"Right now, my main priority is finding the right medication to help me get back to good health. Once I'm feeling better, my dream is to renovate my small, cramped house. It's seen better days, especially when my grandchildren come to visit. I envision transforming it into a spacious and inviting space for them, where they can feel truly at home and comfortable. It's not just about fixing up the physical structure; it's about creating a warm and welcoming environment where we can make cherished memories together. I can't wait to see the smiles on their faces when they walk into their newly renovated home-away-from-home."

"With the help of the upcoming transfers, I've got big plans for the coming year and beyond. I've been dreaming of starting my livestock farm, focusing on raising goats. So, I've set a goal to save $20 from each transfer every month. This may seem small, but it's a step towards a brighter future for my family. I believe that investing in goat farming will not only provide us with a sustainable source of income but also ensure that we have enough to cater to our needs in the long run. I'm determined to turn this dream into a reality, and with the support from GiveDirectly, I know I can make it happen."

"In the coming year and beyond, my biggest dream is to build a strong and secure house for my family. Our current home is not very stable, especially during the harsh winds and rains in our area. It's been a constant worry, but now I'm determined to change that. I want to create a safe environment where my family can feel protected and comfortable, no matter what the weather brings. So, I'm setting my sights on saving up to make this dream a reality."

"GiveDirectly has truly made a significant impact on my life. Before, I had a leaking house, but now, thanks to them, I have a new one. Their unconditional cash assistance has also helped me address food security issues. With their support, I can carefully plan how to use the money in the best way possible for my family. I have no recommendations for changes because I appreciate all of GiveDirectly's programs. They have provided me with the help I needed to improve my living conditions and ensure my family's well-being."

"My main goal is to fix up my house. The roof is old and leaky, making every rainy day a nightmare. I've been saving up, and in just two months, I'll finally be able to start the renovation. It's going to be a big project, but once it's done, I won't have to worry about the harsh weather anymore. No more buckets scattered around the house to catch drips; no more sleepless nights listening to the rain pounding on the roof. I can't wait to have a cozy, weatherproof home where my family and I can feel safe and comfortable, no matter what the weather throws at us."

"I have a straightforward plan: to buy a dairy cow from my Merry Go Round group in July. With that cow, I'll have a consistent supply of milk, which I can sell to generate income. This will be a game-changer for me and my family. With the extra income from selling milk, I'll finally be able to settle my bills with ease. No more struggling to make ends meet or worrying about how I'll manage to pay the bills or my children's school fees. It's a simple but powerful step towards financial stability and providing a better future for my family. I'm excited about the possibilities this opportunity will bring, and I'm determined to make the most of it."

"My primary goal in the upcoming year and beyond is to save diligently and invest in livestock. Recognizing that the financial assistance will eventually cease, I aim to build a sustainable income source through livestock rearing. This investment will complement my existing earnings from selling palm wine in the village. I am deeply grateful for the financial support I have received thus far, as it has significantly improved my quality of life. With careful planning and wise investment decisions, I am confident that I can secure a stable and prosperous future for myself and my family."

"I was at home in the evening after spending my day working on the farm. While I was preparing some vegetables for supper, I received a message on my phone. At first, I didn't bother to check the message because I couldn't understand it. However, when I overheard my neighbour mentioning that she had received her first transfer from GiveDirectly, I became curious to know if I had also received mine. I called my helper, who read the contents of the message and she informed me that I had also received a transfer. I was overjoyed as this came as a huge relief to me. My two children had been sent home from school because of unpaid fees, but now I could pay their fees and they could continue with their studies. This news made me very happy."

"My main aim for the coming months is to purchase an ox. With the ox, I'll be able to properly plan and cultivate my farm without relying on hiring a friend for help, especially since I'm unable to manage the entire nine-acre farm alone. Having an ox will significantly ease the workload and ensure that I can maximize the productivity of my land. By achieving this goal, I anticipate that my farm yields will increase substantially, providing me with the necessary sustenance and surplus to support myself and my family. It's a simple goal, but one that holds the key to my agricultural success and financial stability in the long run."

"My goal for this year is to renovate my house, and by June, I plan to put in a new metal door. The current wooden one is old, damaged by worms, and just not stable enough. I don't feel secure with it; I am always worried about the safety of my property. But with the new door, I believe I won't have to stress about it anymore. It's a simple fix, but it means a lot to me. Having a sturdy, secure door will bring peace of mind and make my home feel safer and more comfortable. It's a small step towards improving my living situation, but it's an important one."
