"We are fortunate to have an ample food supply to last the entire month. This allows me the flexibility to utilize my transfer to acquire additional goats. Currently, I own two goats and my intention is to expand my livestock by purchasing more goats, thereby increasing their numbers. These goats are a valuable asset that will serve as a resource in case of emergencies in the future. Additionally, I aim to purchase a new mattress to replace the worn-out one, ensuring a good night's sleep. I am deeply grateful for the assistance provided through the money transfer."

"My primary goal for the upcoming year is to make a substantial investment in acquiring livestock. Selling the multiplied livestock will yield a substantial income, enabling me to support my family. Furthermore, this investment will complement my husband's earnings from tending to other people's cattle. I am grateful for the financial assistance provided through the transfers, which has been invaluable in supporting my endeavors."

"At present, we are relishing the plentiful harvest from our farms a month ago, which has provided us with an abundance of food. This surplus has allowed me to allocate funds towards acquiring more livestock. I am optimistic that in the near future, I will rely on the income generated from selling the livestock for my financial needs. I am truly grateful for the financial assistance provided by Give Directly, and it brings me great joy and appreciation."

"The challenges I've faced in managing my finances have motivated me to pursue the establishment of a business in order to enhance my earnings. In the upcoming year, my intention is to utilize my transfer by initiating a venture focused on retailing food essentials like sugar, tea leaves, and maize flour. This endeavor will not only generate income but also contribute to the welfare of my family. I am deeply appreciative of the support provided by the transfers, which has ensured that my family members have had access to sustenance and that my children have been able to continue their education."

"Upon the completion of my new house, my intention is to utilize my future transfers to invest in procuring livestock. I am particularly inclined towards acquiring goats, as they have a propensity to multiply rapidly, thereby enabling me to realize a twofold return on my initial investment. I am elated that the transfers have facilitated the funding of my children's education, especially considering the limited earnings from my occupation as a casual laborer engaged in charcoal sales."

"In the upcoming year, my primary achievement will be the completion of the new house to facilitate my family's relocation. I hold a strong sense of optimism regarding the realization of this objective, primarily attributed to the forthcoming financial support. A mere year ago, the notion of owning a commodious dwelling seemed unattainable due to financial hardships. I am elated that these funds have enabled me to sustain my children's education and procure food during periods of drought."

"In the upcoming year, I aspire to enroll in a college to acquire proficiency in hair plaiting. This skill will enable me to establish my own business, generate income, and contribute to fulfilling my family's necessities alongside my husband. Additionally, I am dedicated to completing the construction of my residence. I have already procured a substantial quantity of the requisite building materials, including construction poles, nails, and iron sheets. I am genuinely delighted with the financial assistance, as it will play a pivotal role in realizing these objectives in the forthcoming year."

"THROUGH MY ENTIRE LIFE, I HAD NEVER GOT SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY TO HOLD SUCH AN AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM SOME ONE, NOT GOVERNMENT, NOT ANY OTHER ORGANISATION.. I WAS AFRAID THAT SNAKES WOULD SNEAK IN THE NIGHT TO HARM ME AND MY LIFE. BUT THANK GOD FOR GIVEDIRECTLY THAT I CAN ENCLOSE MY HOUSE"

"I WAS IN A WORKSHOP, I FELT SO OVER JOYED AND THANKED GOD. THE FIRST THING THAT WENT THROUGH MY MIND WAS TO GET LAND"

"I received a message from GiveDirectly around 3 pm while I was on my way to the nearest town. I was overjoyed to find out it was $200. Excitedly, I immediately shared the news with my husband, who works as a chef in the County Assembly. He urged me to wait until he got home that evening. When he arrived, his happiness was infectious. As a family, we were elated, realizing that this support would help us achieve our goals. It was a moment filled with joy and a sense of a brighter future ahead."
