"This transfer has brought a very big difference in our lives. With the cow that we bought with part of the transfer, we will now be able to have our own milk that the children can consume and we will be able to sell part of it. The money from these sales will enable us to have some source of income that we can use on other things. Also, with the motorbike that we bought for business, we will be able to have a source of income that we can depend on even after the money that we are getting from GiveDirectly gets finished. The goats that I bought, will reproduce and can be able to sell some whenever I need money to pay for my children’s school fees. Thank you GiveDirectly for making this happen."

"I was filled with lots of happiness when I received the message saying I had received the transfer from GiveDirectly. I informed my family of the good news and we all celebrated. We felt that our dreams had become true because we were now going to be able to achieve what we have always wanted to do. Thank you GiveDirectly for this program that you thought of starting of helping the needy. May God bless you abundantly."

"The transfer is going to bring a difference to my family. With the cow that we have always wanted, we will be able to have our milk for sale and consumption. The milk sales will enable us to have an income that we will be able to use on other important things. The transfer will also enable us to build another house, we have been living in only one house that is small for too long, with this new house, we will have enough space that can even accommodate guests visiting us."

"I used this transfer from GiveDirectly to buy gravel, sand, and cement. I plan to use these building materials to cement the floor of my house that we have been living in. I also bought 24 sofa-set cushions. We did not have cushions for our sofa-sets and we used to sit on them that way. I also used part of the transfer to cater to the medical expenses of my child who suddenly fell ill in school. This money also helped me in buying a bag of maize for my family, this way we will have something to eat for quite some time. This money has helped us a lot, we have been able to buy what we have always wanted. We thank GiveDirectly for this program that they thought of starting and may you continue with the same spirit of helping other people."
