"I lack money for fertilizers resulting in my household harvesting very poor yields consequently leading to constant hunger"

"I have always wanted to have an iron sheet roofed house but I have always been constrained by finances resulting in my household residing in a small grass thatched house"

"I am so happy to receive these funds from GD. My house is not in good shape. I will use these funds to mend it probably build a new house and put iron sheets."

"The biggest hardship in my life is poverty. I am unable to find money to feed my children cloth them or buy basic needs"

"I bought ironsheets and timbers, a bicycle, matress and blankets"

"Givedirectly is good because it give us free money"

"I want to buy roofing materials"

"Givedirectly does well by Visiting us at our homes, it does well by not giving the cash to the chiefs to give us. Reaching us directly helps us to receive full amount without anyone taking our share"

"I am still happy now because I'm never this lucky in my life."

"Let me express my sincere gratitude to GD for this program. This means a lot to me. My life has been full of struggles. My husband run away in 2017 and that was the end of my marriage. I am struggling to support my family. I plan to renovate my house when I receive my transfer. The food that I have in storage is not enough because we didn't use fertilizer. I plan to buy some bags of fertilizer in readiness of the next growing season and some bags of maize so that I can supplement on the little I have."
