"I wish that all my children could go through school to the end and though my oldest dropped out I hope to ensure that the younger ones will not be lost. My plan is to spend my transfers educating my children. I would want for each of them to finish their primary and Secondary school. I also want to invest in a few animals which I plan to rear and I can sell them in times of need especially with school."

"I used to think of dreaming as a pursuit of the ric but now I would county myself a dreamer. I have 30 chicken which I sell and buy as well as breed. I plan on increasing this numbers by much more. I also plan on starting a shop. When the chicken are many I can sell as significant number and buy goats which I can breed and sell off to have money and start a retail shop business for general household items."

"I am now working towards my goal this year of having a new three room, tin roofed house. I will need about 30 sheets and I have already gotten 20 sheets. I have savings in my savings group that will enable me to take a loan that will go into paying for the mason who will help with the house. I anticipate that by September the house will be almost done. I will have more room as my children will have somewhere to sleep, we will also have a room with my wife and an area to entertain guests. We will no longer be sharing the house with our children which will some privacy for my wife and I as our children as growing up. Givedirectly have allowed us to live in dignity."

"In the years ahead, my biggest dream is to keep studying until I finish in 2026. This makes me very happy. I feel proud and hopeful about my future. Every step I take toward graduation fills us with joy. I want to make myself happier by achieving my goal. So, I'll keep working hard and studying until I reach that special day in 2026 when I become a graduate."

"Receiving the transfers marked a pivotal moment for my family. Primarily, I directed $145 towards my daughters' education, ensuring they have the necessary resources for their academic pursuits. Additionally, I invested $20 in a fruit business and $40 in maize seeds, diversifying our income streams and securing a sustainable food source. I also allocated $40 for a bag of maize, ensuring food security for my family of five, and $80 for bedding, prioritizing our comfort. Moreover, I invested $25 in a goat, viewing it as a valuable asset for potential income generation. The remaining funds were used to fulfill any outstanding school requirements for my children. Previously reliant on charcoal burning, the transfers enabled me to explore more reliable income avenues, fostering empowerment and growth. I am grateful for the support and excited about the prospect of a brighter future for my family."

"I am immensely grateful to GiveDirectly for the transformative impact their unconditional transfers have had on my family's life. Thanks to their support, I have been able to acquire assets such as a goat, which I never imagined would be possible. This newfound ownership not only provides us with additional income but also a sense of stability for the future. Moreover, the assistance has enabled my children to attend school regularly, opening up opportunities for their education and future prospects. Witnessing the positive changes in my family's life fills me with joy and gratitude. In all aspects, everything is going smoothly, and I believe GiveDirectly's approach is highly effective. The autonomy given to recipients allows us to address our most pressing needs and make decisions that best suit our circumstances. As a result, our family is elated by the positive changes we have experienced. Overall, I am immensely thankful to GiveDirectly for their support, and I hope their approach continues to uplift and empower families like mine in the future."

"In the next year, my goal is to plant mango trees in the kitchen garden that I fenced using the transfers. I aim to grow up to 20 trees, which will serve as a source of income for my family of five. To accomplish this project, I estimate that I will need $50. To raise the necessary funds, I plan to sell some of my goats. By reallocating assets from one venture to another, I can invest in a sustainable, long-term opportunity for generating income. Planting mango trees not only offers the potential for future earnings but also contributes to the overall sustainability and resilience of our household. As the trees mature, they will provide a steady supply of fruit, which can be sold or consumed, thus enhancing our financial stability and food security. I am excited about the prospects of this project and remain committed to its success. I am confident that planting mango trees will be a worthwhile investment for the future well-being of my family."

"I have personally experienced the transformative impact of GiveDirectly's transfers, and I have witnessed how it has uplifted lives within our community. The support provided has boosted businesses and improved the overall health and well-being of individuals and families. For my own family of four, the financial uplift has been significant. We are in a better position now compared to where we were before receiving the transfers. This support has enabled us to pursue opportunities for growth and stability that were previously out of reach. So far, I believe that GiveDirectly's approach is effective and does not require any changes. The transfers have been instrumental in bringing about positive change, and everything seems to be working well. I am grateful for the support we have received, and I am optimistic about the future thanks to GiveDirectly's continued assistance."

"GiveDirectly's assistance has truly made a difference in my life and the lives of my family. Personally, I have been able to acquire assets and ensure food security for our family of six, which would have been difficult without their support. Everything is going well with their approach, and I do not feel there is a need for any changes. Instead, I believe their model should be replicated elsewhere to help more people like me who are in need of assistance. The flexibility and autonomy provided by GiveDirectly's unconditional cash transfers have allowed us to address our most pressing needs and make decisions that are best for our family's well-being. I am grateful for the support we have received and hopeful that others can benefit from similar programs in the future."

"I appreciate the autonomy that GiveDirectly's approach to unconditional cash transfers provides to individuals within the community. By allowing recipients to decide how to utilize the transfers based on their own priorities and needs, this approach ensures that the assistance is tailored to the specific circumstances of each individual or family. While the current transfers have undoubtedly made a significant impact on many lives, I agree that additional transfers could further enhance the positive outcomes experienced by the community. By providing ongoing support or additional transfers, GiveDirectly could continue to address the evolving needs of individuals and families over time. Expanding the range or frequency of transfers could enable recipients to pursue not only immediate needs but also longer-term goals, such as investing in education, starting small businesses, or improving housing conditions. This could contribute to sustained improvements in overall well-being and economic stability within the community. Overall, while the current approach of unconditional cash transfers is commendable, I believe that exploring opportunities to provide additional support or transfers could further amplify the positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in the community."
