"6k one in secondary school 4k Debt of that we borrowed when mu spouse was a life 10k two goats Complsted the construction of the house that I started using the first transfer Food and clothes"

"I spent $350 on purchasing a dairy cow, This is because I used to buy milk daily and it was so costly for me. I was so happy because I knew I would cut the daily cost of buying milk, but unfortunately, the cow felt sick and died. I spent $100 on purchasing two goats, Goats reproduce twice per year and help whenever there is an emergency since they can be sold faster. I will sell the young ones to buy a dairy cow. The remaining amount of money I spent on purchasing food, clothes and household items. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our standard of living."

"Our home's roof had poor condition and was prone to leaks during heavy downpours. We intended to get the repairs done when I received the second transfer. We spent $150 on new iron sheets for the roof as well as other necessary materials. I'm glad we have a roof over our heads. We stopped waking up with body aches after I spent $150 on new mattresses and beds to replace our old, torn ones. After purchasing a plot of land, I also paid off a $150 loan that was outstanding. I restocked the family's food supply with the remaining $100."

"In my perspective, GiveDirectly performed admirably in our village and even in the villages it visited before ours. The advice on sensible spending was also well received, as shown by the final results, which left me feeling inspired. Residents' living standards have improved as a result of our impartial enrollment."

"My main goal to accomplish now is to save some money from the sales of my farm produce and the merry-go-round group that we have started in our village to continue paying the school fees for my children in secondary school. It is the dream of every parent to ensure that their children get the best education."

"When I initially received my transfer, I refrained from withdrawing it because I wanted to combine it with the second one so that I could use them both at once. I intended to purchase land so that I could engage in farming. I raised $1100 by selling one of my bulls and using the proceeds to purchase a hectare of property that cost $2500. I can take care of my family's essential requirements because I work as a chemist."

"My current goal is to ensure that my children's education is not interrupted because of fee arrears. I have been struggling to raise fees for them, so receiving the monthly transfer is a big relief to me. I am hoping that they will continue with their studies undisturbed and realize their educational goals. Currently, I do not have a source of income that can help with paying the fees and I am relying on the transfers hence my plan is to ensure that I pay for them on time."

"I plan to find employment as a driver after completing my driving lessons because it's my passion. I'll be able to support my family with the money I earn from this job by taking care of their necessities."

"My main objective for this year is to start purchasing and rearing goats. I had yearned for this for years, but I could not realize that goal because I never had a reliable source of income. I am confident that it is a feasible project now that I have guaranteed monthly transfers. I love goats since they are valuable live assets and sources of milk and other food items. As a result, I will provide for my family's needs after GiveDirectly's transfer. Since my house is not in a good condition I also aim to repair the areas that are in worse shape."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does very well by giving support in form of cash. Looking at the things that I was able to do makes me always happy and contented. These are the things that I would not have done had I not been given the freedom to choose what to do with the money. On the other hand, I did not find anything with GiveDirectly that I thought could have been done better. Everything was done in a good way."
