What does receiving this money mean to you?
"My household does not own a house which have caused us to scatter in a single room in my mother's house. When I receive my transfer from GiveDirectly I will use portion of it to build a house for my family and at the same time invest in a small business with the remaining one that could serve as a source of income to cater to my household needs ".
What is the happiest part of your day?
"In the last six months I and my household never experience sickness and we always had daily meal. That what makes me happy".
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"The challenge I am facing currently is lack of finance. I am involved into farming, but the proceeds from the fishing is not enough to build a house, start a business and at the same time cater to my household needs".
