"In the next six months, I would like to Improve my farming so that we can get food for the family and the surplus I would sell to raise money for paying school fees for my children."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land, complete the construction of my house and buy household items. These will make my home a better place to live in."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house. Maintaining a grass thatched house has become so expensive that I can not afford. I believe these transfers will relieve me of the trouble of changing grass every after three months. "

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is poverty. We mainly depend on casual labouring for a living but it does not sustain all our basic needs like proper feeding, medical care and other necessities."

"Receiving this money means I will be in position to build an iron roofed house. The grass thatched house that I have disturbs a lot. I have to change grass almost every three months which is very costly. I am not able to save any money to do other things that would really be beneficial to my family. "

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of money to pay my children's school fees. This has stretched me alot that I even had to pick a loan to pay school fees."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is sickness. My husband and I are sick and we need close attention all the time. We need treatment all the time so the little money that we are able to earn just goes on medical bills. This leaves us with almost nothing to feed on because the expenditure is high."

"When I receive this money, I will build a low cost ironsheets house because currently the grass thatched house we are living in leaks whenever it rains. I will also buy nice household items like furniture, beddings, utensils and electronics. If there is any balance, I will buy some cows and goats because I'm planning for a livestock raising business to sustain our household."

"Iam going to build iron- roofed house with this money. My family has suffered for every long period of time renovating grass-thatched. This has made me fail to save some money for providing other basic needs like food, clothing and education."

"Before, I had no where to get money to do certain things on time, like ploughing and weeding gardens. I couldn't afford feeding regularly or even buy basic household item like soap. Now life is different in that I can afford food regularly and meet daily home expenses. There's peace of mind because things you wish to do happen on time, thanks to GiveDirectly. "
