"Providing my child with a quality education is a top priority for me. The challenges I faced during childbirth have heightened my determination to ensure the best possible future for my child. I want to offer him an opportunity to receive a good education, empowering him to pursue his dreams and achieve his potential. I believe that education is a powerful tool that can open doors to a world of opportunities, and I am dedicated to making the necessary investments to support their learning journey. Beyond education, I also aspire to establish a stable and reliable source of income for my family through business, though I have not yet settled on the type of business I actually want, I am doing background checks to see the most suitable one. By generating a sustainable income, I aim to create a comfortable environment where my family can thrive. In this pursuit, my ultimate goal is to create a better life for my child and my family. Through hard work, dedication, and the support of initiatives like GiveDirectly, I am committed to realizing these aspirations and building a future filled with hope and opportunities for my loved ones."

"In the coming year,my main priority is getting my daughter a sewing machine and setting up a shop for her. This will enable her utilize her tailoring skills to better her life as well as ours .Her financial stability and independence would make me extremely happy. To reach that objective, I shall apply for a loan from the Sacco I have been saving with."

"I support all your workings and don't have any complaints, you wish others the best. Therefore I pray you continue working."

"I'm just grateful for give directly, it helped me so much. It has never happened to me. I pray for blessings so give directly to continue working in the future. There's nothing to change in the process."

"In the upcoming year and beyond, my goal is to secure additional funds to pursue subsistence farming. Despite residing in an Arid and Semi-Arid Land, I aspire to lease land in a more favorable region, such as the adjacent highlands of Muchongoi. The early months of next year seem ideal for this endeavor, coinciding with my ongoing involvement in an informal savings group where I contribute $35 monthly. This group not only grants access to loans but also provides dividends at the conclusion of a six-month cycle, which I am appreciative of."

"I appreciate GiveDirectly's approach of providing unconditional free cash transfers, allowing individuals within households to independently plan how to use the funds. The opportunity to make choices about spending has been invaluable, and the equitable amounts deposited directly into our accounts have made a significant impact in addressing our diverse challenges. From my perspective, the process has been seamless, and I don't see any areas that require improvement. However, my hope is that this kind of support could extend to every individual in the wider community, benefiting others just as it has benefited us."
