What does receiving this money mean to you?
"My household doesn't own a house which have caused us to scatter in a single room in the town's chief house. When I receive my transfer from GiveDirectly, I will use portion of it to build a house for my family and invest in a mini 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 6 months, nothing has brought joy to me because I lost two of my family members that was so dear to me".
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"The challenge I'm facing currently is lack of finance. My household is involved into farming, but the proceeds from the farm is not enough to cater to our household needs and at the same time start a mini business".
