"I was working with the ministry of health for 5 year until I was pention in 2020.After my pention thing got really bad on my family because I was the only one financially stable at that time. I started engaging into farming but it was easy for me to cultivate large portion of farm to produce crops to sustain our selves. I used Givedirectly money to buy a motorcycle for my son to do transport business. With the help of this transport business and the profit we will be able to educate and support our family."

"Givedirectly make sure to enrolled everyone with out discrimination and I really enjoy their work ethics, their commitment,and honesty through out the enrolling process till date."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly's assistance raised our standard of living by transforming our lives. They empowered and supported our community without discriminating against anyone. I didn't point out any flaws or things that weren't done with the utmost integrity."

"I have a small land to cultivate, no cow or other livestocks to get compost to fertilize my small land, to get food, I used only district support of $10 per month. My house is not finished yet and It affected my health"

"We have a small land to cultivate and that cause lacl of food at home, It requires us to work hard in other farm for $1 per day."

"We don't have enough fertiliser to use in our land , to be able to get inorganic fertiliser which is quite expensive we have to work for others to be able to pay for it and sometimes we are not able to get that money and we just use organic fertiliser which doesn't give enough harvest as we want. Me and my husband cyprien we are always sick we have to go to the hospital most of the times which is not easy for us to pay our bills, we had to sell all our small livestocks to be able to pay for the hospital bills."

"The main challenge is that I am living in this house which is not well finished, the doors are not good and as you can see outside it is made of mud bricks only, it doesn't look good. In addition, when it rains, the rain pass through and reach inside."

"When it rains,Bufuma is hard to reach It's hard to access any kind of services.When it rains ,I am scared that any time the landslide will come so I live in fear."

"Looking into the next year, I purpose to have successfully enrolled my son in high school. He recently completed grade eight and is set to join secondary education, but financial constraints are burdening me. After he is settled, I plan to construct a concrete pillar around the mud walls of my house to reinforce them. This will prevent the house from collapsing from adverse weather. "

"Having no one to support me in raising my children is tough since I lack a stable source of income for all their basic needs. At this point, supporting their education is the greatest opportunity  I can offer them to ensure they secure a brighter future. I plan to do this by continuing to save through the self-help group and rearing livestock to afford their school fees. "
