"I hope that in the next six months, I will have bought enough construction materials to construct a new kitchen. I currently have an old one that might collapse any moment and I hope that will change soon. Other than serving as a cooking area, the new kitchen will also serve as a sleeping area for some of my grandchildren who are all currently sleeping in one room despite being of different gender."

"The biggest difference in my life since I received this transfer is that I was able to own cows which I have been my dream for three years now. It has been my dream because I knew most of my financial problems will be solved by this kind of investment. I know I will keep the cows and later sell then in time of other financial needs so that I do not struggle to get money. I thank GD because I am also considered rich in my community. This is not how I expected it to be. Thank GD."

"The biggest hardship I face is poverty. I donot have any source of money buying land. This land I would be cultivating to get crop produce. Some of this i would be selling in exchange for money to solve other needs."

"Givedirectly transfers I will spend to build iron-roofed house for my family. I have suffered a lot from rates and termites that are always destroying my grass thatched roof every year. The house whenever it rains leaks and my children keep on getting pneumonia which is costly to treat."

"I am planning to save some money from the transfers in a merry-go-round towards buying more building materials that I will use in building a new house to accommodate my large family. By then I shall be having a new house which will be the envy of the village."

"Receiving this money means I will spend for buying a piece of land. Iam separated with my spouse for about four years and yet I have four children with no where to dig and build houses. It therefore means no adequate food since I donot have gardens to cultivate and this is making life very difficult in terms of feeding. So this is agreat chance from givedirectly for me to fulfill my desires of getting land."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of enough land the had rendard my family food insecure. We eat once a day due to inadequate food."

"Receiving this money means that I have acquired support in hring land and ploughing because I will buy oxen for ploughing and hire some farm land hence good security."

"The biggest challenge I face is, I do not have enough land for cultivation of crops which would in turn support education of my children through the sale of produce."

"Receiving this money means that I will sleep in a better house and buy a cow that will act as an investment for my household. I sleep in a semi permanent house that is cold when it rains and I do not have a reliable source of income because I am lame."
