"In the next one year and beyond, my goal is to purchase a cow that will enable me to have milk for our daily consumption. To achieve this, my plan is to utilize the income I generate from my farming enterprise. I am immensely grateful for the support that ha impacted our living standards positively."

"Moving forward, my goal for the upcoming year and beyond is to purchase metal posts to replace the wooden ones on my land. To achieve this, I have devised a plan to utilize the income I earn from my motorbike work. I am immensely grateful for the support I have received, which has enabled life-changing transformation. I eagerly look forward to embarking on this positive journey ahead."

"I was at home,I feet so happy and gave thanked God for givedirectly .The first thing was to pay school fees for the children."

"Currently, I am raising goats, and I have a plan to expand my goat farming venture now that our household's food needs are well taken care of through successful farming. With seven children attending school, their education fees are a significant responsibility that falls on my shoulders. My income primarily comes from operating a small food kiosk, but unfortunately, it has not gained much traction, resulting in low profits. Previously, my husband had been the main breadwinner, but due to an accident, he can no longer work, compelling me to step in and assist with the family's financial needs. I am concerned about the challenges of funding my children's further education when the time comes. To secure my children's future education, I have decided to invest my transfers in acquiring more goats in the upcoming year and beyond."

"In my final year of school, my primary objective is to eliminate the $50 debt that I currently owe. This will bring me immense relief and peace of mind, knowing that I am debt-free. After settling my school fees, my plan is to utilize future transfers to venture into livestock investment. As of now, I already possess two hens that I acquired using some of the transferred money, and I intend to expand my livestock holdings in the near future. As the livestock population grows, I will sell some of them to generate additional funds for my personal needs and aspirations."

"Receiving the second cash transfer from GiveDirectly was an answered prayer, a lifeline that turned our lives around. With the money in my hands, I wasted no time in settling the pressing matters that burdened our family. My heart swelled with joy as I paid off the $80 school fee arrears that had kept my five children out of school. Seeing them walk through those school gates again filled me with immense pride and hope for their future. Thereafter, I turned my attention to my husband's trusty motorbike, which had been the backbone of our livelihood. With $200, I had it serviced and repaired, restoring its former reliability. My husband's business of supplying charcoals to clients could now thrive once more, ensuring a steady income for our family. Feeling empowered by this newfound financial security, I made some thoughtful investments for our future. I bought three goats for $150, providing a source of sustenance and growth potential. Additionally, I bought a nice bed for $70, something we had long dreamt of but never could afford. As the days passed, I continued to manage the remaining amount prudently, saving it for our family's daily needs and unexpected expenses that life may throw our way."

"I wholeheartedly support the GiveDirectly program, for it is a remarkably well-thought-out initiative. Providing individuals with money unconditionally empowers recipients to address their most pressing needs as they see fit. The freedom to decide how to utilize the funds is a testament to the program's trust in our judgment. Moreover, the periodic follow-up from the organization reaffirms that we are cared for and that they have a genuine concern for our well-being. Knowing that they have our best interests at heart fills us with gratitude and hope for a brighter future."

"I have been depending on my husband as the primary breadwinner for our family. However, his income from casual construction jobs is unpredictable and unreliable, causing financial stress in our household. To alleviate this, I took a job as a housekeeper in the hopes that it would provide some relief, but the pay is low. To improve our financial stability, I have set a goal to start a food kiosk in the nearest town center. I plan to save some money and combine it with my monthly transfers to fund this venture. By doing so, I believe the food kiosk will supplement our income and meet our needs more easily, thanks to the profits it will generate. My ultimate aim is to establish a sustainable source of income that will support us in the coming year and beyond, making the food kiosk a crucial step towards achieving this goal."

"I bought a cow worthy 1500000, paid school fees 300000, I also bought onio seeds worthy 250000. Ballance is kept for home upkeep."

"This year and beyond, my primary objective is to make significant investments in livestock, particularly in goats. By doing so, I aim to establish a reliable income stream that can cater to my present and future needs, which I'm currently struggling to meet. Goats appeal to me as an ideal choice for investment due to their easy availability, rapid reproduction rates, and promising potential for generating favorable returns."
