"My goal has been to focus on my academics to succeed and change the condition of my family. Therefore, I continue to receive my transfers, I will be spending it on paying my school fees in time to have adequate time for my studies. In school, I will be able to learn and support myself. Once I succeed in my academic pursuit, I will also focus on raising livestock. The livestock will help me to accumulate assets that will benefit me in the long run."

"Though I am a single mother and the sole provider of four children. I have been living in an old structure that is in a dilapidated condition. I have been longing to build a new spacious house. I, therefore, hope to accomplish my goal of building a new house that will accommodate my four children and me. We always squeeze ourselves into the current small structure that is so uncomfortable to stay in. I am looking food to achieving this before the year ends. I shall be a happy mother once I succeed in that."

"My dream has been to improve the condition of my house. I hate seeing it in that pathetic condition because that subjects me to extreme cold during rainy seasons. My bedding is often rained on, hence I have no option but to either stay awake or use wet bedding when it rains at night. Since I have acquired four iron sheets, I shall work to buy more. Consequently, that will help me in improving my living standard. In addition to accomplishing this, I hope to begin raising goats and hens through poultry farming. These are valuable live assets that will help my family post-transfer periods."

"I commend Give Directly for giving me unconditional cash transfers. The money alleviated the hardships that my family was facing. This cash has transformed individuals’ lives in my community in ways that no one would have anticipated. According to me, there is nothing that the organization would improve on."

"GiveDirectly is an organization that came to empower us and make us feel like the rest of humanity. This is particularly evident in how the transfer allowed me to acquire the property on which I intend to build a home. After my spouse passed away and I had to leave the place where I was married owing to family-related issues, I now reside at my parent's house with my grandchildren. Honestly, I have never noticed any issues with GiveDirectly, and I participate in the organization's initiatives."

"Before I got enrolled in GiveDirectly's transfers, I had begun building a permanent three-roomed house. The current one is mad walled and old hence the need for a better one. It leaks during the rainy seasons, and I hope to renovate it by this year. Monthly, I spend part of the transfer buying cement for that construction. I know that once it is renovated, I shall be able to live in a better place for more than ten years. The current house is mud-walled and unstable. I fear residing in it since it is weak and afraid with heavy rains, it can collapse."

"As a farmer, my source of income is meager, and I have been unable to undertake new projects due to limited funds. My dilapidated house is a constant source of worry, especially with the rainy season approaching. I am at a crossroads on how to fix the leaking roof with the little money that I have. However, my long-term goal is to find a permanent solution to this problem. This would involve purchasing new iron sheets to replace the old ones. I am hopeful that I will be able to achieve this goal soon, and my house will be in a better condition."

"By the end of this year, I hope to improve the condition of my house, which has been my sanctuary for the past five years. My plan is to buy one piece of iron sheet at a time until I have enough to conduct a complete roof makeover. I am concerned about the approaching rainy season and the potential for sleepless nights and damage due to the current state of the roof. Once my house is in good condition, I will be overjoyed."

"Next year, I have several goals that I would like to achieve. First and foremost, I plan to finish building the new room that will provide ample space for my four grandchildren. This way, my house will be able to comfortably accommodate all members of my family. Second, I would like to invest in livestock, particularly goats that can thrive in our harsh climatic conditions. As the goats multiply, I plan to sell some and use the proceeds to support my family's needs"

"Due to my current health condition, it has been difficult for me to provide for my family's essential needs and pay the mounting bills. This year, I have decided to prioritize my well-being, which means I will be using a significant portion of the transfer funds to purchase necessary medicinal drugs and make frequent visits to the hospital for treatment. In addition to taking care of my health, I have also decided to invest some of the funds in livestock. I believe that this will be a profitable future investment, as I can sell the livestock for a good price and earn additional income to support my family's needs. By prioritizing my health and making sound investments, I hope to improve my family's overall well-being and create a more stable future for us."
