"The biggest hardship I face is difficulty in providing food to my children. My husband and I have unreliable sources of income hence unable at times to provide meals for my children."

"The biggest hardship that I am facing is that I do not have a stable source of income to rely on. For a very long time, my business of selling samosas has not been doing very well.As a result, sustaining most of my family's needs like feeding, providing a decent shelter, providing decent clothing and ensuring that all my children go to school regularly has become a struggle for me. "

"Many things have changed in my daily life. I can cook enough food throughout the day for my children. They are now assured of enough meals because we used to have little to just help us get by. Now we have more than enough because of the transfer from GiveDirectly."

"I have a new goal of constructing a house, I wanted to buy a piece of land for farming but the thought being homeless made me change mind. Now I really wan tto build a house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the availability of basic needs that we now have because of the transfer from GiveDirectly . We used to lack food and live in pitiable conditions but now things are much better. We are well fed and will soon be in good a shelter. All I can say is 'May God bless GiveDirectly. '"

"My life is difference than it wouldd have been if I never received the transfer in that I have gained a piece of mind since I have acquired a she - cow which has already reproduced and now the money I used to buy milk with I have saved on buying household expenditures . "

"The biggest hardship I face in my life is lack of food. We are not employed and therefore relies on hard labour to earn a living."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is the struggle i go through in order to pay school fees for my children. I rarely sleep at night due to thoughts that occupy my mind every time i think of how to clear school fees arreas in varrious schools where my children school in. However, i hope that when i receive this money my life will change"

"The biggest hardship I currently face in my life is my inability to meet medical costs for my ailing children. I do not have a reliable sources of income."

"This transfer means a lot to our family. Receiving this money means that we shall buy a better and bigger farmland, and subsequently start crop farming. We are currently living in a very small (0.1 acres)and rocky place. Hence, this money will definitely change our source of livelihood from casual labor to crop farming."
