"The biggest hardship that I face in my life is lack of food. I depend on piece work to earn money for food. Since we do not have electricity in our village, I have to go the nearest trade center to do some work such as tailoring. It is from such jobs that I am able to earn some money for food. This money is not to buy food for my family."

"My life is different now, I have been able to buy food, clothes, proper beddings as well as maintaining the house. All these because of the transfer received From Give directly."

"" The main challenge is money. I have to complete my house as well as sent my children to school but no money. Food is also a challenging situation because my children and I have to eat every day but it's difficult. We make farm but the place is no conducive for production, animal also eat the rice and harvest is low."

"I have been struggling for survival and to help sustain my family and myself for so many years now. However, if I'm successful for Give Directly Cash transfer program, I want to use the money to built my house and also established a business that will help us in the future because I know that Give Directly will not always be giving us money forever."

"I have lots of challenges but the one I considered to be the biggest is, my house, as you can clearly see, I'm living in a building that is not in good condition. Even by getting my daily bread has become a pronlem due to the current financial constraints that I am faced with, I didn't get better food to eat yester it was later that I got green banana last night to eat after spending the whole day hungry."

"The challenges we currently face with is financial constrain. Now that almost everyone in the village are surviving through coal making it is difficult to get wood to burn, because no forest to get more wood and burn enough coal."

"I plan to send my children to school, and what ever remain i will used it to buy food for my houshold. Our only source of income is from the subsistence farming and what we produced on the farm is not enough to sponsor all of them in school and get daily needs from it."

"" Since I lost my husband and five (5) of my children, I have not been myself, moreover my husband was my last hope who just died November 03, 2020. Things are very hard. As I speak to you, I haven't eaten since this morning. Maybe neighbors will send my food this afternoon when they are back from the farm"."
