"Money problems. If my husband and I don't look for casual work then we won't have food in the house to the point of sleeping on empty stomachs. Our house is small and not enough for the 4 us. Means of finding money are hard to find here in the village since most of these things are seasonal."

"My biggest challenge is poverty. I'm living in my son's house because mine fell and he moved to his wife's village so that I could live in his house. I have no mattress and beddings which I would like to have one day. I am old but I still have to go out to find money for food. I rely on casual labour."

"Currently our only challenge as a household is poor housing. As you can see this house is grass thatched. Having to thatch it year in year out is costly for us and energy draining for us. We wish we lived in an iron sheet roofed house with cemented floor in all 3 rooms but are unable to achieve that due to lack of money."

"My only challenge at present is lack of housing. My initial house collapsed in January due to heavy rains so I have had to move into this boysquarter for shelter. This doesn't bring me the comfort I need and the fact that I don't have the financial capacity to build a new and better house stresses me even more."

"I will buy a bed to sleep on the remaining money will be used for my children who go to school."

"I want to buy three bundles of zinc for the house."

"In my thinking givedirectly has done so much for me. I thank God for givedirectly for blessing us through this program. Nothing new givedirectly needed for this program all is okay."

"I am grateful to givedirectly for coming to my community things have been so challenging for me. I am a hunter but through this cash transfer I am building my house and I have had time to be with the family not going in the bush to hunt. Givedirectly has not been any worse in my community than I know of."

"Givedirectlyy has been so good to me, through this program I am able to build a house and help my children. givedirectly has not done any wrong in our community that I can point to."

""GiveDirectly is doing well by giving us free cash. At first, I thought the money was going to be a loan. If GiveDirectly can continue the cash transfer in the next villages, it will help them make their own choices to improve their lives"."
