"My recent transfer that I cash out, I am saving it to pay my son collage tuition next academic semester year."

"In my mind GiveDirectly is doing well for me because I never had money to build my own house but with the help of GiveDirectly I will be able to build my own house with a Zinc roof. As for me there is nothing that I have seeing that GiveDirectly is not doing well."

"What I am hoping to accomplish this year and next year is to buy my Land in zwedru. Getting land in zwedru has been my dream even before the arrival of GiveDirectly, so accomplishing this means a lot to me because land is a valuable assets even my children children's will benefit in future."

"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."

"When I received my first transfer I was very happy because this money will help me complete my house that I was building before receiving money from GiveDirectly."

"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."

"I spent my recent transfer on business,i was able to cash 7000 of the money to buy 1 bags of 50kg Rice and other things to start a small business for myself. And i save the balance 30,000 ."

"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 am thankful my first goal has come true. Give directly has supported a lot of dreams in the village, mine included. It has also helped people to start over. A lot of family are sending their children to school now."

"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."
