"I want to devote all of my time, energy, and resources to building a good, spacious home that can accommodate my entire family. We have to cram everyone inside the tiny house to sleep. Additionally, there are no partitions in the house, so whenever friends and neighbors come over, they can see all of my bedding. This disturbs my sense of calm, and I feel embarrassed that I am unable to protect my privacy even from my young children. I'll be able to regain my dignity and privacy by building a larger home."

"Due to poverty, the residents in our community did not have any investments at first. Because they lived hand to mouth, they were unable to start any form of business. GiveDirectly empowers us and inspires us to invest at a greater level. People now invest in shops and other enterprises that supply them with their everyday necessities. GiveDirectly performed above and beyond expectations, and I have never encountered a problem with the company."

"Currently, I have a goal of starting a charcoal-selling business. I chose this kind of business because it has less competition since it is a handful of people who are doing it. The aim of this business is income generation because most people are selling charcoal in small quantities at most three sacks. I want to buy them from the ones who burn them so that I can sell them to retailers for distribution. I would like to flag off the business as soon as I get some money."

"I believe that GiveDirectly is a great organization because they help those in need financially. Nobody could have predicted how drastically this money has changed people's lives in my neighborhood. Due to the transfers, I now possess livestock. Now things have started to get difficult again, my sole wish is for the money transfers to return."

"GiveDirectly thrives by donating money to the underprivileged in the community so they can improve their homes and even invest in various initiatives of their choosing. They were able to raise their standard of living as a result. I can't think of anything GiveDirectly did poorly. What I can suggest is that, while you do your location scouting in a region, please take into consideration the families who have trouble getting their kids to secondary schools and universities, and if feasible offer them some scholarships. This is what I'm suggesting because after you educate the youth, they will be the ones to end family poverty."

"We have relied on GiveDirectly at our most trying moments. Providing us with transfers with no conditions attached has made our tasks more efficient. Some of us didn't even have the resources to afford decent housing, but now that GiveDirectly is here, we have both decent housing and a place to call home."

"My primary goal for this year is to spend my transfers on paying school fees for my children. I currently have six school-going children, and I have been stressed about how to support their education. With the assurance of the monthly transfers, I hope my burden to raise their school fees will be easened. I will, therefore, not have to bear the burdens as it has been before courtesy of the transfers. As a result, they will advance well in their education. I am happy to see that they are currently doing well in school."

"I honestly you want to commend the Organization for the help that it offered us and the amazing job it has done in our personal lives so far. I have no idea when my daughter would have gone back to school were it not for Give Directly sending me the money when they did."

"Personally I am quite grateful for assistance that I received from the organization especially because it finally enabled me to build a beautiful house that me and my kids are currently living. I pray and hope that the organization will keep on doing amazing work for other people as well."

"I would want to express my gratitude for the help that I received from the organization. This money was quite life-changing for me and I am extremely happy that I finally have a house that can accomodate me and my kids."
