"My desire is to have a substantial livestock herd and a flock of hens. Due to my health status, I am unable to perform labor-intensive jobs, such as selling charcoal, which I used to do previously. This investment would provide me with a new opportunity to become financially independent and cease being overly reliant on my son's support. Generating income would enable me to support myself and attain financial stability. My objective is to have the poultry project operational by the end of the year and be on the correct path towards earning a steady income from it."

"I was caught off guard when my house collapsed unexpectedly. Since then, I have been dedicating all of my financial resources towards building a new house as quickly as possible. To accomplish this, I will need to purchase new iron sheets, building poles, and pieces of timber. I am eagerly looking forward to having a new home where I feel secure and can safeguard my privacy. Rebuilding my home is my top priority, and I hope to achieve this goal by the end of the year."

"My passion for education is unwavering, and I am committed to doing everything within my power to ensure that my children have access to the best possible education. I firmly believe that education is the key to a successful future, and I am convinced that providing my children with an education will offer them greater opportunities than what I am able to provide them with presently. To achieve this goal, I have set my sights on clearing all outstanding school fee balances for my children by the end of this year. I believe that by doing so, my children will be able to study and focus on their education in a stress-free and conducive environment, and as a result, excel in their academic pursuits."

"For the last three years, I had to cease my farming operations due to the insufficient rainfall, which left me with a lot of free time at home, feeling bored and unproductive. However, I invested my initial funds in purchasing livestock such as goats, which are well-suited to withstand the adverse climatic conditions in our area. I am hopeful that I can leverage this opportunity to generate additional income by buying and selling these animals at profitable rates in the market."

"RE " In my opinion, i can not say givedirectly didn't do well for me, because if it was not for givedirectly transfer by this time i would have been blind a man. It is because of givedirectly that i am still see today even after that accident with my eye. When i was rush to the hospital, the doctor told me if I had gone anytime later my eye would have gotten damaged"."

"If it were not for the financial constraints, I would channel every penny from the cash transfers toward securing more livestock. Sadly, the constant hunger and lack of school fees for my six grandchildren derail me from accomplishing this goal. My family’s well-being is the priority. However, in the long run, I wish to be able to fulfill my dream of owning goats and chickens. Having these animals will guarantee me a steady flow of cash even after the transfers cease in the coming years. "

"To be honest, the cash transfers have significantly transformed my family’s welfare over the period. I was able to build a new house for my family and secure goats, all credit to the monthly financial aid. When I got into a motorcycle accident, the same funds helped to pull me out of the medical bill debt at the hospital. As a lay here on the hospital bed with no strength to work, am relieved that my family’s needs are covered through the monthly transfers. More so, I plan to sell some of the livestock I acquired through cash transfers to fully cover my treatment bill. This is what motivates me to invest more through the cash transfers to be guaranteed security, especially during trying times. I wish to have bought more goats in the coming years and beyond. "

"Owning a mud-walled house, I cannot help but worry that someday it may fall from adverse weather conditions like strong winds and heavy rainfalls. To reinforce the walls and prevent such uncertainties, I wish to build a concrete pillar around them. Both my husband and I have no reliable source of income to fund this project; well, except for the monthly cash transfers that we individually benefit from. With the cash aid, we plan to jointly contribute towards the house revamping project. Although it will be quite expensive given the house has three rooms, we hope to complete the exercise in a span of a year. "

"GiveDirectly has done a fantastic job, in my opinion, by offering us limitless financial transfers. It has been really helpful to us. I can confidently say that we have made significant progress since GD came. I haven't noticed anything that the organization is not doing well"

"I built myself a nicer dwelling with a timber wall using £400 of the transfer. I used to live in our one-bedroom mud- walled house with my fast-growing children. Since the kids were getting close to being teenagers, I felt like we needed some privacy as parents, as this wasn't very comfortable. I'm happy that it was successful, and I've left the old house for them while relocating to the new one that I build using GD transfers. They now have ample room to study while also being comfortable. Additionally, I utilized the remaining amount to buy food to feed my family of five."
