"In the coming years, my dream would be to start a boutique business where I will be selling clothes. I believe that this is more profitable compared to the one that I currently manage. To realise this dream, I plan on joining a Sacco where I will be saving at least $20 per month. Once it is mature, I can comfortably set up the business. All in all, I am grateful for the achievement that I have accomplished in a short period."

""On that day, October 18, 2022, I decided not to go on the farm, it was when I received my transfer. I was so glad when I received my transfer. I immediately started dancing when almost part of the entire town members were starring at me. The first plan that ruined my mind was purchasing of zinc and paying my children school fees. Right now, I have 2 bundles of zinc and have paid my children school fees. I am now awaiting the balance of my transfers to commence the construction work of my house"."

"My husband and I house broke down and we were assisted by one of our family members to stay in his house. So receiving money from Give Directly, gave us hope again because we couldn't afford to build our own house. So we bought 2 bondles of zinc for 173.30USD and the balance for transportation. We have decided to build our own house."

"I went and bought a bondle of zinc for 80.00 USD and 40.00USD on zinc nails. My wife with my 4 kids are living in my father's house. So i have decided to build my own house from this Give Directly money. I used 30.00 USD for my kids school fees. Also bought a bag of rice for the family. Besides, i used 23.30USD for 5 person who worked on my cocoa farm for two days. I used portion of the money as transportation to buy those items and i am keeping the balance money for the house project."

""The biggest difference when I successful complete my project, It will make me a house owner thereby leading to reduction on huge expenses like paying rent while also having 4 children school fees to pay. It's not a small burden"."

""When the money came I was not in town. I went to the next village, to haverst rice. My friend met on the high way, and told me about it. So I rushed home to check my phone. The moment I got home I saw my daughter dancing and I joined her to celebrate. My son been sick for 2 years now and cannot talk. His treatment was the first thing I thought on"."

""I used some of the money to buy dirt bricks and bought planks. I also save some of the money while I await the other one to be added. I want to buy zinc when I receive the next transfer"."

""I was in my room, and I heard people yelling about the transfer from GiveDirectly. So I called my son to confirmed it. I was very happy because my late husband and myself planned to change our house to dirt bricks but could not do it because he got sick and later died. We started making bricks but couldn't continue due to his illness. When he died, I got discouraged. But with the present of GD, I have the courage to complete my house""

"I have the assurance that my house will soon br completed"

"There are numerous changes.I no longer worry about my children's education. I have peace of mind"
