"I am looking forward to get absorbed by the teachers commission service next year. This will mean that, I will be able to spend my salary on expansion of my farm business and in future I will be able to spend the income to support my family."

"With the cows I already have, my plan is to rear them then sell them in the next one year to venture into chicken business with my partner because chicken business seems to be more reliable now than livestock due to recurring droughts."

"I'm looking forward see the two goats that I bought multiply to a big herd and this means that, I will be able to sell them in future when my children joins high school and pay their school fees. This will also lessen the burden for my husband who is the sole provider of the family. Taking our kids to school means that we will be helping them build a better future for themselves and their families."

"I bought some few chicken and I'm looking forward to buy more so that I can start a poultry farming. This means that I will be able to sell the chicken in future and help my husband in paying school fees for our children and other family responsibilities. Watching him carry all the family responsibility by his own has been tough and I know he will be grateful if we help each other."

"What GiveDirectly does well is uplifting and empowering the poor through giving unconditional cash transfers. I will urge them to continue doing the good work because have seen these money enable peple to take their children to school, start businesses, build houses, bought livestock ,etc. That's a job well done"

"Before we were enrolled in the program, both my wife and I were schooling but I had to defer my studies due to lack of school fees. I started working as a casual in any sector that I could find work to be able to provided to her and our child. I had started losing hopes of completing my final semester because I could only raise $3 per day which was only enough for basic needs. When I received my first transfers, I was able to pay school fees and go back to school. With my second transfers I was able to settle both my wife's and my fees balance balance worth $350. I spend the balance to open a local salon for my wife who was studying hair dressing and I'm glad that she's able to bring something on the table at the end of the day and I was able to complete my studies."

"I have so much joy walking around the village and seen developments which were made possible by the GiveDirectly transfers. I cant thank you enough for the good work as I urge you to continue doing the good work that you have always done."

"I am now focusing farming so that I can be able to able to harvest enough food for the family consumption and let my husband invest the money that he used to buy food on his business. This means that, he will be able to save enough towards school fees for our children once they join high school."

"Living in a two rooms muddy house with my six children has not been easy and I have desired to give them better living conditions but since my husband and I are peasant farmers, we couldn't meet our desires. Being enrolled in the program was a dream come true as we could foresee ourselves having our dream home and living happily ever after with our children. With our first transfer, we were able to raise a two bedroom structure which wed spend $300 of our second transfer to put up a roof. We were also able to settle school fees balance of $150 which we were not able to pay before and now our children have been allowed to settle in school without being send home. I spend the balance buy food for my family and I am so thankful to GiveDirectly for the support."

"Since I was able to build a house for my family. I am now looking forward to focus on modern farming so that I can be able to harvest a good yield for both family consumption and surplus for economic purposes. This means that I will be able to help my husband pay school fees for our four children thus building a better future for them."
