"I felt releaved because we had fears that we could run out of food this year but the money has saved us from hunger"

"Right now i will be able to live in a smart and safe house"

"This money shall be of great help to me and my family. Currently we do not have a dairy cow yet milk is one of the most essential source of protein especially for a family with young children like mine. The struggle that we go through to buy maize flour as well as milk for the family is really tough. I plan to use the money to buy my own dairy cow since I have a farm to take care of it. This will greatly improve the living standards of my family by helping us meet other needs of my family without necessarily burdening our parents who have their own needs as well. I also intend to use the remainder of the money to buy other livestock such as sheep that will help me in paying school fees for my children in future."

"I was so happy because the money has helped to sort out most of my day to day problems"

"The biggest hardship that I have faced in my life is relying entirely on casual labour to raise my family. There are times we have had to sleep hungry as a family whenever I did not find any casual job to do. Things were tough but with time I have been able to improve and have a better living standard for my family. We hope to even see better days ahead with the aid that GiveDirectly has come with."
