"The house is a vivid mark for GiveDirectly. My initial house burnt at a time when I had completely no means of building another house because getting food for the family was not easy. The season was also very tough, hunger was everywhere in our area. Sincerely speaking, if it were not for GiveDirectly I don’t know how the living condition would be like as at now."

"Having a spacious house of two rooms and a sitting room is a big difference in my life. The initial one despite being collapsing it was also very small and it hardly accommodates us all well. It was our main house as well as the kitchen, you can just imagine how the situation was when it comes to sleeping time, a house full of smoke that is as a result of the cooking process that had taken place plus the heat, and then we were there to seep. It was pathetic but thanks to GiveDirectly for seeing us through this situation."

"I'm going to get involved with business to sustain my family when I receive my transfer."

"My present challenge is the issue of Job. There's not many job opportunities and this has led to me engaging into hard labour works that I may provide for my family."

"I will do business with whatever transfer i received from GIVEDIRECTLY to support my children and myself because their father has abandoned us, and we are just through God's mercy."

"My current challenge for now is money problem, I do not have money to settle my problems so I'm really worry because I credited from the club to pay my children school fees and now the year is about to end I have not pay the money yet so that my main challenge for now ."

"I plan to make business and send my daughter to school with this money."

"If I'm qualify to get this money, I will definitely be able to send my children to school and build myself a decent house, lastly I will establish a business."

"Receiving such a huge amount was beyond my imagination and had to thank God so much for giving us another opportunity to rise again out of the struggles we had been undergoing in our family. I was at home that morning and my phone was still charging when I received a message that confirmed the receipt of the money. I could not react to the message immediately but after some minutes, I got a call from a neighbor who was asking me whether I had also received it. At that point, I had to check it up, and lucky enough, I had the money in my account. I was really happy and had to start planning to withdraw since the spending plan was in place."

"The instant slash of the cost of buying milk after buying a good breed of a cow has brought the biggest difference in my daily life. I had been working extra hard in my daily chores but unfortunately, I could not save since I had been spending the extra coins on buying milk daily. I am glad that the cow that I bought has been providing enough milk for my family of two and also a surplus that we can sell to the neighborhood to earn some income."
