"It is clearly evident that my life has been impacted greatly by the support that I got from GiveDirectly. Everything went on smoothly just the way I had anticipated. I am forever grateful for the support that rescued us when we had nothing on our plates."

"I always had a vision of setting up a tailoring business which was revived because of the unconditional support from GiveDirectly's cash. Soon as I'm done paying for the sewing machine, I can operate my business and earn extra cash. I am forever thankful for this support which gives birth to me earning an extra income."

"My heart has desired to start a poultry business. This proved a challenge before due to financial constraints. It's usually expensive to transport the chicken to the market especially since I live by myself, with no one to help me. Upon receiving my cash transfer, I spent $140 on buying building materials to set up a poultry house. I also spent an extra $50 to boost my existing business to gain more returns. I feel the cash transfer has uplifted a heavy burden off my shoulder and thus very grateful."

"I was at my home relaxing after having worked long hours in the hot sun. My son hurriedly came back home jovial and excited and I asked why he was in such a good mood. That's when he broke the good news of the cash transfers having been sent. We had waited for this for a while. I was elated with joy as this good news meant I would finally accomplish my goals. At this moment, we embarked on a plan of how to spend the money."

"The greatest difference now is the fact that I'll get to buy barbed wire to fence my land and avoid trespassing by intruders. I wasn't able to fence before due to a lack of money, and I'm excited that I finally I've achieved this dream. I'm glad too that I managed to pay for my motorcycle. I'm forever indebted for the amazing gift from GiveDirectly."

"The biggest problem difference has been that I was able to save up some money to buy sufficient foodstuff to cater for my family. I am happy to say that neither I nor my family goes to bed on an empty stomach. My life has been transformed for the better and I'm thankful for the support."

"I was busy at home doing my house chores when I received my cash transfers. I was engaged when I suddenly heard my phone buzz with a text message. I checked to find a text message from Segovia Technologies alerting me that I had received $200 from GiveDirectly. I was super excited and overjoyed by the news. I knew instantly I'll get to fulfil my goals."

"I am grateful to GiveDirectly because through the transfer, I have been able to purchase a goat every month since last year August. This has been my main objective, and so far I have four which I acquired through the transfers. My plan is to buy more goats which is a security for the future of my children's education. The goats will reproduce and increase in number, and have many of them.I have three children in school and I am expecting to sell the goats in future for their education. I do not have any source of income and I believe raising the goats will help me raise fees for them."

"I greatly appreciate GiveDirectly for giving me the transfers which have changed my life. I am a widow and lost my husband when I did not have anything to depend on for livelihood. He was the breadwinner and since then, life has been difficult with my six children who are all in school. Raising fees for them has been my biggest challenge, and my dream is to see them excel and achieve their career goals. My goal now is to ensure that I pay their fees on time every month to avoid interruptions on their studies concerning fees."
