"My desire would have been to start and run a fast-moving goods business in my village. However, operating the business in my locality is a challenge as there is little demand for fast-moving goods, which would make me run into losses. Instead, I want to start keeping livestock, especially goats. Since they can survive the harsh weather, the goats may reproduce and survive longer, thus giving me a chance to sell them for money. "

"I cannot thank Gve Directly enough for enabling me to own a goat through cash transfers. Am sure that when these animals reproduce and increased the flock, I could easily sell them to support the need of my family. For this reason, I wish to continue acquiring more goats in the future to grow my wealth. Apart from that, I want to start saving part of my cash transfer through a self-help group. I hope that these savings will prove useful in paying school fees for my son in the future as well as providing food. "

"I wish to construct a new house for my family. My current shelter is roofed by polythene paper, something that embarrasses me. I need to build a more decent two-room house with mud walls and a tine roof. For this to be successful sooner, I pray for the rains to come and support food crop production. This will allow my wife and me to save enough from the cash transfers to build the new structure. After the house is done, I plan to enroll in driving school. Regardless of my advanced age, I have always been passionate about driving and I believe the skills could earn me a better job to support my family. "

"My husband and I have been talking about building a more decent house for our family given the poor condition of the current one. Whenever it rains, water leaks through the roof which dampens our sleeping space. I recently had to move some household items to my in-law’s house as I feared the dampness would damage them. I have already started saving for the construction of the new house. I purpose to buy at least 20 pieces of iron sheets first, then acquire building poles and nails. After that, I will hire someone to complete the task"

"My children are in school and I'm hoping that they will become nurses and great future leaders in the country. I'm working hard to see that their dream come to reality and do believe they might elevate the family from poverty someday."

"In the coming year and beyond, I would like to start a business that involves selling green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, and onions. I have been relying on the charcoal business, which is sometimes seasonal and very tedious. Therefore, I have not been able to meet all my family's basic needs with ease. I am, however, positive that once I can operate this new business, I will not only be able to fund my children's education but also cater to their other basic needs."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in my entire region by ensuring that every household was visited and fairly enrolled. This exercise enhanced harmony among us in the village. Also, for now, my life has greatly transformed, which is a result of unconditional transfers. Therefore, I do not see anything that needs to be changed, even as they move to the next village."

"I'm in senior high school, studying hard and hoping to complete high school in a few years to enable me to further my education to university level in the city capital as an incoming doctor some day.I do believe will be one of the best doctors from my county of origin."

"I intend becoming one the biggest business woman in my town I want to travel to another country like Ivroncoast to purchase quality women materials to sell in and around my neighbouring town and city because women materials of quality is hard to find where I'm currently living."

"Givedirectly is helping us financially and making us self dependent"
