."

"I am thankful for receiving this money. I was so happy and couldn't believe that I have so much money in my phone"

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is finding enough food for my family through out the year because i usually do not harvest much which does not take me through many months"

"I want to take this opportunity to thank GiveDirectly and the donors for helping me realise my goals and dreams,I always had a dream and ambition that if I happen to get money I would buy my self a motorcycle, when I received my transfer I was able to buy a second hand motorcycle which I use in bringing more stock from the township to the village where I own a shop therefore saving time and the cost of transportation."

"Receiving this money is a great opportunity for me to finally be able to afford improving my house. My house is grass thatched and it leaks during rainy season. I believe this money will help me to overcome these challenges"

"Receiving this money really means so much to me I'm super excited for getting enrolled in a programme like this,and i know the money is coming from well wishers."
