"Ensuring my children receive the finest education is of utmost importance to me, as it will empower them to pursue their desired careers and secure a brighter future. Therefore, I am committed to supporting the education of my three children by covering their school fees. I am particularly focused on facilitating my daughter's transition from primary to secondary school, ensuring she continues her educational journey."

"I am focused on finishing the construction of a new house for my son. As he has reached adulthood, it is essential to provide him with a home to enable him to start his independent life. This endeavor will also afford me the opportunity to preserve my privacy and lead a dignified life. In the upcoming transfers, I intend to procure the remaining building materials, including poles and nails, to initiate the construction of the house. I am genuinely thrilled and grateful for the support from the transfer, which has significantly enhanced my quality of life."

"My objective is to ensure that I have renovated my run-down house and am residing in a comfortable dwelling. With the recent acquisition of ten pieces of iron sheets, I am steadily advancing towards the construction of a superior and more secure residence. My aim is to procure new building poles and nails, and subsequently set aside adequate funds to compensate the mason who will initiate the construction of the house. I am extremely pleased with the financial assistance; it has been immensely beneficial to me thus far."

"As I was home, caring for my disabled 6-month-old child, my husband had gone to the farm when a message about receiving $180.1 from GiveDirectly popped up on my phone. Instantly, joy surged through me—I couldn't help but leap around and express gratitude to the heavens. I shared this incredible news with my husband, and his face lit up with joy when he returned that evening. We both knew that our relentless struggle to address our pressing needs was about to ease. The relief flooded over us, bringing a sense of hope we hadn't felt in a long time."

"In the years ahead, my family's goal is to expand our mango tree plantation. I am confident that this venture will play a crucial role in meeting our financial needs. Previously, launching such a project was hindered by financial constraints, mainly because my land was not fenced. Now that I have successfully fenced my land, providing protection against goat intrusion, I intend to use the proceeds from selling vegetables to turn this dream into a tangible reality. Above all, I am grateful for the noteworthy achievements I have attained thus far."

"I manage an eatery, and my husband works as a farmer. We have five children. With the arrival of our second transfer, my husband and I made strategic decisions to improve our overall financial situation. We directed $200 towards tomato farming, a more lucrative venture that we believed we could manage effectively for better returns. Additionally, I invested $1000 in my eatery business, contributing to its increased income. We also purchased two goats for $100, and the remaining funds were wisely used to buy essential food supplies. Achieving these endeavors was challenging in the past due to the instability of our income and the financial responsibilities associated with school fees. I am genuinely happy that these decisions have had a significant impact on my life, and I am forever grateful for the positive changes these opportunities have brought."

"I intend to purchase new construction materials such as poles, iron sheets, nails, and sisal twine ropes. With these materials in hand, I will begin constructing the new house on elevated ground, away from the waterway. I am delighted that the support from the transfer will assist me in reaching this goal, especially considering my modest income from raising livestock."

"My intention is to utilize my forthcoming transfers to acquire hens and reinvigorate the poultry venture following the unfortunate loss of the hens. The reestablishment of this initiative will secure a steady income stream to complement my earnings from crop farming. I am profoundly grateful for the financial assistance provided through the Give Directly transfers, which has empowered me to address my family's necessities."

"I am involved in a small-scale poultry enterprise, where I raise and sell hens. The current chicken coop is quite limited in size, constraining the number of hens I can accommodate. My aim is to accumulate sufficient funds to construct a larger coop, allowing for the expansion of my poultry stock. This expansion will significantly boost my income through increased hen sales. I am delighted that the transfer funds have supported diversifying my income streams, addressing my family's necessities."

"At present, I own three goats, acquired through my previous transfers. My objective is to expand my livestock holdings by adding more goats once I have saved enough funds through the savings group. The goats represent a crucial avenue for generating income, as their offspring will contribute to a steady revenue stream. I am truly grateful for the financial assistance provided by Give Directly, and I am confident that this support will pave the way for financial stability, empowering me to sustain myself."
