"The most significant difference in my daily life is that I was able to construct a decent house. I could have built it sooner, but due to financial constraints, I was unable to do so. I am overjoyed that I have finally accomplished my goal. Second, I am pleased and satisfied that I was able to purchase enough food for the house, which means that we will no longer be able to sleep on an empty stomach. I will be eternally grateful for the wonderful gift that transformed my life."

"I recall the day I got my transfer. I was at home when I overheard my neighbours discussing the receipt of their initial transfer, so I returned home. I quickly grabbed my phone and checked my phone. On my screen, I saw a text message confirming that I had also received my share. I couldn't keep the good news from my wife, so I called her and told her, and she was overjoyed. She knew she'd be able to fulfil her dream of owning a dairy cow. I am overwhelmed by your generosity."

"I hope to buy land in Zwedru city and build on it for my family"

"In the coming year and beyond, I wish to connect tap water and purchase additional water tanks for my family. This will enable me to achieve my dream of starting a water business in the village a reliable source of income for the family. This will make me abandon the charcoal-burning activity which is energy-draining and characterised by low income."

"I invested a larger part of the transfers in boosting my livestock rearing. This is because I had desired to improve it to be more stable to support our needs without much struggle. I spent $ 325 to purchase one cow, three goats, 2 turkeys, and 8 chickens. This is a long-term investment for the family that will help us whenever face a financial crisis in the future. Similarly, I bought various veterinary medicine for the livestock for treatment when they get diseases. In addition, I intend to use the remaining amount to acquire food and clothing for my wife and children."

"I spend my recent money on buying cement for my house"

"I hope to build my house this year."

"I hope to start doing a business to enable me to take good care of my family."

"I'm hoping of accomplishing a new house in the coming year that I dream to have in my life. Givedirectly transfer has impacted in life a lot. I'm grateful to them for their good job."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in giving unconditional cash transfers to poor households. In addition, the frequent follow-up after every transfer helped us to realize our ambitions. I feel the different enrollment stages were well explained during the community meeting and were easy to understand. Hence, there is nothing I feel they should improve on their processes."
