"In the upcoming year and beyond, my sights are set on a new chapter—a vegetable-selling business. Farming has been the backbone of our income, but it's demanding and yields low returns. Transitioning to selling vegetables allows me to diversify while still contributing to the community. The income from this venture is more than monetary; it's about securing a future where my family's needs are met without constant strain. I see this as a way to offer them stability and opportunities, lifting some weight off their shoulders while pursuing a passion that aligns with our livelihood."

"My main aspiration is to acquire a dairy cow. This isn't just about owning livestock; it's about securing a means to provide for my family. With the cow, I envision a dual-purpose advantage: not only will it supply milk for selling, generating income to pay for my children's education, but it will also enhance our household's health by providing fresh, nutritious milk for domestic consumption. I believe that investing in this cow isn't just an investment in a single animal; it's an investment in the well-being and future of my children. I'm motivated to make this happen, knowing it will contribute to their education and health, creating a more promising future for us all."

"Your commendable approach of providing direct cash and ensuring follow-ups has truly impressed me. I would like your organization to expand its impact by getting into space of agricultural support. Specifically, providing agricultural furniture and inputs could contribute to sustainable development"

"My primary objective is to enhance my financial stability by diversifying my income streams. Recognizing the inadequacy of relying solely on one source of income to support my family, I have decided to venture into the lucrative livestock business, with a particular focus on goats, given their profitability in my local area. I am pleased to report that I have already started the acquisition of goats, and the forthcoming transfers will be allocated to expanding this venture. This additional source of income promises significant benefits for my family, giving me the peace of mind that I can adequately provide for their needs."

"The entry of GiveDirectly into our village has prompted significant changes, motivating everyone to take steps toward improving their living standards. It is now evident that people grasp the importance of this support, a contrast to the initial reception where some were flagged for misuse. The support has ignited a multitude of business ideas among villagers. I express hope that GiveDirectly maintains this effective approach and extends its assistance to people in other villages, fostering positive transformations and empowering communities beyond our own."

"My primary goal for the upcoming year is to build a quality house that provides safety and ample space for my family, ensuring a comfortable living environment, as our current one is small. To achieve this ambition, I plan to utilize my third transfer. I am confident that with dedication and hard work, this vision can be successfully realized."

"The support extended by GiveDirectly has not only significantly improved our quality of life but has also brought about a profound and positive transformation. The program's unconditional approach allowed us the flexibility to allocate the funds according to our specific needs, providing a sense of empowerment. We are immensely grateful for the constructive influence this support has had on our lives. From my personal perspective, I have not identified any shortcomings in the program's implementation, and we look forward to the continued positive impact on our well-being."

"My husband and I are now in our advanced age and with our children all grown, we find ourselves dependent on them and engaged in small-scale poultry keeping for our livelihood. As we are no longer able to work or tend to the farm, we are grateful for the support of our children. Upon receiving my transfer, my husband and I decided to invest it in fencing our land. This decision was aimed at providing us with better protection from wild animals and allowing us to rear goats without the fear of crop destruction. We used $200 for this purpose. Additionally, I purchased 2 sacks of maize for $65, and the remaining amount was wisely spent on essential food items such as sugar, milk, and cooking oil. The assurance of having enough food in our home brings us immense happiness, a positive change from the past, and for this, we are truly grateful."

"My aspiration is to launch a wholesale milk business, a venture that has been hindered by financial constraints due to various household responsibilities. However, with the support of my third transfer, I am determined to turn this goal into a reality. The funds will be strategically invested to kickstart the business, enabling me to overcome past challenges and transform my life positively. I am optimistic about the impact this endeavor will have on my family's financial stability and look forward to the journey ahead."

"GiveDirectly does well in empowering individuals of all ages within the community. The unconditional nature of the transfer provided the flexibility to allocate funds to areas of greater importance to us. Furthermore, the community sensitization efforts had a significant impact, enhancing our awareness and vigilance against potential fraud. Overall, everything was satisfactory, and I did not identify specific areas that needed improvement."
