"I have reached the stage of having my own house so living in another person house is some how embarrassing. I have been trying to do hard labor job just to build myself a HOUSE but it's not working as planned which is a problem."

"Sleeping in a house that is falling isn't safe. Since I started experiencing leaking from the roof a year ago. I have been gradually fixing my house but due to lack of money, I am unable to continue fixing it which resulted to my belongings getting soak whenever rain falls. Receiving money from Give Directly is a DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME so I will used the money to build a better house my family."

"The major challenge am currently facing is building a house in which my children will be having their own room because they and myself including my fiance are sleeping in which is really embarrassing. There's no privacy for my spouse and myself."

"Due to lack of food as a result of Guinea Pigs eating our Cassava we planted, getting food to sustain us is a serious problem so receiving money from Give Directly will be a great u because I and my husband will used to money to buy enough food for our family and the remaining money will be used to change our roof because anytime rain falls, we can't sleep due to the leakages."

""Throughout my youth days until now, all of my activities which includes hunting and farming are for the sole purpose of educating my children. I tired at times and want to take a rest but when i think about my children's school, I get reminded that i have tasks to perform. If I'm lucky to receive this money, l rest from farming abit, use it for my children's fees and build a new house"."

"The challenge am facing has to do with finding a job that will enable me generate money to pay my children school fees and rebuild my house."

"I was eating when I heard people in the town that GiveDirectly has sent their transfer. I ran to the location where we can get network in our community. I checked my phone, and I saw my transfer. I called my wife and we started celebrating. I have been living in poverty. I plan crops on the farm to feed my family. I am living in a house that is in a deplorable condition. I bought zinc to build new house. In a short possible time, I will have a conducive place to live. I appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer."

"What GiveDirectly is doing well is that GiveDirectly give me cash that I will not pay back. GiveDirectly don't accept bribe from community people. All the staff that have spoken with me are very respectful. What I know is that GiveDirectly is doing everything well."

"I was in the town and I heard others saying that they have received their transfer. I went to the place where we usually go to call because there is no network in the town. When I saw the transfer message on my phone, I started to cry, because I have suffered alot, and I didn't know I was going to receive such money to help me solve problems I have been faced with. I have bought znic to improve my house I built since 2010. I also bought matress which has been a long-term plan for me, but I couldn't afford the money to buy it. I have been sleeping on mat. I appreciate GiveDirectly for sending me this money that is changing my living condition rapidly."

"I have been suffering because my house is very old. When ever it rains, my house gets wet because the grass thatch that the building is roof with leaks. When I got my first transfer, I bought zinc to change my house entire roof. With my second transfer, I have developed a new goal to pay my children school fees. I am a farmer and I used everything I get from my farm to feed my family. This transfer has started changing my family living condition because I will soon improve my house, and my children are in school. I appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer."
