"The biggest hardship I face is poverty. After becoming awidow I was forced out of my late spouse's land and I donot have where to farm yet this could be the only source of earning. Iam experiencing serious hunger since I do not have enough food at my home. My children are malnurious because of poor feeding."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a cow as well as keep some chicken.Having young children requires that one has a source of milk to substitute their diet.I have not been able to buy one because of lack of money and these transfers have provided me that opportunity to actualize it.I will also build a poultry house and then buy some chicken and through sale of eggs be able to provide the daily needs of my family"

"My life will have changed in the next six months in that I will not be buying milk anymore. This is because my heifer will have reproduced. Also, I will have planted some livestock feeds so that my livestock will be having enough feeds throughout the year especially during the dry season. I will have also finished building a kitchen for my family. As a result of this, my wifes items will always be secure since she will not have to take them outside at night anymore."

"with the plans that we have of plastering the rest of our house, I hope that in the next six months, we will be living in a much better environment. Plastering the entire house will make it look more decent and easy to maintain, therefore, we will not have to constantly worry about smearing to keep it in good shape."

"The moment I received my money I felt so happy. I remember it was very early in the morning when I heard a message from my phone and I thought it was the common message from friends but when I checked it I could not believe my eyes because I have never received such amount of money before. I do casual jobs and the money that I receive from doing that was so little. My spouse and children were so happy because we knew our lives will change to be good. On that morning we went to buy building materials and planned on building a house."

"I believe in the next six months, I will be having a stable business hence a stable source of income. I will be in a position to take care of my children with a lot of ease."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have bought a dairy cow. I used to buy milk from my neighbors and it was so costly for me. I do casual in the village and the amount of money I get from this is not enough to gather for all the basic needs of the family. Sometimes we could miss getting casual jobs and my family had to go without milk and breakfast and this was so demoralizing especially when we had visitors in our home. Currently, I have enough milk for my family and I sell the surplus at the market to earn an income to meet other basic needs and also save some amount to pay school fees for my children in primary school. I have devoted most of my time to work on my farm and this has resulted in a good harvest. I am so much grateful for the support from GiveDictely it has changed our living standard."

"After completion of the construction of a new house in our household, we have decided to pull together our finances so that we may purchase a piece of land. All my family members have come to this agreement after consideration that the available piece of land in our household is too small to be shared amongst all of us. We have opened an account where we will be depositing an equal amount of money after every two weeks and by the end of six months, we will have raised enough money to purchase a piece of land. We have already started the contribution and soon we'll start searching for a piece of land on sale. I expect this project to run smoothly and by the end of the six months, we expect to have gotten ready to purchase that piece of land."

"With the current plans to construct a fishpond and initiation of fish farming, I expect the project to have started in the next six months."

"I expect that my life to change in the future because I have a plan of buying a cow which will act some short term saving going into the unforesseable future. The advantage is that I stand a chance to gain back my cash by selling the cow in the event that I run out of finances."
