"Receiving this money means building another bigger house for my household. I share the one that I have with children and this is inconviniencing. I also hope to buy a motorcycle which can ease movement for my household. My husband will be offering boda-boda services so as to raise more money for the household. The money generated can support me in taking care of the education needs of my children. "

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to build an iron roofed house. My current house leaks so I have to stand each time it rains at night. This is very inconviniencing to me. I believe it is the major cause of malaria in my household beacause mosquitoes have a breeding place. I am just a small scale farmer and raising money to take care of medical bills is a big charllage."

"Receiving means that I will be in position to varnish my house well. I currently stay in a iron-roofed house that lack doors and needs serious renovation. Iam disturb a lot by termites because they eat the doors and it's costly to repair. I will sleep in adescent house and also be able to save money spent on repairing the doors for providing basic needs to my family members."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy land. I will do crop farming in this land inoder to boost my family incomes.This will reduce high level of poverty experienced in the family due to lack of produce from farming."

"The biggest hardship I face is poverty. My household realises very little produce from farming due to limited land. This is affecting provision of basic needs like proper feeding, health and so on. "

"Receiving this money means I will buy an acre of land. I will cultivate in it and the food produced will be adequate enough to support the household through sale and food. Currently, we hire land every year which makes it expensive to sustain."

"The moment I recieved my money, I was over whelmed by joy because I had got the money to use for constructing an iron roofed house for my children."

"The money was sent late at night while I was asleep. I was woken up by the neighbours who were shouting with excitement. At that moment I became very happy because we had no food in the family."

"In the next six months, I believe that my life will have changed. I will have completed building my rental houses. I will use my transfers and the bonus I will be paid in November by the factory to complete this work. Once I finish this project, I will no longer worry about formal employment anymore. I hope all goes well and things move as planned. I attribute all these achievements to Give Directly because were it not for them I would not have gone this far."

"In 2001 I sold some 2 cattle that I had to settle some medical bulls for my daughter whose delivery happened in hospital.Since then,I have never afforded to purchase others.The subsistence farming activities,small scale growing of tomatoes,cannot accord me ability to buy other cattle.Receiving this money means that I will be in a position to purchase other cattle which will benefit me in two ways;I will get milk for sale and consumption and the cows will act as future savings to me."
