"The most significant difference is that I was able to realize my dream of providing clean water to my neighbours so they avoid becoming ill from drinking contaminated water. This is because I believe that serving humanity is serving God. Sharing clean water with my neighbour makes me happy, and I am grateful to the organization for making this dream a reality."

"My aim is to set aside some cash each month and purchase two breeding cows by the end of the year. They grow more quickly, and after a year I may sell some of them to make money to buy more, as well as utilize some of the proceeds to help pay for the building supplies needed to build a house for my kids. Since our house just has one room, there isn't enough room for everyone to sleep comfortably. They presently sleep at my neighbor's house, but I don't feel comfortable with the situation because I can't keep an eye on them when they are far away. Additionally, it is dangerous for them to walk at night."

"My main goal is a simple one, as expressed by countless other parents. I wish nothing more than to offer my kids a better life. Hopefully, with the strides we have made thanks to the GiveDirectly transfers, we are a few steps closer to achieving that goal."

"Setting up a grocery store has long been a dream of mine. Selling kale, cabbages, potatoes, maize, etc. would be the main items on sale. The overall result would be more money, meaning a better education for my lastborn and a marked improvement of our lives as a family."

"GiveDirectly has completely transformed the lives of all the recipients in our area. If they had not been so gracious as to choose us, we would possibly never have achieved many of the things we have. They excel at making recipients feel understood and accepted, rather than judged and demo used for the situations they find themselves in."

"I hope to complete my house work before this year ends"

"Having a home of my own has been the major goal. I want to see my family and I in our new home sharing fun and living happily together. I believe with hard work and delegation I will achieve it ."

"Personally, as a father of 3 children and their beautiful mother who farms for survival, I would like to purchase some piece of land and build a house with three bedrooms for my family with the cash transfer received from Givedirectly.I want my family to live a comfortable life.So I will continue farming to meet with my responsibility as a parent."

"I have been a contractor for the past 3 years with a very low income to care for my family. My wife had to go into the bush to hustle animals to take them to the nearby towns and villages to sell and provide meals for the family. I've been around others who actually built a successful business and they did extremely well.So I intend to establish a business for my wife so that she will no longer go into the bush in search of animals again.The profits generated from the business will enable us to have a new house of ours."

"My 4 kids and my wife, we are all living in my father's house. So receiving this unconventional cash from Give Directly, i have decided to build my own house for my family and i. So i bought additional bundle of zinc for 80.00 USD, 53.30USD for my kids school fees, 2 bags of cement 33.00USD and 50.00USD for planks."
