"Receiving this money means sleeping in a fully furnished house. I will renovate my house which has a low roof, plaster it and make it decent such that it will look specious enough. I am single and it is very inconviniencing to look for grass every year. I therefore prefer to renovate my house that can accommodate me and improve on my living standards. "

"Receiving this moeny means owning oxen that will support me in animal traction. The animals will help open up a large portion of land that will enable my household to have enough food and some of it can even be sold in order to meet other family problems."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of farm land. My late father sold a bigger portion of the land that he had and only left a small piece for us to share among ourselves. I am not able to farm as I would wish to because I am limited by space. I don't have money to buy more land so I try my best to hire which is also expensive. This requires that I sell off part of the harvested food so as to raise money for hire. This has always led to food shortage in my home. "

"Financial instability is my biggest hardship. This is attributed to the fact I am a housewife and I depend solely on my husband. His charcoal burning job does not earn him enough to sustain us. This has resulted to food insecurity in my family. It is also difficult to raise school fees and my children are always sent back home."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house based on the fact that grass is so scarce these days. I will also buy a piece of land that I can cultivate in order to increase food priductity in my household. This will save me from the burden of buying food. "

"Imagine sleeping on an earthen floor for over twenty years with sacks and rags serving as beddings. This situation has brought suffering in my life and I always wish that night never comes. My skin is full of hives which are a result of the constant scratching caused by insect stings. As if this is not enough, maggots feed on my body like I am a corpse. It has always been my desire to get out of this traumatizing state but it is impossible because of insufficient funds. I will therefore purchase beddings to save myself the agony of spending nights on the floor. I will also purchase goats for rearing to generate income."

"The biggest hardship in my daily life is inadequate food for the household. Because of the little farm land that I own, I can not produce enough food which makes me and my family members more vulnerable to diseases due to the weak immunity. "

"My plan is to build iron-roofed house with this money. This will help me save the money I spend in looking for thach grass each year. The money saved I can use for managing the demands of my family like better feeding ,education and providing good medical care where need be."

"Givedirectly transfers will enable me marry a wife. I will spent the money to buy animals (cows and goasts) for marrying my spouse. This will make me recognised by my in-laws as their son in- law hence benefiting all traditional rights."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house, start up a business that can generate income. This will improve the standard of living in my household because service provision will have been made easier."
