"What I am hoping to accomplish this coming year is to build my house. Accomplishing this means a lot to me because, I am presently living in a family house sometime when the Family get together there is no sleeping place so building my own house to live in with my family means a lot to me."

"I am planning to buy land in Zwedru with my recent transfer but is not yet sufficient, so I am planning to wait for the rest of my transfer to add together to buy my Land."

"The biggest difference in my life is that this money will help me to improve my house by plastering it. I have not seeing anything that GiveDirectly is not doing well."

"I used portion of my recent transfer to pay my balance debt for the woods that I bought and I will use my balance money to start roofing my house."

"Givedirectly has helped me buy food for my family without strain. I have a lot of dreams that my life will turn out for the better. My children will go to school and someday they can better their lives. I have hopes for the future."

"GiveDirectly is doing well for us by giving us money to transform our lives in a positive way, GiveDirectly has change so many lives that today we can have a better life then before."

"The thrill I felt around 5:00 p.m. when I realized I had received the money was indescribable. I had a lot of plans that we had put in place a week before the transfer because we were confident that GiveDirectly would keep their promise. I could not collect the money right away because my helper was still at school. The following morning, I went about my usual business before withdrawing all of the money from a nearby shopping center and returning home to make further plans."

"I saved my two transfers of $1100 to install water at my home. The whole project was mainly to start a business and sell water to the villagers. The water business revenue has been helping me to buy my monthly medication. I have diabetes and kidney problems and each month I have to go for a check-up which costs me $100. Before the transfer I could not keep up with the medical expenses because of lack of money, so most of the time I was weak and could not work. I stayed home depending on my husband and children. My husband is a farmer and most of the time he is the primary earner in the family. The Revenue from my business has helped me buy medicine and food for my family without strain."

"My current subsistence farming has always come in handy, and I am grateful that I have never spent a penny on maize flour, even during the dry seasons. With a good harvest, I was able to store more than ten sacks of maize, of which I will sell some and eat some. At the moment, I am hoping to improve farming practices in order to harvest enough produce for my household consumption as well as a surplus for sale. In this case, the sale proceeds will cover other household expenses that would have depleted my savings."
