But now, with my own business, I'm relieved from the strainous job and not exposed to those dangers anymore, making life safer and more secure for me and my family."

"The most remarkable aspect of GiveDirectly's support is undoubtedly the concept of Unconditional Cash Transfers. The freedom to allocate funds according to my family's specific requirements has been a shake-up. Moreover, the selection process implemented by GiveDirectly was impressively discreet. The officers involved conducted themselves with such professionalism and confidentiality that the criteria for selection remained undisclosed. This level of privacy was instrumental in minimizing the risk of imposters, ensuring that the aid reached its intended recipients. In fact, the proficiency and integrity displayed by GiveDirectly's team were so remarkable. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to GiveDirectly. I urge you to maintain this incredible spirit of giving and the respectful, efficient manner in which you operate. Your model provides financial assistance, upholds the dignity, and respects the autonomy of each recipient, which is, in many ways, just as valuable."

"Engaging in strenuous casual work has been my means of making a living, particularly to offset the seasonal and unpredictable income from my farming, susceptible to the changing weather patterns prevalent in our region. This job is very involving, frequently leaving me exhausted after each rigorous day. . As I look ahead to the coming year and beyond, a sense of optimism drives my plan to establish a shop business within the village. I see this as a strategic move towards securing a more stable livelihood, bringing a welcome shift from the challenges of my current circumstances. In envisioning this business venture, I anticipate that the goats I am planning to acquire will play a crucial role. Their rapid multiplication is expected to provide a valuable source of income, as I plan to sell some and utilize the proceeds as initial capital for starting the shop. This endeavor is not merely about income generation; it represents a pursuit of a sustainable livelihood, allowing me to transition away from the physically demanding nature of casual work."
