"I was very happy when I received this money. I couldn't believe that GiveDirectly will send me such amount of money. My son graduated from high school and I was wondering how to raise money to send him to college. Fortunately for me I received this money from GiveDirectly which I used for the intended purpose."

"" I have my shop and I'm selling some food stuff but there's no much buyers because where we are living is far beyond for this we don't earn much . We end up eating all most all of our goods. Secondly there is no health facility in our village and looking at the deplorable road conditions its difficult to travel for proper health care. ""

"I will use the transfer to build my house. I'm currently living in a mud house that is roof with thatch and I want to change it to concrete amd roof it with Zinc."

"Receiving this money means a better house for me. Currently, I live in a small grass-thatched house that I share with my co-wife and this has congested it due to the many belongings we have. When I receive my transfers, I plan to use them to start the construction and I believe in 10 months, I will have achieved this. In addition, I will buy a modern bed and a mattress to replace my rugged sacks. This will bring about a better change in my livelihood, a transformation that I have wished for a long time."

""To earn money has been one of major challenges. Nobody to turn to for assistance because things are hard everywhere.""

""Financial problem. I have a farmland but the bush animals can eat all of my crops before harveat, at the end I don't have sufficient to harvest and sell to generate funds. This is a major challenge in my family now"."
