"This money means an improved stardard lf living fir me. I look forward to have enough food these coming months as we harvest around March and April hence i wont lack food. I intend to buy livestock too in order to generate income for as well as renovate my house to make it stronger against rains and winds."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now sleep in my own house. Before the coming of GiveDirectly into my life, I used to shelter in my cowife's house which was very small. This is because my house collapsed so many years ago and I had no money to buy the materials to construct a decent one. My spouse passed on so many years ago and left behind children with nothing no inherit. Life was so tough considering it was a polygamous marriage. The little I was earning was too little to construct a house. I am now a happy soul together with my children because we no longer worry about the rains, also I feel secured."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I now own dairy cows. I opted in purchasing them because they have numerous benefits that I will soon enjoy. The benefits are as follows; getting plenty of milk for free whereby my family will be drinking and I will be selling the reming litres to my neighbours and locals markets for income purposes. I will finally use the profits to start another business so that I can double the income. This will really help me especially in paying my children's school fees and fulfilling their other basic needs. I am optimistic that I will no longer strain as before."

"lacking food and prolonging sickness are some of the challeges we face all the time including beddings"

"Receiving this money will enable me to buy enough food for my household as I am starving due to lack of food and money to buy the food. I also intend to buy new mattress, clothes and weddings for my family"

"I am in deep hunger and sometimes I go for some days without a proper meal due to poor yields last year."

"My biggest hardship has been that of lack of income which lead to not having enough food for the entire household..This was so because the money we made after selling was so little hence creating challenges.."

"The biggest challenge has been that of not having money to buy food and other necessities such as beddings and clothes..This is because mostly I use funds generated from selling my crops so this year business hasn't gone so well and as a result I had less money to sustain my household.."

"This will help our household to buy things that we are lacking such as food and good place to sleep"

"Previously I used to shelter under a grass-thatched small hut with some crack walls. Therefore I spent the larger part of my first transfer on buying some building materials for the purpose of building a decent house. The materials were several building poles, iron sheets, threads nails, and timber. In addition to that, I purchased some beddings which include a new bed and a mattress. With the remaining amount of money, I am using it in buying enough foodstuffs for my family."
