"GiveDirectly has been a lifeline for me, and their impact on my life is nothing short of transformative.

With their support, I've been able to address pressing financial needs, whether it be investing in education, improving my living conditions, or starting a small business.

"My main aspiration is to acquire a dairy cow. This isn't just about owning livestock; it's about securing a means to provide for my family. With the cow, I envision a dual-purpose advantage: not only will it supply milk for selling, generating income to pay for my children's education, but it will also enhance our household's health by providing fresh, nutritious milk for domestic consumption. I believe that investing in this cow isn't just an investment in a single animal; it's an investment in the well-being and future of my children. I'm motivated to make this happen, knowing it will contribute to their education and health, creating a more promising future for us all."

"Your commendable approach of providing direct cash and ensuring follow-ups has truly impressed me. I would like your organization to expand its impact by getting into space of agricultural support. Specifically, providing agricultural furniture and inputs could contribute to sustainable development"

"My primary objective is to enhance my financial stability by diversifying my income streams. Recognizing the inadequacy of relying solely on one source of income to support my family, I have decided to venture into the lucrative livestock business, with a particular focus on goats, given their profitability in my local area. I am pleased to report that I have already started the acquisition of goats, and the forthcoming transfers will be allocated to expanding this venture. This additional source of income promises significant benefits for my family, giving me the peace of mind that I can adequately provide for their needs."

"My focus in the coming year and beyond is on the continuous expansion of my honey buying and selling business. The generated proceeds from this venture hold a crucial role in realizing my dream of securing a plot of land for my young family. Currently residing on a family friend's land, I am aware that I will need to relocate once they begin dividing the property among their sons. Despite living here for the past 40 years, life challenges have hindered my ability to save for my own property. While I initially considered using GiveDirectly's cash support for this purpose, unforeseen medical expenses arose due to my wife's cesarean birth. Nevertheless, the profitability of my honey business, with a 20-liter bucket yielding a profit of at least $27 and a readily available market, provides optimism for achieving both financial stability and the long-awaited dream of acquiring a plot of land for my family's future."

"My primary goal for the upcoming year is to build a quality house that provides safety and ample space for my family, ensuring a comfortable living environment, as our current one is small. To achieve this ambition, I plan to utilize my third transfer. I am confident that with dedication and hard work, this vision can be successfully realized."

"The support extended by GiveDirectly has not only significantly improved our quality of life but has also brought about a profound and positive transformation. The program's unconditional approach allowed us the flexibility to allocate the funds according to our specific needs, providing a sense of empowerment. We are immensely grateful for the constructive influence this support has had on our lives. From my personal perspective, I have not identified any shortcomings in the program's implementation, and we look forward to the continued positive impact on our well-being."

"The compound sensitization meetings were conducted with a sense of equality, utmost respect, and an absence of bias, creating a positive and inclusive environment. Personally, I found no visible issues with the program's operations, leading me to believe that there are no areas requiring improvement. The overall experience has been commendable, and I appreciate the efforts of the program in fostering transparency and inclusivity."

"My aspiration is to launch a wholesale milk business, a venture that has been hindered by financial constraints due to various household responsibilities. However, with the support of my third transfer, I am determined to turn this goal into a reality. The funds will be strategically invested to kickstart the business, enabling me to overcome past challenges and transform my life positively. I am optimistic about the impact this endeavor will have on my family's financial stability and look forward to the journey ahead."

"GiveDirectly does well in empowering individuals of all ages within the community. The unconditional nature of the transfer provided the flexibility to allocate funds to areas of greater importance to us. Furthermore, the community sensitization efforts had a significant impact, enhancing our awareness and vigilance against potential fraud. Overall, everything was satisfactory, and I did not identify specific areas that needed improvement."
