"Since I still live in my fathers land, my goal this year was to work hard so that I can buy land to build a house for my family. Accomplishing this means that my family will have somewhere to call home and we will enjoy our privacy as family."

"My goal this year is to focus on educating my children. I believe in education and I know it can change the future of my children. I'm also looking forward to buying more livestock so that I will be selling them once my children joins high school."

"First, I would like to express my gratitude for the financial support that you gave me. It was my first time handling such amount of money. Thank you for uplifting the less fortunate in the village like me, my life and that of my family has changed and we will always strive to move forward and also change the life of others in future."

"I am a teacher and before receiving the transfers, I used to walk for 12 kilometres to and from school everyday. I used to get home tired that I couldn't engage in any productive activity like looking for feed for my cows. When I received the transfers, I thought it was a good idea to buy a motor bike to ease my movement to and from school and also assist in ferrying napier grass for the cows. I spend my my second transfer to purchase a motorbike worth $500 and the balance to buy food for my family. I am so happy that I no longer get home tired and I can do some other activities like fetching water and carrying napier grass from the farm to home for my dairy cows."

"Come next year I would like to do fishing as a full-time job, buy all the equipment needed for fishing and save more for both the family I am taking care of."

"I am a stay-at-home mother, I depend on my husband. He owns a business selling second-hand clothes at the market. In a day he gets $2 as the profit and we spend it on food. I have seven children that I struggle to feed and take to school. Most days I am forced to go to school and talk to the official people to let my children continue with the school as I pay later on the agreed time. We stay in a one-roomed house that is small for the family and this transfer has enabled me to build a new house that is comfortable for the whole family, I spent $300 and used the remaining $240 to buy a cow that will provide milk for the family."

"I would like to own a house. Currently, we live on my fathers in law land and for the longest time my husband and the brothers have been having land disputes. My long-term goal is to save and get land before 2024."

"GiveDirectly does well in supporting other people's dreams. The support helps a lot and I am thankful."

"I would like to own three cows that will help me get milk for both commercial and domestic purposes. Milk is a necessity in our village and if I can get $1000 I can buy the cows and start the journey."

"In my opinion, the processes of enrollment where well explain especial at the meeting by the officers. It was very easy to understand about the project, I just wish it to continue supporting the less fortunate in the society."
