"In the upcoming year and beyond, my main priority will be to construct a decent house for my children, as their current living space is small. To make this vision a reality, I am counting on receiving my third transfer. I am filled with optimism and determination to achieve this goal. I am grateful for the progress I have already made, and I eagerly anticipate the future with a sense of gratitude and excitement."

"The most significant transformation in my daily life has been the opportunity to build a house and ensure an adequate supply of food. Prior to receiving the transfer from GiveDirectly, these were significant challenges for us due to financial constraints, especially considering our other obligations, such as paying for school fees. I will forever be grateful for the gift that has completely altered my life, giving me hope for a brighter future ahead."

"Upon receiving the first transfer, I immediately prioritized settling the numerous debts I had accumulated within the village. I allocated $100 towards clearing all outstanding dues, bringing a sense of relief and joy as I became debt-free. Additionally, my grandson was on the verge of joining junior secondary school, and I needed to ensure he had all the necessary supplies before his admission date. After careful budgeting, I spent $50 to provide him with a school uniform, books, and some pocket money, allowing him to start his new academic journey without any hindrances. In preparation for the upcoming farming season, I invested $24 in land preparation and planting maize, laying the foundation for a productive harvest. Finally, I used the remaining $50 to purchase maize, which currently serves as sustenance for my family of five. I am sincerely grateful for the support received and eagerly await the second transfer."

"I bought a cow because I can get milk and get another one when it gives birth"

"I have now bought land and whenever I see it I feel happy heart with my family. I almost lost my family in a landslide but now I have hope of relocating and I feed my family on time."

"With the construction of a new house to replace our existing one already in progress, my primary focus in the coming year and beyond is to enhance and improve our ongoing projects, particularly in the farming sector. These farming activities serve as not only a source of food for our family but also generate income that will assist in covering school fees and furthering the construction work. By dedicating my efforts to optimizing these existing projects, I aim to ensure their long-term success and sustainability, contributing to the overall improvement of our livelihood."

"GiveDirectly has implemented a remarkable project by providing us with financial support. Initially, the idea of receiving money was something we hadn't imagined, but it made a significant impact once we received the first transfer. I appreciate the opportunity given to me and my family to make our own decisions and plan accordingly on how to utilize the cash. However, I believe it would be beneficial if GiveDirectly could also consider supporting young families. These newly established households often face numerous responsibilities, particularly when they lack income-generating projects. Including them in the program would greatly assist them in meeting their needs and achieving financial stability at their early age instead of being dependent on their ageing parents."

"Looking towards the upcoming year and beyond, my objective is to venture into the cultivation of maize and tomatoes, recognizing their potential for higher profits. This endeavor serves as a stepping stone towards establishing a stable retail business in the future. The ultimate goal is to alleviate the financial burden of upcoming school fees. With optimism and perseverance, I believe that I can transform this vision into a tangible reality over time. As I reflect on my journey, I express deep gratitude for all that I have accomplished thus far."

"The organization showcased outstanding performance in delivering its messages and offering financial guidance. From the initial enrollment stages to the final phases, their execution was flawless. We were consistently treated with dignity and respect throughout the entire process. The organization consistently delivered exceptional services and ensured that our well-being was prioritized. Thus far, there have been no areas identified that require improvement on their part."

"Looking ahead, my future objective is to obtain a water tank that will allow me to store water for an extended period. Despite the presence of various financial responsibilities, I maintain a positive outlook, believing that my third transfer will bring favourable outcomes. I am genuinely grateful and satisfied with the progress we have achieved thus far on our journey."
