"As soon as I have some money, my current goal is to build a house for my son. Now that I have the building supplies, my goal is to secure the labor costs so that the work may start. I have faith that I will be able to accomplish my aim through the little enterprises I run. Not only will this make me happy, but it will also give my son the confidence he needs to live on his own."

"In my humble view, GiveDirectly is a perfect organization. The organization arrived to give the locals greater power. Most of the families with children in our region have returned to school after having stopped due to school costs. GiveDirectly is the reason they are going back to school. Soberly, I have to acknowledge that GiveDirectly is a significant organization."

"My two secondary school-aged sons' outstanding $180 in school fees needed to be paid as soon as I got the second transfer. They are content right now because they are now settled and focusing on their schoolwork. After that, I decided to renovate my mud-walled house into a block-walled one. I made this choice because I wanted a permanent dwelling for security reasons and since the house I had was not just about to collapse. I spent $200 on some construction supplies, including cement and building bricks, to accomplish this. The materials cost me $300 in total, so I decided to keep them rather than start the remodeling because it might put a strain on my finances. I stocked up on food for my family using the remaining funds."

"I'm going to purchase some land as my next step. Building a home is the purpose of purchasing the property. I am currently living with my parents after divorcing my husband. Based on that, my eight children won't feel cherished or at home at their grands' homestead while I'm gone because I left my marriage with them. So, if I get some money, I'll buy a plot that will be a resource for them and a home that they will be eligible to inherit."

"Currently, I have a pending goal that I aim to accomplish. After completing my house, there are some areas in which I postponed due to a shortage of finance. Once I get some money, I will buy three doors for the three rooms, plaster the inside part of my house, and also do flooring."

"I have plans to expand my business into a bigger enterprise that will serve at least three more villages by the end of this year. To achieve this goal, I am currently searching for a larger business premise to sell my products from. Expanding my business means I will have more customers and, in turn, more income. This will make me financially stable and able to meet my family's needs. I am thankful for the financial boost from the organization that has helped me improve my life and escape poverty."

"With my passion for design, I am very eager and happy to get back to what I enjoy doing best, which is making clothes and doing anything else related to that. So my goal now and in the future is to fully concentrate on tailoring, which entails making new garments and repairing clothes, particularly for children who are in school. Although I do not yet have an actual business shop, I will begin by taking orders at home, and the good part is that we now have enough space for the time being."

"Due to the harsh weather conditions, the farm that has been my primary source of income is no longer productive. As a result, I am seeking a new and stable source of income. I am considering venturing into the livestock rearing and selling business as an alternative source of income. This would involve buying young goats at a lower price and selling them for a higher price in the market. I am optimistic that the monthly transfers I receive can be used wisely to invest in this new venture. With careful planning and smart investments, I believe I can successfully build a profitable business. Ultimately, this new income stream will provide a greater level of financial stability for myself and my family"

"I'm hoping to expand my business to another level. I intend to sell gas . For this reason, I'm trying everything possible to generate more funds to enhance the process."

"One thing I would like for Givedirectly to do differently is to consider either of the spouses for interview during the follow up survey, because most of the time, one of the spouses can be available and the other, who is not the primary recipient, is present and the interview can't be held."
