"In order to assist my husband, I intend to use my upcoming transfer to acquire an additional goat, supplementing the two that are currently in my possession. Subsequently, as they multiply, I plan to sell some of them to contribute to my husband's household expenses. The proceeds from the sale of the animals will also aid in covering future school fees for our children, ensuring they receive a quality education and have a brighter future. I am deeply grateful for the financial support, as it has been crucial in meeting my essential needs."

"After the passing of my husband, the weighty task of caring for my six school-age children falls entirely on my shoulders. Despite the immense burden, the financial assistance from the transfers has alleviated some of these essential needs, particularly in providing for my children's education. My objective is to accumulate sufficient funds from future transfers to guarantee that all my children can attend school in the upcoming year. I am profoundly grateful for the ongoing financial aid provided by Give Directly."

"My primary focus is on completing the construction of a new house to replace my run-down dwelling. To accomplish this, I need to acquire additional building materials, including poles, iron sheets, and nails. This has been a long-held aspiration since my husband's passing. I am thrilled that I will soon realize this dream, all thanks to the financial assistance from the transfers."

"Initially, my foray into poultry rearing and selling faced a setback when the single hen I purchased didn't survive. However, with my upcoming transfers, I intend to acquire more hens, and I am hopeful that they will multiply, providing me with an opportunity to generate income through sales. I am pleased that the financial assistance will significantly contribute to realizing this aspiration in the near future."

"I aim to buy 24 iron sheets to repair my house's roof, ensuring peace of mind and convenience during the rainy season. In addition, I intend to invest in goats due to their rapid breeding, which will serve as a future financial asset. Upon multiplication, I can sell some of the goats to address my future needs. I am thankful for the financial assistance provided by Give Directly."

"My objective for this year is to persist in undertaking house repairs, primarily through the acquisition of additional stones and cement. A crucial part of the house still requires the replacement of the mud walls with sturdy stone walls. I am now reassured that my home can endure the impact of heavy rains, providing me with a sense of tranquility. I am immensely pleased that the financial assistance has enabled me to achieve this significant milestone of having a more resilient and improved house."

"I plan to utilize a significant portion of my next transfer to settle the remaining school fee balances for my three grandchildren. By doing so, I aim to ensure that they can attend their lessons without any hindrance. This action will not only alleviate the substantial financial burden on my son but also contribute to the continuous education of my grandchildren. I am extremely pleased with the ongoing financial assistance from the transfers."

"In the upcoming year, my aim is to construct a new house to replace the current old and deteriorating one. I hope to utilize the financial assistance to acquire the necessary building materials and establish a new home before my current residence deteriorates further, potentially leaving me homeless. I am extremely grateful for the financial support and remain hopeful that I will soon realize my dream of owning a new house."

"With my most recent transfers, I invested $450 from GiveDirectly in a life-changing transformation. Instead of borrowing and buying milk, I bought a cow to ensure a steady supply. This not only saved me money but provided my family with a reliable source of milk. Moreover, I used the funds to complete my house, painting it and purchasing three comfortable mattresses. Now, all nine of my kids can sleep peacefully, replacing the struggle of fitting them onto a small mattress. It's a tale of newfound self-sufficiency and improved living conditions."

"I have wanted to build on the animals I own. I would never have owned goats had it not been for Givedirectly. I now own 6 goats in addition to chicken and ducks. I want to buy more animals. For me animals are like an emergency fund. If I get an emergency whether its school fees, or someone being sick I can sell an animals get the money depending on how much is needed. I want to add more animals and increase my security for money."
