How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I'm hoping to move into my own house after completion. I intend to establish a small business at my house to help reduce some burdens of travelling far away to purchase some food for my family and my neighbouring town.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly should considered either of the spouses be interview during the follow up survey because both spouses gave their consent during enrolment.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I'm a mother of three children.We live in my father-in-law's house. My spouse and I engage in farming to sustain ourselves and other family members in and around my neighbouring town. Sometimes things got a bit tough on us when we had to go to other farms in search of food before we eat.Givedirectly brought relieve on my family.I'm now able to provide our daily meals. The remaining money we bought zinc plank with other building materials to start our new home.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
The house I currently live in is a family house, many days there are some confusion between family members and I. If I should benefit from this cash transfer, We plan to build a house of our own. This will help create privacy for my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Although my husband lost one of his eyes this year, the health of my family and I have brought me joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The major challenge I'm currently faced with is, my inability to construct a house of our own. The little money money earn from farming is sufficient to construct a house of our own.
