"Receiving this money means great joy to me because, my desires will be fulfilled. I'm currently sick, therefore when I receive this money, part of it will go for treatment. I intend also to construct an iron roofed house for the family because my current grass thatched house is being attacked by termites and they have started eating the grass. Buying grass is also expensive because they are transported from a distant village."

"Receiving this money will enable me and my household to build a permanent house that will improve on our living standards. The house we stay in is grass thatched and termites have eaten the grass. It's very expensive to renovate due to scarcity of grass. This permanent house when built will reduce the cost of renovating it periodically."

"The biggest hardhsip that I face in lack of enough land in order to promote large scale farming. I can not pay my children's school fees in time because of low output due to limited land. The little produce realized will be split among competing demands which affects other priorities. "

"My life has become good because we bought a motorbike that my husband rides for business and from it we are able to get money for meeting basic needs like food, soap, sugar, paying medical bills and many more. Before, we depended on casual labor for survival, we had no time to do our own farm work. Now that we have a source of money, all our concentration is in our farm. I thank GiveDirectly a lot."
