"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of oxen and an ox-plough to support in cultivation. My children have for long been doing casual labour so as to raise money that can hire oxen and an ox-plough to clear the small available piece of land that I have. Despite the fact that we actually pay money in order to get the service, it has never been easy. The owners of oxen can only release them after they have finished to plant which in most cases is late. The bad weather affects the crops and poor yields in the end which brings about food shortage. As I speak, I don't have food in the house.I do casual labour for survival. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build iron-roofed house for my family. I stay in acracked grass thatched house and nights seems longer since it's walls may fall any time. Givedirectly transfers will enable me build astrong iron-roofed house for better accommodation. My family members will no longer have sleepless nights. Their lives will also be out of danger."

"Receiving this money means that I will spend it for buying land. I produced children at home after separating with my spouse and they have no where to settle in future. They will build and carry out farming in this land hence making a living."

"I will have a dairy cow and my crop farming will be doing better. I expect to do more of the tomato farming to ensure that I make more money for my family's use. I have all the skills I need in the crop farming that will ensure higher success and profits because I will get sufficient inputs such as farm chemicals and seeds using the transfers."

"Poor accommodation is my biggest hardship. The house I sleep in is leaking and very expensive to collect grass because it involves buying and hiring a vehicle for picking. We also don't have adquate bedding which makes the living standard to be low. This is attributed to the leaky roof which keeps on destroying the few bedding which we own."

"Building a permanent house is what this money will mean to me. I am sleeping in a grass thatched house which is leaking as a result of holes made on the roof by rats. I will buy some bedding and the balance will be spent on feeding. I am aging and I depend on well wishers for support. "

"The biggest hardship I face in my life is inadequate food at household level. When I have plenty of harvest, I sell some in order to acquire other household items that are lacking like bedding, treatment, payingpaying school fees, to mention."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change in that I shall heave more income from my assets and other valuable investments that I have so far made. I shall have as well ceased from engaging in hard casual jobs that consumes most of my time as at now and give little returns! "

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months in that I will be stable in farming operations. My tea farm will be doing better. Additionally, I will have harvested maize that I planted using the money I received. I will have established my poultry-keeping too. These very many sources of income are going to come from diligent utilization n of the coming transfers."

"In the next six months, my life will have changed because I will be living in a good house. I will have also started a shop business. I intend to build it near the road on our farm. I will stock the shop using the money I am receiving from GiveDirectly. I will be getting an income from the shop and living in a nice home."
