"In the coming year and beyond, I eagerly anticipate returning to school after having to drop out a year ago due to financial constraints arising from other household responsibilities. Thanks to GiveDirectly's remarkable support, I now have a promising milk-selling business that I started and have been funding informal saving groups. With the proceeds from these ventures, I am confident that I will be able to contribute towards paying part of my school fees, finally fulfilling my dream of completing my education."

"Give directly has helped us to find better lands for safety. With the money I can now buy land and build a house. It should continue supporting the people in need."

"As a parent, my heart is heavy knowing that my four children have not yet been able to attend school. The visible disappointment on their faces as they watch their peers going to school speaks volumes about their unhappiness. My main objective is to rectify this situation by diligently saving money from my transfers, which I plan to utilize for enrolling my children in school. I firmly believe that education is an essential foundation for success, and witnessing my children acquire the necessary skills in school will bring me immense joy."

"My goal is to invest in goats for rearing as they will help me generate more wealth as they reproduce. With a substantial herd of goats, I will have the opportunity to sell some and support the education of my three children, who are all still in primary school. I am grateful for the progress I have already made in my rearing journey, as I currently have 7 goats, two of which I acquired through previous transfers. Being a widow with no one else to support my children's educational needs, I am confident that this venture of goat rearing will prove to be a valuable source of income and stability for our family."

"With the current abundance of food, I hope to focus on supporting my children's education in the coming years without them missing out on learning. Rearing livestock has proven to be a fruitful endeavor, as I already have six goats acquired through past cash transfers. I am determined to continue expanding this venture, as it offers a promising path to financial stability and contributes to my family's well-being."

"My ultimate goal is to ensure that all my children receive a good education. Although I did not have the opportunity to study myself, I am determined to provide the best educational opportunities for my children. I firmly believe that education is not only about having financial resources but also about investing my heart and zeal into their learning journey. As my husband continues to support the family through his fishing, I will do everything in my power, including saving through self-help groups, to secure a bright future for our children. My greatest wish is to see them graduate from high school, at least, and excel in life."

"Given my current situation as a young person with a two-year-old toddler and a house help job in town, I am determined to build a strong financial foundation for my family's future. One of my main goals is to progress and increase my wealth. As part of this plan, I have already taken a step towards rearing goats. At the moment, I own three goats, and I understand their potential to multiply and grow my resources significantly. By allowing the goats to reproduce, I am confident that my wealth will steadily increase over time. This growth in resources will not only support my own needs but also enable me to provide for my younger siblings and my toddler."

"In light of the recent successful harvests, my focus now turns to supporting the education of my six children, all of whom are in primary school. To accomplish this, I aspire to keep livestock, such as goats and chickens, to build sustainable wealth. The ultimate goal is to sell some of these livestock to support my children's studies as education is crucial for their growth and success. The cash transfers have been instrumental in easing some of our immediate financial burdens, and I plan to use them wisely to invest in the education of my children and build a better future for our entire family."

"The biggest difference in my life has been the ability to secure a brighter future for my children. With the fees for their education covered, they have been able to continue their studies and pursue their dreams. After I divorced their father, he abandoned them, leaving me with the responsibility. My uncle had offered some support, but his passing left us in a dire situation, as my mentally disturbed mother required constant care. The financial burden was overwhelming, and I feared my children might have to drop out of school. However, with the support of GiveDirectly, I now have a renewed sense of hope and optimism for my children's future. I can envision them graduating and stepping into a world of endless possibilities, and that vision fills my heart with joy and gratitude."

"I hope to be a very stable person together with my family ,no debts, and hence peace of mind and health thinking"
