Kitsao
received a sixth payment.
"I would like to be a farmer, cultivate crops and rear livestock, and later sell at the market. Currently, I feel like the green vegetable are scarce and no one in the village is cultivating if I can get a good supply of water I can accomplish this, and I will be sure to make profits and help my family."

"My short-term goal is to open a grocery shop. With the current drought, not a lot can afford to buy water for irrigation but if I can come up with enough capital and be getting the groceries from the market, the business can flourish."

Juliet
received a $28 sixth payment.
"I thank GiveDirectly for all the transfers I usually receive monthly. It is because of the transfers, I can now confidently think of joining a Merry go round. I want to start my monthly savings of $10 and build myself a new home. The current house I have is very old and it can easily fall when a strong wind blows.My ultimate desire this year is to build my family a big house and save enough to start myself a good business."
