""I am a window. During the past years my husband and I were engaged into making large farm to sustain our family , but he is late. Since I am not too young to make large portion of farm, when I receive this money I will use some to sent my grandchildren to school. I will give some to my oldest son to invest into business to enable him take good care of me when I am no longer able to farm.""

"I intend to build my house with this money."

"I face challenges to provide for my family. I rely on casual labor to earn a living. This gives me alot of pressure especially when there is scarcity of such jobs. We end up sleeping on empty stomach sometimes."

"This money will mean alot to me. It will save me from alot of pressure am facing. I am a single mother with four kids. To support them on my own is hard. So this money will help me out, i will buy food, household assets and iron sheets."

"The money will help me to change things at my household. I have lined up alot of activities in anticipation of this transfer. I will buy enough food for my household, that way i will be able to work hard in my field. As of now, i give little attention to my field as i spend time working in other peoples field."

"I am happy to receive this money because I have alot of needs, so I feel like this money will help me so much to fulfill such needs, as you can see my house is in a very bad state and it is not coresponding to the size of my family, I will use the money to build a bigger house"

"The challenge that I am facing currently is the sickness of my wife. My wife has a problem, she is having problems with her leg,she has been going to the hospital for treatment but nothing has changed."

"This money is a very welcome development in my life. I believe that it is special that GiveDirectly decided to give us these cash transfers. I plan to use build a big house that will accommodate my family. I have been trying to build a house but it has not been possible due to lack of money."

"Receiving this money will bring a house for me and my family. I do not have a house so we will build a house, buy beddings and clothes for my children. If there will be some money left I will buy better kitchen utensils."

"Currently, the only challenge I am facing is that it is very hard to get piece work/casual labour (ganyu) so since I depend on to survive, of late it has become really hard at home because there is just no money since there is no casual labour."
