"I have struggled hard all my life supporting my children's needs and now that they are no longer dependent on me, I aspire to live a comfortable life than before. Receiving this money will enable me to build a two-roomed iron-roofed kitchen that will cost a total of $250. One of the rooms will serve as a bedroom to my visitors, thus no more shame of asking my neighbors to host them at night whenever they come visiting. I also plan to spend $250 to buy 8 goats that will act as my store of wealth to be sold whenever there is a need for emergency cash. I will then buy household furniture and install a solar panel in my house costing @300"

"I have been having constant pain on my right breast for the last 8 years making it the biggest hardship I have faced in life. I have visited several hospitals for diagnosis but they have found nothing wrong with it. We have sold all our sheep and a cow at my disposal leaving us with nothing to fend for my family. Our future plan is to use our second transfer from Give Directly to seek further medication in a better hospital which can give us reliable results and thus having an ultimate solution for my illness."
