"I have a big piece of land that I always cultivate but it had been more costly for me since I always hire livestock(cows)from a friend at a higher fee to help me with the land cultivation. But in the next one year, I would want to have my own two cows to help me with the cultivation work and one dairy cow as well believing that the profits I would be getting from selling the milk would be of great help in terms of fending for my family. And to achieve this, I would continue saving part of my monthly transfers to a certain amount that would be enough for the purchase of the livestock"

"I would like to buy a mattress for myself. My current mattress is so old and is totally worn out you can feel the ground. It is so uncomfortable to sleep on this mattress due to this issue. I want to make sure that when I get some money I can buy a new mattress at $36. I also want to add another room to my house. My house is currently one roomed. My wish is when I get money i may buy iron sheets, at least 2 sheets when I can, so I can add that room. I want to buy goats too when things get better. If my husbands gets jobs at a better rate, It will take care of the needs at home and so I can buy goats and chicken."

"I used 20,000LD to purchase 8 bags of cement for my house renovation process. I also spent 3000LD on white paint to beautify the house and the rest of the money was kept for the plastering workmanship and upkeep. I am grateful to GiveDirectly because the money they sent me has transformed my old house to a new one. I decided to use the money on my house because the mud was falling off and it was looking ugly and unpleasant. My friends had no respect for me because I was living in an old house; but I now have good face and respect in my community."

"I hope to continue doing my business to enable me continue my schooling.I am a student and I was really finding it hard to go to school,but with the help of give-directly my life has changed."

"I hope to make bigger farms to continue to survive."

"Give-directly did well by giving me money to build my house and paid my brother school fees."

"Knowing that my Children are graduating from high school will be my biggest accomplishment because I have struggled with this for some time now. It will be a great joy having my children out of high school. The pressure on my shoulders will reduce and I will be the happiest man on earth."

"Sleeping under my new roof will be the biggest accomplishment of my life. This will be a positive turn-around for me and my family. It'll make me so happy and accomplished because every man needs to show something good he did for himself and GiveDirectly helping me achieve this dream is a blessing. I wouldn't have to worry about getting on top my thatched roof to always patch and as I patch one place, the other leaks; that worried me a lot. I wouldn't have to spend small small money on buying drugs for either eyes problem from the smoke or pills for cough. My children won't get sick as much as before because.our main problem would be solved. I just can't wait!"

"RE " In my opinion, Givedirectly is doing well because they are giving us money which is greatly helping us. I will advise givedirectly to remain on this path because it's a good one "."
