"The biggest hardship I face is poverty. I donot have better income generating activity and at the same time Iam disabled from vehicle accident."

"The biggest difference is that I will soon have a spacious home. I knew I would one day build another house but I did not know it would be this soon. We will now be able to sleep comfortably and avoid intruding each other's space. The one we are currently living in will sever as a sleeping room for my children or visitors."

"I now have my own working place where I have freedom of operating the way I wish to without having to work as a slave or get pay cuts when one or two things are not in a good way."

"I thank GiveDirectly for their financial assistance because through this help my living standard has greatly improved. Previously I was living in a small house that could not accommodate my family. Through the transfer, I managed to add a few rooms. Everyone in my family is now comfortable. The comfort that came with the expansion of this house is my biggest difference."

"The other difference is that I find it easy to handle my issues. I no longer have to worry about school fees anymore. I only work hard to raise money to feed my family and other needs. This has given me a peace of mind because I am not worried abourt my children being sent home anytime again. I feel thye burdens I have now are equivalent to what I earn. Thanks to GD."

"In the next six months, I want to plaster my house. This is my biggest goal this year. I have always desired to have a house but I would not want to lose it soon. I would want to handle the issue of plastering it once and for all so that I focus on other needs."

"In the next six months, I want to start saving so that I can raise money for my college fees. I finished my secondary school last year but due to lack of money, I was not able to join college. This is the reason why I want to save so as to further my education."

"I expect that in the next six months, I will have opened my own egg depot where I will distribute the eggs and chickens from the chicken project I am currently putting together. This will mean a much better source of income for me compared to the current casual farm jobs that I depend on yet earns me just peanuts. My prayer is financial stability which I hope will be witnessed in the next six months."

"In the next six months, I want to invest more in farming. I want to ensure any planting season I use fertilizer and hybrid seeds which I know will give me the best harvest. I will sell the surplus to raise income to support my family financially."

"In the next six months l expect to have started poultry keeping."
