What does receiving this money mean to you?
" When God agree I get my money, the first thing I will build my own house, secondly, I will open my little business, through the market I will be sustaining my family at the same time supporting my garden work."
What is the happiest part of your day?
" Hmm! Anyway, everyday I am happy because the life is there. But to be happy because I am enjoying life is not a reality. Today, I am happy because you people came here today with this good news. I am happy today, I going pray so God can bless GiveDirectly with plenty money so you people can help this country. You people are the first best NGO, since I know myself to come to this village to help us without taking anything back."
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
" I am surfing for money business, we have cassava but when we take it to the market, all the money will be spent towards transportation." One of my son remain three years to graduate from high school but no money. This is not my body, but the hard time here is why I am looking like this."
