"My goal is to add an extra room to my one-room house. The current space is small for my two granddaughters and me, also, there is little privacy given our age difference. Since I do not have any source of income, except Give Directly’s cash transfers, I hope to be able to save enough money from future transfers to build the room. "

"Over the years, I intended to replace the roof of my house but lack of finances hindered me. The iron sheets corroded over time and developed perforations that let in water whenever it rains, thus dampening the space. Thanks to Give Directly, there is potential to renovate the roof through cash transfers. First, I plan to start buying the iron sheets until I assemble at least 24 pieces then hire someone to complete the project later. Regardless of the financial obligations like food and school fees, I hope to be able to save towards this goal"

"Since I lack a source of income and considering my old age, livestock keeping is the surest investment I can make to support my family’s needs. Am happy that some of the goats I bought through previous cash transfers gave birth already. This motivates me to secure more goats and grow my herd to at least ten by the end of the year. I pray they help me generate funds to take my grandchildren back to school as am their only hope. "

"I am hoping that very soon I will be able to purchase a dairy cow. I am positive that once I own it, I will benefit from the milk that it will produce daily. I plan to sell to the local dairy shops and local restaurants in the neighboring town and earn some cash. I will therefore save the money specifically for my children's school fees. I will, however, not have to strain as much as I have before."

"I want to become a successful cocoa farmer in the future. Therefore, I want to increase my six acres of cocoa farm to fifteen acres. The proceeds from my farm will help me provide better education for my children and feed my family as well."

"I hope to start a retail shop business that will be operated by my daughter since I am old and illiterate. Therefore, once I get the capital and open the business, I will be earning an income, which I will use to meet my family's basic needs. Also, paying fees for my daughter will no longer be a challenge. "

"House . successful cocoa farmer. Two acres. Hopping to add another two acres"

"In the coming year, my top priority will be to improve farming practices. Purchasing food has been difficult during this drought, and earning money from other farming practices has been impossible. I was spending a lot of money and sometimes missing a meal or two a day because I could not afford to buy them. As I anticipate the arrival of rain, I hope to save the proceeds from the poultry farm I have been running and use them to purchase farm inputs."

"I am the firstborn son in a family of five sons, and I have been enjoying the family resources since I married, including a share of milk from my parents' livestock and a piece of land to farm on while my younger siblings are still in school. My family is currently living on a 0.8-acre plot of land. The idea of dividing it among five of us was a wake-up call, and we had hoped to start saving for an additional piece before relocating. My plan is to invest more in livestock, breed and multiply them, and then sell them and use the proceeds to purchase some land."

"respect and patience, and they were always ready to help us understand the project by efficiently answering all of our questions. Their humility encouraged us to freely interact with them, allowing us to comprehend the entire enrollment process. The process was efficient, and it could be useful in other villages that are still waiting for GiveDirectly's support."
