"In the upcoming year, my aspirations are threefold: to construct a bigger and more comfortable house for my family, expand my goat herd, and ensure my children receive a good education. To attain these goals, I am determined to save diligently from the earnings of my casual jobs, and I also place my faith in the belief that God will guide and provide for us. Reflecting on my journey so far, I am content and grateful for what I have achieved. The progress I've made fills me with hope and optimism for the future. With perseverance and a strong belief in myself, I am confident that I can turn these dreams into tangible realities for the betterment of my family's life."

"The assistance provided by the organization has left me profoundly grateful, as they generously provided us with much-needed financial resources. During their visit to our village, they took the time to ensure that we thoroughly understood the program and how it would benefit us. The field officers conducted the household visits with utmost professionalism, leaving us feeling satisfied and filled with happiness. Their approach has made a significant positive impact on our lives, and we are genuinely appreciative of the support we received."

"The impact of GiveDirectly assistance on my village mates' lives has been truly remarkable. It brings me great joy and happiness, and I am at a loss for words to express my gratitude. The organization's approach to empowering both the young and the elderly, without any discrimination, is commendable. The field officers dedicated their time to visit each household personally, meticulously examining the living conditions without relying on hearsay or grapevine information. This thorough and inclusive approach has made a significant difference, leaving a positive and lasting impression on our community."

"I am immensely thankful for the support I received, as it has had a profound impact on my life. Dealing with financial constraints and unpredictable weather patterns in our region made it difficult for me to set clear goals. However, the assistance I received, particularly the generous aid that significantly boosted my income, has been a tremendous blessing. It has provided me with newfound hope and opportunities for a better future, and for that, I am truly grateful."

"My aspiration was to buy a motorcycle to provide my husband with a reliable source of income. He used to rely on a rented motorcycle, which often left us with little earnings due to the tough economic times we faced. However, financial constraints made it challenging to realize this dream, as I earned a living by selling eggs while he worked as a motorcycle rider. Fortunately, my situation improved when I received a second transfer. With this money, I was able to purchase a second-hand motorcycle worth $420, which brought us hope for a more stable income. In addition to the motorcycle, I used a portion of the funds to pay off a $40 debt that had been lingering. This brought some relief to our financial burden. The remaining amount was wisely used to buy essential food supplies for our family. The positive impact of the transfer from GiveDirectly on my standard of living cannot be overstated. As a married individual blessed with two children, I am overjoyed and deeply grateful for the significant improvement it has brought to our lives. The motorcycle has allowed my husband to break free from the cycle of dependence on rented vehicles, and it has given us the opportunity to work towards a more prosperous future."

"The transformation in my daily life has been truly remarkable, and the most significant change is that I was finally able to fence my land. Despite wanting to do it earlier, financial limitations held me back. But now, achieving this goal has brought me immense joy and satisfaction. Secondly, I am filled with contentment and relief knowing that I have been able to purchase an ample supply of food for my household. No longer will we have to endure the feeling of an empty stomach. The wonderful gift I received has had a profound impact on my life, and I will forever be grateful for it. It has allowed me to fulfill important needs and secure a better future for myself and my family. The sense of accomplishment and gratitude I feel is immeasurable, and I am excited about the positive changes that lie ahead."

"Upon receiving my transfer, I made a strategic decision to invest $200 in purchasing four goats to add to my existing stock. I knew that this would boost my income significantly. Additionally, I spent $170 to purchase essential food supplies and wisely set aside $50 for daily expenses. As I've grown older, I lack the energy to engage in strenuous work, so I now focus on caring for my goats. Living alone since the passing of my wife long ago, I find contentment in the accomplishments I have achieved thus far. I firmly believe that these steps have had a profound positive impact on my life, for which I am sincerely grateful. The newfound financial stability and companionship with my goats have brought a sense of fulfillment and peace during this phase of my life."

"My utmost priority was to provide my family with a decent home, as our previous one was small and had a grass-thatched roof. However, financial constraints had made it impossible for me to construct a suitable dwelling. As a single mother of three children, I rely on available casual work in the village to make ends meet. After receiving the funds, I immediately spent $255 towards building a new house. With the remaining amount, I purchased essential food supplies. I am incredibly grateful and relieved that I could realize this dream in such a short period of time. Now, my children have a safe and comfortable place to sleep, which fills me with immense happiness and fulfillment. This positive change in our living conditions has brought a sense of security and contentment to our lives."

"Buying a piece of land"

"My future goal is to continue buying goats until I have a total of six, and then I will consider purchasing a cow as well. I am filled with joy and gratitude for the cash transfers, and I pray that God blesses the organization abundantly for the assistance it has provided. The transfers have opened up new possibilities for my family, allowing me to own livestock and pay tuition for the children, and I am hopeful for a brighter future ahead. Thank you once again for this opportunity."
