"I hope to start and finish building our house where together with my seven children we can stay in comfortably. The construction will begin once I have saved enough for the labor costs and bought all the materials, and hopefully, it will be completed within the next couple of months."

"I intend to purchase more goats for rearing. Since we do not have a stable source of income, the goats will be of financial help in the future especially, in paying for our children's school fees."

"My current goal at the moment is to see my son complete his secondary education by ensuring that I pay for his school fees promptly. Afterward, I intend to build a decent house that will accommodate my family comfortably since the one that we are currently staying in is not in good condition."

"My current goal this year is to start and finish building our house where together with my two children we can stay in comfortably. Afterward, I hope to start a business selling vegetables and other foodstuffs to substitute for my husbands’ income."

"I intend to start my own business selling second-hand clothes as I continue to search for job opportunities. I aim to get reliable work in the future so that my future family would have a reliable source of income."

"With the small income that I get from my casual jobs, I have been managing to save up at least $5 weekly in a merry-go-round. With these saving and from the Givedirectly transfers I hope to soon start up my own small business selling food and other vegetables in the nearby market."

"When I complete my college studies in august, I hope to have gained enough experience which will enable me to start my electrical shop. This will business will be a source of income for me and I will also be in a position to support my parents and see my younger siblings through their education. I also plan to buy more livestock to rear at home."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the great joy of spending freely from my pocket on items that we had hoped to obtain for our household. For a long time, I would only buy enough food for that day, but GiveDirectly changed everything, and for the first time, I purchased a full bag of corn in cash, along with other household items. I am hoping that the second transfer will still do a lot for us, and that by the end of the program, I will have seen a lot of change in my home."

"The most noticeable difference in my daily life is the revival of my cosmetics business, which was on the verge of closing before GiveDirectly stepped in. It was shrinking by the day because we would spend all of our money on food without replenishing the exhausted items. I am glad it is now functioning right, with the possibility of expanding further in the future."
