"I have been sleeping on a mat for about two years now and the house i am staying in is old and doesn't have a proper roofing wherein it leaks when rain falls and the rain also flashes in the house therefore, i spent my most recent transfer on buying mattress and completing my house."

"GiveDirectly has done so well that i am able do things(pay my fees, cater to my family , etc) that i couldnt do which has boost my morale to a certain extent."

"Feeding my family is one of my paramount concern therefore, instead of spending extra money for food i would want to start a farm that will support my family in terms of feeding."

"want to see myself as a business woman who will always have the opportunity of having cash with me so as to be able to cater to my family at any point in time."

"I have decided to renovate my house and buy a mattress with my most recent transfer as my house is very old and the zinc have holes in them thereby making it to leak when ever rain falls while my children mattress was very old and small,the three of them barely fitted on it."

"I am living in a family house that is almost broken down and none of the occupants wants to help renovate it i now therefore decided to use my most recent transfer in building my own comfortable space."

"Since I've known myself there has never been a time when i was given a grant in the tune of what i am getting from GD, this is an awesome feeling and i hope and pray that GD continues their philantropic work."

"GiveDirectly cash transfer program is a very good program and they are doing well at it, imagine, a widow like me being able to build a house for herself all because GiveDirectly has given me the opportunity to do so."

"I want to spend this transfer on the house project, I hire chainsaw operator to produce planks for the house."

"My plan for the transfer is because I have not withdrawn it yet, I want to buy a one-acre piece of land. I already talked to the seller before and he agreed to sell at $350. The aim of buying the piece of land is to build my home. Currently, I stay at my parent's home after being separated from my husband nine years ago. Based on that, my four children will not be comfortable nor valued at their grands' homestead in my absence since I moved out of my marriage with them. Therefore this plot will be an asset to them, a property that they have the right to inherit. In addition to that, I have three goats and I aim to buy another three to have a good number of goats that will serve as an investment. Since I have been over-relying on charcoal burning for the last 30 years, I am now exhausted. I am thinking of a business that I will start so that I can have an income-generating activity to enable me to provide for my family."
