"I like it when I get visits from the organization, it shows that they care for me. During our first encounter, they introduced the organization well, I got to learn a lot and up to now I use the teaching daily. The other thing I do think that the organization is not doing well is, the phone they give me is faulty, I received mine but the buttons were not working and I have been struggling to use it."

"My wife has epilepsy which has made me the primary provider of the family. She cannot get any employment because of her condition. I spent the first transfer to buy a motorbike that has been helping me with an income. I spent the second transfer to purchase ten goats at $420. The goat produces milk that I sell at $1 a liter. The money from the milk business helps to buy food for my five children who are in school. The other two are young and they have not started school. The other income from the motorbike business is used to pay school fees for them. Receiving this money has helped me save money for the future and buy food without strain."

"GiveDirectly hotline number has been helpful. Most days when I have not received my transfer, I call and I always get a response. The number is free and I do not need to use my money."

"The first meeting that was held was helpful, we were advised on how to guard the money and also how to use it wisely. They also helped us understand where the money was coming from. The meeting was informative."

"I like it when I get calls from GiveDirectly. It makes me see that Give directly values me. I also enjoy visits from the staff and I get to pour out my heart to them which is therapeutic to me."

"I was relaxing under my shade out side the house after taking my drugs. For a year, I have been struggling with ears and sight problem. It was around 5 pm when I heard joyful noise from neighbors that they had receive the transfers. I gave the phone to helper who confirmed that I had received the transfer. I was delighted for receiving the transfer and thank the organization for the aid since was sure that our life would change for the better."

"My poultry farm, which had more than 67 hens, failed at the end of last year. A strange illness that affected the hens caused them all to die. My attempts to save the situation were unsuccessful because all of the hens passed away within a two-week period. This year, I want to dedicate all of my time and effort to raising livestock, such as goats. I want to build up a sizable flock of goats by the end of the year, which will increase my initial investment. The choice of livestock is influenced by the severe weather we are currently having as well as the accessibility of medications that can be given to the animals in the event that a disease outbreak occurs. I'm crossing my fingers that this will work out as I search for a reliable source of income to support my family."

"My long-term objective has been to increase our household income so that we can give our kids the ideal possible life. My parents passed away before I could finish my secondary education, thus there was no one to pay for my college expenses. I have so far purchased 25 hens that I am raising as a form of future investment in order to make sure that my kids have the best possible education. For the next three months, as I have not yet attained my aim, I'm going to buy more of them. In addition, I joined a savings group wherein the fifteen of us each save $2 per month and alternately distribute it to one person each month. I do buy a goat for rearing every time I get my shares, and I still intend to keep saving and buy more goats whenever I get transfers for the next three months. They multiply every year, enhancing their profitability. The addition of the goats to the hens is a wise investment, and I'm hoping that the money I'll generate from them will allow me to easily meet my children's needs, particularly their educational needs."
