"My main goal is to ensure that all my children complete their education. With the cash transfers we receive from GiveDirectly, I see an opportunity not just to meet immediate needs, but to invest in a future of my children. I'm hopeful that they will acquire the knowledge and skills to secure jobs and support themselves together with their own families. I thank GiveDirectly for the help and possibilities provided to us, and I'm determined to make the most of this opportunity for the sake of my children's futures."

"As I look ahead to the coming year, my primary goal is to expand my livestock herd and invest in ploughing bulls. By doing so, I aim to reduce the expenses associated with ploughing, saving $56 to cultivate my two-acre land. Additionally, I plan to rent out the bulls for ploughing services, creating a sustainable source of income. Once my sons transition into adulthood, I will build them a house providing them with a sense of independence. I am grateful for all that the GiveDirectly cash transfers has enabled us to achieve."

"My major goal is to finish building our house; achieving this will ensure our family's comfort. Additionally, I intend to sell the livestock I currently possess and acquire dairy cows. By supplying milk in the village, I aim to establish a sustainable source of income. Furthermore, I plan to invest in bulls for ploughing, diversifying our sources of income. With these endeavors, I look forward to a brighter future filled with stability and prosperity, all made possible by the generosity of GiveDirectly."

"In the upcoming year, my main goal is to expand my herd of livestock and poultry using the cash transfers. By doing so, I'll establish a reliable source of income through selling the animals. My strategy involves saving a portion of the earnings for emergencies and accumulating enough to construct a home for my family. Through the support of GiveDirectly transfers, I feel empowered and I'm thankful to God."

"My goal is to save diligently and accumulate enough funds to purchase land, liberating my family from the over two-year reliance on my uncle's hospitality. He had provided us land but now requests we either buy or vacate. Once we secure the land, we'll construct a home, providing stability and security for my family. My other plan is to ensure my children are in school without the burden of school fees. I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunity the GiveDirectly transfers have provided us."

"My desire is ensuring all my children receive the education they deserve. Although our current living conditions are far from ideal, with a dilapidated house where we sleep on the floor, my priority remains steadfast: to see my children in school. Despite our challenges, I am determined to persevere and use the GiveDirectly transfers on educating my children so that they can achieve their highest potential and break free from the cycle of poverty."

"At first, I found it hard to understand GiveDirectly. I kept wondering where the money came from and if it was real that people out there had money to give to us. But eventually, I accepted it, and it helped me solve my farm problems. I'm thankful for that. When you visit other villages, please help them like you helped us."

"This year and in the future, I want to finish building a nice home. Just thinking about it makes me really happy. I'll sell extra farm produce and use the remaining transfer from GiveDirectly to finish the house. This project excites me because when it's done, I can focus on even bigger things later."

"Givedirectly does well in providing direct cash transfers, which helped me secure a house. It's a straightforward process that allows recipients to decide how best to use the funds to meet their needs and I feel nothing about their way of operation should be changed."
