"As a young family, we struggle in a lot of ways to make a living. Even though we are energetic to do a business, opportunities to find loans are very scarce and we do not even benefit from any program targeting the youth like our counterparts in towns. This money will be used to start a small business which will be of benefit in future. We shall also set some funds aside to construct a comfortable house for us as we do not know when we shall ever make this amount of money for free again. In addition, we will also try to buy some fetilizer and clothes. This is so as we do not harvest enough due to lack of fertilizer and our clothes are few. We are vey happy to get enrolled in this program by Give Directly."

We are now getting our daily basic needs like food without straining a lot unlike before. I"

"My life is different than it would have been if I had never received my transfer in that, I am living happily after getting back my personal solitude.

Also I was able to buy ox and plough which will improve my farming by replacing my traditional ways of using hands for farming."

"I spent my second transfer to purchase a bicycle for $150. This is because during the drought season It will assist me in fetching water for my family. Back in the days, I would walk for a long distance up to 20km in order to get water for my family. With the help of the bicycle I will spent less time to get water. I also, used $ 50 to hire an oxen to assist me in the preparation of my firm. Furthermore, I spend the remaining amount to pay school fees and purchased enough food for my family."
