"The financial boost provided by GiveDirectly has made a positive impact in our village. It is especially noteworthy that the household transfers have helped to minimize quarrels and disagreements that would have risen over sharing communal money. This approach has ensured that everyone in the village receives an equal share of the assistance, which is a fair and equitable way to distribute resources. However, I there is a concerns about the youth in our community who were not part of the target group. It is my wish that the organization would involve the younger generation since they represent the future of the community. Engaging and empowering the youth will enable them to bring about positive change and contribute to the long-term growth and development of the village. It would be great to see GiveDirectly involve the youth in their programs and initiatives, as this would not only benefit them but the community as a whole."

"Education is a matter that is deeply important to me, and I am of the opinion that ensuring my children receive an education is the most significant investment I can make in their future. It is my desire that they acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue their careers successfully. To that end, my goal is to invest a substantial portion of my monthly stipend towards paying their school fees. By doing so, I believe they will be equipped to attract gainful employment, which will guarantee a bright future for themselves, as well as the ability to support me in my old age. This year and beyond, I will prioritize their education by investing in it."

"I remember being at work, fully engaged in my daily tasks when I received the transfer notification on my phone. The moment I read the message from GiveDirectly, I was filled with immense joy because I knew that I could now pursue my aspirations. Excitedly, I shared the good news with my wife, who was equally relieved and grateful. Together, we began to plan for the future with renewed hope and optimism."

"Acquiring a dairy cow has made the most significant impact on my daily life. It has enabled me to save money that I used to spend daily and has provided me with a reliable source of milk. With the funds from the transfer, I was also able to purchase enough food for my household and settle a long-pending debt. Moreover, I am hopeful that the second transfer will enable me to further my education. I am delighted and grateful for the support that has brought so much happiness to our lives and significantly improved our living standards."

"The support I received has had a significant impact on my daily life. Thanks to the funds, I was able to realize my dream of purchasing a dairy cow within a short period of time. This has had a huge impact on our family's daily routine, as we no longer have to worry about buying milk. Moreover, we now have enough foodstuffs in the house, which was not the case before when we had to live from hand to mouth. I am immensely thankful for the support that has greatly improved our living standards."

"My primary goal for the year's end is to have a substantial goat herd, which will serve as the foundation of my livestock-selling enterprise. Despite having productive land, my ability to make a living through crop cultivation is hindered by severe weather conditions. Consequently, my solution is to purchase and sell livestock at a considerable profit margin, enabling me to support my children by providing them with food and paying for their education"

"As a father, nothing is more important to me than ensuring that my children receive a good education. I firmly believe that education is the key to their future success and independence. When I see my children studying, it feels me with hope because I know that they have the potential to make a positive impact on the world. To support their education, I plan to expand my goat-rearing business, which has already proven to be a profitable source of income. The profits will go towards paying for my children's school fees, as well as providing for our daily needs. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for their assistance, which has enabled me to invest in my family's future. I am determined to provide my children with the opportunities and resources they need to thrive and achieve their full potential."

"I am passionate about the idea of keeping livestock as a means of generating a sustainable income for myself. However, the drought conditions on my land pose a significant challange but I am not one to back down easily. I am taking a proactive approach to this situation and exploring all possible options. I am looking into investing in drought-resistant breeds of livestock and implementing water conservation practices that can help me overcome the drought conditions."

"GiveDirectly is doing a great job in terms of providing financial support to the less fortunate in the society like me. I have so managed to have electricity and a water tank courtesy of GivedDireclty and also many people have managed to achieve their dreams. I addition, GiveDirectly is doing everything great and there is nothing to improve on."

"The transfers had been so far of great help to me. At my current age, I feel that could no longer engage in other duties like walking for long distances in search of water, therefore I wanted to install tap water in my home so that I do not struggle much since I also do not have someone to help me out with the duties. Therefore, with the transfers that I received, I spent part of my first transfer and $77 of my second transfer on water installation, and currently, I feel so happy. My last-born child is currently in his final year at the university, and getting money to pay for his school fees had always been quite a challenge, but with GiveDireclty coming into my life, I managed to clear his pending balance of $200. The remaining transfer was also of great help in terms of adding more stock to my fish-selling business where I spent $123 and saved $150 for my future needs. This was a God-sent program and I was very grateful for being one of the beneficiaries."
