"I was really happy and over excited when I saw my transfer in my phone, tears of joy came from my eyes."

"I spent my most recent transferred on purchasing 2 bundles of zinc to have my house well constructed for my family."

"I hope to accomplish the completion of the renovation of my house and an establishment of a sustainable businesses."

"I spent my most recent transferred on buying two bundles of zinc for the construction of my new house."

"I have not cash out my transfer, therefore I have not spent my most recent transfer."

"It was amazing, it was in the morning time, I was just walking around my yard, I heard the loud noise from the citizenry of my town, I went there and find out that GiveDirectly transfer has finally arrived, I immediately check my mobile account, I also my transfer, it was just unbelievable."

"My most recent transfer has not been speent, is right here save with me. I am keeping it untill the next transfer come."

"The transfers from GiveDirectly have been very beneficial to my family. For the past year, I have been spending my transfers on food and supporting my children's education. In addition, I had initiated building a new house with part of the transfer. So I need three iron sheets to complete it. My primary goal is to prioritize completing building that house. That will help me to live in a better house unlike the previous one whose roofing was too old. In addition, because we are facing a serious famine, my other goal for this year is to continue using part of the transfer to help obtain food for my family of eight members since I only do charcoal selling business which is of low earning. I am grateful for the financial support from GiveDirectly."

"I've been setting aside $10 from each transfer for the past year. I want to open a store that sells food in the coming year. The residents of our village must travel long distances to buy food because there are few stores. I intend to launch the business that will enable me to earn a respectable amount of income to provide for my family by taking out a loan that is three times the amount of savings I have. Ever since I lost my job in home construction, life has been difficult. My low income and tedious temporary job selling charcoal prevent me from providing for all of my family's needs. Starting this business will help me improve my life."
