enrolled.
"The main challenge I'm facing is that I don't have enough land to cultivate so that I can grow food crops,I have a small piece of land and it can't produce enough, I can't rely only on it for feeding me. The other challenge is that there is one part of the roof which is damaged and when it rains, the rain pass through and reach in the house."

"Tha main challenge I am facing is is poverty because I don't have money, even to pay for health insurance, I have to go to cultivate for others. The other challenge is that it is not easy for me to afford manure to use in agriculture hence the low production."

Tsozi
received a $28 sixteenth payment.
"My top priority is to use a significant portion of my transfer money to repair my house because of its current poor condition. For the purpose of repairing the roof, I intend to buy iron sheets because they are more robust. I will purchase cement, sand, and a few stones to use in the construction of sturdy walls to reinforce the mud walls. I'll feel more secure knowing that my property is secure if I have a good house. The house will be warmer than it was before, which will also benefit my health."

received a $239 second payment.
"RE " For the fact that givedirectly is giving us cash is very pleasing to me.
In my opinion i haven't seen givedirectly doing anything wrong.
I used to be very slim in this town, but now because of givedirectly transfer i am now a fat person because am satisfied since am now sure of leaving my damage house to a new one through the cash transfer of givedirectly.
And most importantly i can now afford my needs without much of a struggle, therefore am most grateful for givedirectly "."
