"I am wholeheartedly committed to securing my children's education, and I have devised a strategic plan on how to make sure my children are in school. I have become part of a merry-go-round savings group, a thrilling financial endeavor. Within this circle, we pool our resources, taking turns to fund our children's schooling. Thank you so much GiveDirectly for everything and for the support you have given me. I can now easily think of ways to brighten my future and my children's future."

"The biggest difference in my daily life ever since I started receiving these transfers is that I am growing towards being independent financially. Once I am done with the construction of my fence then I will embark on using all the remaining amount of money towards purchasing goats for keeping. The goats will be a huge investment for me and my family and will help a great deal in future. This will also mean I cease relying on odd casual jobs to make ends meet and I will start embarking on rearing my goats."

"My primary aspiration centers around the construction of a new home. Our current dwelling is in a dismal state, and it's become increasingly evident that we need a safe and comfortable space to live in. The prospect of building a new house represents not just a change in our physical surroundings but a significant step toward improved living conditions and overall well-being for my family. With each passing day, I am reminded of the brighter, more stable future that awaits my family once I achieve this goal, and it fills me with hope and determination."

"Everything GD does is okay. You've done the best for me."

"My foremost ambition is to purchase goats. However, before I can embark on this endeavor, I must first complete the ongoing project of adding another room to my house. This expansion is crucial for accommodating my growing family and creating a comfortable living space. Once this project is successfully concluded, I eagerly anticipate the prospect of acquiring goats. These animals represent more than just an investment; they signify increased financial stability, a means to provide for my family, and the potential for sustainable growth."

"My aspiration is to become the proud owner of a small herd of goats. These goats will be more than just livestock; they will serve as a financial safety net in times of need. I envision them as a source of stability and a resilient asset that can help me overcome any unexpected financial constraints that life may throw my way. With dedication and careful planning, I aim to build a sustainable goat-raising venture that not only supports me but also provides valuable resources for my family's well-being."

"Lack of reliable source of income is the challenge I am currently facing in life. I do casual jobs earning very little income and sometimes I do not get any job for the whole month. Last year I developed harnia problem and due to financial constraints I have not got any medication."

"My husband and I are having health issues. I suffer from ulcers and this has affected me for almost five years now. The husband got an accident and broke one of the bones on his right leg and he cannot stand up on his own. The health complications has affected my work because I can engage myself on hard activities and I also do nurse my husband every day."

"I had my phone with me that day when the message arrived, around 2:00 p.m. I was in my usual routine, tending to my crops on the farm, when I heard the message notification. A rush of excitement surged through me, and I couldn't contain my joy. I had to leave the fields and hurry back home, eager to share the wonderful news with my family later in the evening. It was a moment filled with hope and anticipation for better days ahead."

"I am truly grateful that I was able to make significant changes in my life with the first transfer from GiveDirectly. However, the most profound transformation has been the replacement of my old, worn-out sleeping arrangements with a comfortable bed and mattress. This upgrade has had an immense impact on my daily life, particularly in terms of my sleep quality."
