"I hope to complete all the area that needs renovation on my house to make it a bit presentable"

"I use my third transfer to buy house building materials.I have decided to build new house for my children so as to give me space. They're ageing and can't be with me in the same room."

"I used most of my second transfer on buying house building materials to erect a new structures hopefully."

"I hope to complete this house before this year ends by the special grace of God."

"I spent the recent transfer to further the studies of my firstborn son who had completed primary school and was about to join secondary. The transfer come at the right time when we need it most since we did not have any savings for his education. I used $440 to do the required shopping as well as pay the secondary school boarding fees. Currently, I am happy that my kid was able to join secondary school without much problem and continue learning without any issues. In addition, I used the remaining amount to acquire a new mattress for our 3 kids who were spending their nights on an old, small and worn-out mattress that was not comfortable."

"Give Directly is doing extremely well for us in the South Eastern by providing us with unconventional cash to settle many of our problems."

"By the end of the year, I would like to have bought four more goats. Since I have no course of income, rearing livestock is the ideal chance I have to raise money for the education of my two children who are still in primary school. After I have bought the goats, I plan to start saving towards building a more spacious two-room house for my children and me. The current one-room structure, which doubles as a kitchen, is tiny for all of us. "

"Not to completely rely on my son, I wish to own a business selling vegetables. I believe I will make enough profits to cover basic needs, like food, and relieve the burden off his shoulders. At least this would give him ample time to raise money for other things like school fees for his children. I would be happy if I could save enough from the next cash transfers to start the business. "

"In the next year and beyond, I hope to have bought two goats to increase my herd to nine goats. Since I started receiving the transfers, I have not been able to buy an animal bigger than a chicken because of the hunger situation in the household. Although things are still tough, I believe that I will be able to save throughout the year until I afford the two goats. After that is done, I plan to start saving for a cow as well. "

"The most significant difference in my daily life is the ease with which I can cultivate my land after leasing it. Without the financial support I received from GiveDirectly, planting would have been incredibly expensive. I hope that, despite the fact that we are currently spending a lot on food, the harvest ahead of us will be satisfying and will provide us with a lot of cushions after selling the surplus produce. The proceeds will be useful in purchasing other household items."
