"Receiving this money means education for my children. I'm planning to use 500 dollars from this donation from GiveDirectly to cater for my children schools fees. I'll further use 200 dollars to buy one pair of ox-plough for improved productivity in my farm so as to boost my family's food security. Getting the ox-plough will give me the ability of tilling a larger piece of land compared to the three acres of land I used to till."

"Receiving this money means enough water supply for my family. I'm planning to use 50 dollars to purchase a bicycle for my family. The bicycle will aid in fetching enough water for domestic consumption. I'm planning to use a further 50 dollars to construct a two bedroom house. The two bedroom house is spacious and will serve my family better. In addition to this, am planning to use 180 dollars to buy six goats for domestic rearing. I'll later sale the goats to cater for my children school fees. I'll use the balance to buy enough food for my family. Doing this will give me the peace I have always desired to have."
