"Supporting the education of my seven children is my priority right now. I would be happy if I could have the capacity to see them through primary school, secondary school, and college. In fact, one of them is set to join high school next month and my goal is to ensure he is well-settled. "

"Around 3:00 PM, I received a message from GiveDirectly that I was not expecting. I was with my spouse, whom I immediately informed because I was overjoyed and could not hide it. We had to check our account balance to make sure the information we read in the text was correct. My husband was equally excited, and we began planning the withdrawal point because most of the nearby mobile shops were crowded."

"Once I am done building my house, I am planning to save some money from burning and selling charcoal so that I can set up a local green groceries shop. Achieving this means that I will be earning more money besides selling charcoal and therefore, I will be able to help my husband with family responsibilities and take my children to better schools."

"I spend my recent money on my farming."

"I spend my recent money on buying zinc and paying my children's school fees."

"I spend my recent money on building my house and bought my motorbike."

"I hope to continue making my farm so that my family will not suffer."

"When I got the second transfer, I used part of the transfers for my farming activities, which had always been our primary source of income. With my 10 children, I believe that improved farming will ensure food security while providing a source of income from surplus produce as well as get enough to educate my children in the future. I also bought 4 goats and 2 cows for $420 to help with an extra source of income. I had been purchasing milk, and hopefully, as they mature, I will be able to reduce my purchasing costs and instead produce enough to sell the surplus. I also chip in to pay my brother's son's fees arrears since he had been sent back home to collect fees. I am glad that I was able to lend a hand hence improving the relationship between me and my brother. The remaining amount I spent on foodstuff to feed my family of 12 people hence improved health due to good eating habits"

"As the family breadwinner and a father of ten, my desired accomplishment in the coming years is to ensure that the family got a good education, that is, to educate them to a point they complete their college education so that they have their own career path to sustain them in the future. I am planning to achieve this by ensuring that I continue with farming which is currently our primary source of income among casual painting jobs which is very unreliable. I am currently providing strong support to farming in order to ensure the mass production of short-season crops such as beans, vegetables, and Irish potatoes. These are not only for our own consumption, but we will also sell the surplus to generate income. In the long run, I believe the savings from farming activities will be useful in purchasing more cows to add to my current number of cattle. As a result, I would be able to sell some to generate fees for my children. I am also looking forward to buying a plot on a budget of $600 in the next 5 years so that I can build enough rooms for my 10 children, it is good to have female and male children share the same sleeping room due to the need to have privacy. Girls and boys having their own separate rooms will in turn boost their self-esteem as well privacy will be enhanced."

"RE " In my opinion, givedirectly is doing well for us here. Because for a long period of time we have been wanting to building a new house, but we could not afford the cost. All thanks to givedirectly it is now possible "."
