"As a family we have different difficulties, but the most notable ones are having food year round. The biggest problem is that we tend to use the same agri-products as income generators and like now we sell part of it to meet some desires of life, life school fees and other necessary items. Hence there is a time where we even don't have enough for that month and that's the biggest hardship because we are forced to start loans."

"I received the good news from my wife that the transfer we had been waiting for after enrolment was finally in. At that moment, I was so excited and although I was not so sure whether it was true since I had left the phone with her, I had to trust her. That marked the end of my day on the casual work I was doing as I could not hold on to it anymore. I dashed home to celebrate the good news with my family"

"It was around 9am when I was at my firm busy preparing charcoal. I heard a loud message notification on my phone, I couldn't understand the message because I am illiterate. I called my child who confirmed to me that I had just received my transfer. I felt extremely glad for receiving my transfer."

"I spent my transfer to purchase building materials it comprise building poles, 16 iron sheets, timber this was for the construction of a house for my children. They are grown up but I was still staying with them in the same house. This because I lack the financial resources to construct a separate house for them. In addition, I bought a bed and mattress for them because they were sleeping on the floor."

"The biggest difference is that I am living a happy life with my family after constructing a decent shelter. I will no longer suffer the burden of spending sleepless nights with my children due to the leaking roof."

"I used $250 of my transfer on purchasing 22 iron sheets, timber and nails this was for the culmination of the construction of my house which I had started but hunted due to lack of finances to purchase the roofing materials. This is because my house had collapsed one year ago and I was staying in a temporary structure. Also, I saved some money for the labour fee. In addition, I bought sufficient food for my family since I can no longer go to the forest to perform my charcoal vending activity due to the risky of wild."

"I very glad after receiving my transfer this is because my dream of improving my livestock rearing will final be achieve. I was at my firm weeding with my daughter when I received the message of my transfer."

"Living in a good house with my family is the biggest difference in my daily life, Back in the days, I use to sleep in a muddy walled house that needs constant repair which is very costly. In addition, I was able to start a livestock livestock rearing something that I will rely on whenever I face any financial challenges."

"Living in a decent and comfortable house with my family is the biggest difference in my daily life. Previously, I lack enough money to construct my house since the income from my charcoal vending was hardly enough to feed, clothes and educating my 3 children."

"It was around 9:30 AM when I was at my daily hustle when I heard my mobile phone ringing continuously. Since it was so unusual for me to receive a message at that particular hour, I even ignored it. Later on, I heard one of my colleagues mentioning GiveDirecytlu with a smile on her face. I definitely knew there was good news. Therefore I also decided to check my phone, only to realize I had received my first transer from GiveDirectly, I felt so happy and even decided to go back home and celebrated with my family"
