"Achieving financial stability is my primary objective, and to accomplish this, I aim to channel my upcoming transfers into acquiring additional livestock. At present, I possess four goats and three hens, all acquired through the financial assistance I've received. As these animals reproduce, they will generate supplementary income through surplus sales. The proceeds will be earmarked for my children's education in the foreseeable future. I deeply appreciate the ongoing financial support that facilitates the realization of my ambitions, which necessitate significant financial commitment."

"My main focus right now is joining college and continuing with my education. From there, I plan to venture into livestock rearing to generate income. I hope to establish a stable source of income for myself and my family. I'm so grateful for the support that GiveDirectly has provided us."

"In the coming year, my main goal is to use the GiveDirectly cash transfers on rebuilding our house, which has become too small for our growing family. It's equally in a bad state, whenever it rains, water seeps in from the ground. If all goes well with my current business, I will open a saloon to diversify my sources of income—an endeavor I've long desired. The thought of the transfers fills me with boundless gratitude, and each time I receive the cash, my joy knows no bounds."

"The assistance provided by GiveDirectly has made a tangible difference in the economic well-being of our community, evident in the improvements seen in housing, education, and farming practices. Personally, I take great pride in the acquisition of two Dorper breed sheep through the transfer, foreseeing their potential to multiply and serve as a significant income stream in the future. I express my sincere gratitude for the transformative influence GiveDirectly has had on my life and the broader community."

"I live on half an acre piece of land that I utilize for housing and farming. I have two kids, a boy, and a girl, and I hope to have more. It's a cultural tradition to allocate land to sons. So when I received my second transfer from GiveDirectly, I decided to buy an additional half an acre of land next to mine, which my neighbor was selling for $400. I paid a deposit of $200 and will clear the rest later. This extra land will expand my farming and provide a place for my son(s) to live in the future. I also have a maize farm on one acre of rented land. Which I used my first transfer of $200 from GiveDirectly to manage the crops. Now, my maize is ready to harvest. I've set aside $50 for harvesting. After the harvest, I'm sure my home will have enough food. In addition, I've allocated $30 to clear another piece of land I've just rented from a neighbor. Moreover, I bought a sheep for $60 to add to my flock of 10, naming it GD as a reminder of GiveDirectly's support. Finally, I spent $94 to address food needs, $44 on a sack of maize to sustain us as we await harvesting, and $50 on other necessities."

"Recipient plans to sell off the cows anytime she finds a piece of land in a safe place"

"Bought a plot of land"

"My focus is fully on completing my studies and starting a business in the village. Since we do not have an electronic shop within the village, I plan to use the GiveDirectly cash transfers to open one. I will be completing my course in the next two months and with the financial burden of school fees lifted, I'll be able to concentrate on my livestock rearing establishing a stable source of income for my family. I'm sure all this will enable me to build a better life for myself and our family."

"My aim is to open a grocery shop within our village, providing essential goods hence generating an income for my family. Additionally, I intend to expand my livestock rearing, to increase our income generation which in the end will contribute to our financial stability. I will also ensure that my children continue with their education to the highest level possible. I'm happy and grateful with the support GiveDirectly has given us."

"Having the biggest retail shop around this community."
