"My most recent transfer was used to acquired more building materials. I was able to purchase three(3) bundles of zinc along with ten(10)sheets. I also purchased two(2)cartoons of nail and hired contractors to saw woods for the construction of the new house."

"All my initial transfers were used to facilitate my new construction while the most recent transfer help me to start up a gas business and plank business. The proceeds of the business will be used to transport the builders and also pay the require amount for the successful completion of the new house."

"I am a mother of five(5). Three(3)girls and two(2)boys including my husband. My husband work as a daily contractor just to provide our daily meal and we are currently residing in my father-in-law house. We got enrolled into Givedirectly unconditional cash transfer program and started receiving transfer. My husband and I decided to engage into business and build a house on our own. Our first and second transfer was deposited as partial payment toward a brand new motorcycle which the recent transfer was used to complete the payment and we got one bundle of zinc with the balance portion of the recent transfer. My husband is presently running commercial bike to help with the family needs as well as purchase additional building materials as we await our final transfer which will be use for similar purpose."

"My intention is to have a much bigger cocoa farm which I am alread working toward.I am hoping that in this coming year, I will complete larger portion of my farm and to some extent starts to benefit from the proceed in order to improve my life."

"In the coming year and beyond, My goal is to transition from thatched house to zinc house where I wouldn't have to bother changing the roof every year neither will I worry about leakages during rainy season time. It has been my long time desire to build a better house and fulfilling such dream is in this coming year will be regarded as a accomplishment."

"What GiveDirectly does well is offering excellent service to their recipients. All the way from enrollment to receiving the final transfer, the process was very smooth, transparent and their officers were very kind and patient with us."

"What GiveDirectly does well is uplifting the poor through the unconditional cash transfers. Before we received the transfer, most people were living in muddy houses and had no livestock. Right now, the change in the village is very evident that these transfers have changed lives of many. May you continue doing the great work that you always do."

"I am a father of one child and I have an industrious wife who always helps me in decision making. The moment I received my transfer, I sat down with my wife and we made an agreement that we needed to build a new house. Our old muddy house could no longer contain us and it was really giving me and my family self esteem issues. Before the transfers, we bought building stones and land but we had no money to pay for labour and not even enough to start the foundation. The moment I received my transfers, I made an agreement not to spend the transfers on anything else apart from fully investing it in my home construction. I started the foundation of my home and the second transfer was also used to complete my house. At least now I have a place to call home and I am really one happy man who can now confidently interact with everyone in my village."

"I was living in an old hut that I have always wished to renovate but the other financial obligations I had could not allow when I received the first transfer. Upon receiving the second transfer, I spent $260 on buying construction materials that include 14 iron sheets, gravel, wood, and also paid the labor charges. I also spent $12 on paying school fees for my two children currently in primary school. Even though I have driving skills, I have been dependent on subsistence farming whose surplus has been useful in settling other household bills. I later bought a dairy cow at $14 that I hope to provide us with enough milk when it calves. I am grateful for the timely generous support when I was at the verge of selling part of my land to use in building a new house."

"With the land I bought, I was able to plant and I believe that what I harvest will be big. Since I can't consume everything I have planted, I will be able to sell some so that it can easily help me in settling my daily expenses and help in bettering my tomorrow."
