"Deficiency of financial resources stands to be the biggest hardship that I face in life. All through my life, I have always desired to be a teacher. My parents struggled to educate me until I completed my secondary schooling but due to lack of finances, they could not stretch themselves further. After several months of hopelessness, I thought that my luck had changed when I got married and my husband promised to see me through college. However as bad luck would have it, he too ended up losing his well paying job before fulfilling his promise and from that time, my greatest desire has remained to be a dream. At times I feel so frustrated with our financial situation because I know that had I managed to go to college, I would be employed and I would be comfortably assisting him with the expenses, but the reality is that there is nothing I can do except to be optimistic that a another chance will present itself for me to still realise my dream. "

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is illness at home. My spouse is sickly and alot of money is spent on treatment."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of money to take care of our basic needs."

"When I receive this money, I will start some projects i trained in like making soap and chalk."

"I will make a plan on how to buy building materials so that by the end of around four months, I should be able to build a new house. I live in a very small house whose walls have been wearing off from time to time and today it is at risk of collapsing if nothing is done about it in the near future."

"My life is different in that, I have owned cows and replaced house hold items that had got burnt in my house. I have a peaceful mind because I paid all the debts that I had and also paid the medical expenses for treating my daughter's. I couldn't have saved my daughter's life had I not recieved this money and at my old age I wouldn't have owned the cows I currently have."

"Through this support I was able to under gone surgery that has improved my health. I would have not under gone surgery had I not recieved this transfer from GiveDirectly because it costed a lot of money that I didn't have in person. I would have lost my life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have owned 2 piglets that I intend to keep for my children's education. I am also having new beddings, a water drum, four jerry cans and I was able to seek proper medical treatment for myself and children with this transfer. Previously , I used to sell the tittle food I had for paying medical bills and school fees."

"I expect to live a different life because right now I am in search of a job particularly driving jobs. I have been jobless for some time now but I think its time to change the narrative and become employed as a full-time driver."

"Recieving this money means that I will be able to use it for varnishing my house. I shall plaster and cement the house using this transfers."
