"I intend to use the money for building as the one I currently live in is grass thatched and made of mud. I also intend to use the money to purchase enough fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough maize for food and for sale"

"The biggest hardship is we live in a typical rural area and we lack alot of things such as clean water and money for food.i hope when i receive the first transfer i will use it to build a house and buy farm inputs such as fertiliser and improved seeds so that i should be able to harvest much more products next season."

"I am happy to see that it is really a reality that I will receive this huge sum of money, God should bless the people who are responsible in sending this money to us, we don't take it for granted at all"

"I am very happy to get registered because the money will reduce the current poverty I have, I will be able to build a new house with the money that I will receive"

"My life has changed completely because of the assistance given from give directly"

"My life has changed completely because of the assistance given from give directly. I now have a mattress"

"GiveDirectly does everything well, and the fact that it does not involve chief when selecting who to benefit I am very happy about that"

"When I recieved the money, i bought a mattress, 2 blankets and iron sheets for my home. I have been sleeping on the bare ground using a sack for a sleeping mat. I saw this opportunity to find a mattress so that i nolonger sleep on the ground. The iron sheets i have kept so that when i have more money i can build a much comfortable house ."

"When i recieved the money my money, i went to the boma and bought 22 iron sheets as well as nails and wires for the roofing of the house that i am planning on building. I also bought 10 bags of maize for my household as we did not harvest enough maize to last us the year. I have saved some of the money so that i can pay the builder when the time to build my house comes."

"Receiving this money means upscaling my farming which will result in food security in my household. Currently, I struggle a lot in feeding my family of 4 because I am unable to till my 5 acres of land. I usually use hoes and the much I harvest is only 1.5 sacks that last us for 2 months. I, therefore, plan to buy oxen and an ox-plough to help me increase my farm production, and to achieve this, I will spend utmost $380 of my transfers. With the remaining amount, it will help me to construct a house for myself and the one I currently have will be for my children, who are at the moment have occupied the kitchen. This will change my livelihood, a transformation that I have ever admired."
