How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I hope to build our house in the city soon and relocate my entire family so that my children can acquire a quality education. While we will continue to produce enough crops when sold out for future benefits for the family.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly reduce our burdens among the people of Soloblo town.My concern was drawn to a few things . They refused to inform recipients about their visit.We are farmers.We go to the farm early in the morning to sustain ourselves. They should tell us to enable us to stay in the town to avoid the staff working without results.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
As a mother of 5 children with no income, I'm currently living in a one-bed room house.We survive through the means of sustainable farming, but our crops sometimes can't yield well.I have been challenged to support all of my children in school this year. Givedirectly helps me to reduce most of the burdens.I sent two of my children to the city to continue their education because, where we live, we don't have any schools.The remaining money will be used to build a two-bedroom house for my family.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
My name is Felecia Tanyon I live in Soloblo town, I have four children and when I receive my transfer I will use some portion to build a house in fish town to enable me take my children from here to fish town where they will be able to go to school.
The reason I want to leave this village is because since my husband died his family turned their back on I and my children to move there away from my late husband family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Over the last six months nothing has brought me joy and happiness due to the problem I am facing since the death of my late husband.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenge I am facing right now is that I have no financial support to send send my children to school.
