Birumvikana ko niba inka yanjye izaba yarorotse nagurisha izaba yayikomotesho nkaba nanagura umurima.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly kubwanjye yakoze neza cyane igihe yazanaga ubu bufasha igatanga inkunga y'amafaranga itagendeye ku byiciro by'ubudehe, icyiciro waba warabarizwagamo cyose ntibyakubuzaga kuba wabona inkunga igihe wabaga wujuje ibisabwa. Ikindi yakoze neza ni ukwimakaza gahunda y'uburinganire hagati y'umugabo n'umugore mu rugo aho amafaranga akenshi yanyuzwaga ku mugore itandukanye na mbere aho byose byacaga ku mugabo. Ubu rero umugabo abona ko umugore ashoboye kandi afite uruhare rukomeye mu iterambere ry'urugo.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Inkunga ya mbere nakiriye yaje isanga nyotewe gutunga inka kuko turi abahinzi borozi, tukaba dukenera ifumbire. Amafaranga ya mbere rero angezeho nahise nshakamo inka ubu ndayoroye. Kuko hari uwo nari mbereyemo umwenda narabuze uko mwishyura nahise nkoresha amafaranga nari nsigaje nyuma yo kugura inka ndamwishyura umwenda mba ndawurangije mbona ububohoka. Naho ku nkunga ya kabiri, amafaranga amaze kungeraho nahise nshaka ingurube yo korora ngo izajye yunganira ya nka mu kuduha ifumbire. Ikindi gice cyasigaye ku nkunga ya kabiri nabaye nkibitse kuko nifuza guhita mpindura isakaro ry'inzu yacu tukava ku mategura tukajya mu ibati, ntegereje ko imvura icika ubundi imu gihe cy'izuba nkatangira kuvugurura inzu yanjye.

What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
We are planning to buy a cow that will cost us $350, this cow will help us in our agriculture activities as we will get manure to fertilise our land and this will increase the production. We will also buy a piece of land that will cost us $250, the land will be used for agriculture, we will grow food crops and as the production will be increased we will have enough food in our home. The rest of money will be spent on renewing the house by covering it with cement and it will cost $250.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The thing that brought us joy in last 6 months is that we have planted a forest and as it was in sunny period we had no hope that it will grow successfully, after two months we found out that the trees are in a good condition and we were excited to see that progress. We planted that forest knowing that it will support us in the future, we have children who will need school fees and other school stuffs, therefore we will sell the trees from the forest to get money that will cover those needs.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenge we are facing is that we have a small land in which we grow our crops. It is a challenge because we don't get enough production from it and for that it requires us to go for searching other income generating activities like cultivating for others so that we can get money to buy food to support our own produce . The other challenge is that we don't have a cow and because of that we are lacking manure to use in our agriculture activities hence the low production. In addition, living in this muddy house without fencing is another challenge, we would like to cover it with cement and build a fence.
