"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to build an iron roofed house. My current house leaks so I have to stand each time it rains at night. This is very inconviniencing to me. I believe it is the major cause of malaria in my household beacause mosquitoes have a breeding place. I am just a small scale farmer and raising money to take care of medical bills is a big charllage."

"The biggest hardship I face is my girl is sickly. My daughter loses a lot of blood and it's becoming costly to treat. Iam even failling to manage some costs like paying school fees for my other children."

"Iam challenge with sickness in my household. I and my spouse both have taken longer suffering from high and low blood pressures. This is too costly and we have ended up selling what ever is at home for treatment. My family survives in a limping conditions with God mercy."

"I have limited space to carry out crop farming hence my household realised very little crop produce each season. This does not support the needs of my family members like provision of better health, education and feeding. Givedirectly transfers will enable me buy land for crop farming. I will be in position to crop on large scale hence increase in production. They will be enough to utilise both socially and economically thus improving the living standards of my house hold."

"The biggest hardship I face in my life is lack of enough land. I hire land every year and most of it is not fertile enough. I rely on food for sale and some to feed my household. Food shortage makes me worried about what the family will feed on and how family needs will be solved."

"The moment I recieved my money, I was over whelmed by joy because I had got the money to use for constructing an iron roofed house for my children."

"The biggest difference is that we collectively purchased a motorcycle that is earning daily income. Prevoiusly, we had no income generating activity. I am very delighted that GiveDirectly came to our rescue. "

"In the next six months, I believe that my life will have changed. I will have completed building my rental houses. I will use my transfers and the bonus I will be paid in November by the factory to complete this work. Once I finish this project, I will no longer worry about formal employment anymore. I hope all goes well and things move as planned. I attribute all these achievements to Give Directly because were it not for them I would not have gone this far."

"We were brought up in a humble background.Sustaining ourselves has been a big challenge to me owing to the fact that I don't have a stable job that can generate income to me.Lack of stable job to sustain my family made my spouse desert me.To date,the lack of a stable job to sustain myself remains a big hurdle to me"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have built a better and spacious house for my family. Before we used to live in one small house which could not host all my family comfortably. Whenever I had visitors it was so embarrassing because there was nowhere to sleep. I could take them to my neighbor's house to sleep. Currently, I no longer fear to welcome visitors to my home because I have a decent and spacious house. My children are also a good place to sleep they no longer spend nights at their grandmother's house. They could walk at night to their grandmother house which was so risky for them. They could not complete their assignment because of the movement at night. Currently, they are so happy the do their assignment in time and their performance has improved so much."
