"From my perspective, the support extended by GiveDirectly has had a remarkable and favorable effect on our standard of living, leading to a life-changing transformation. The most remarkable aspect of the program, for me, was the unrestricted nature of the transfer, which allowed us to utilize the funds as we saw fit. I have no reservations or concerns about any aspect of the program's implementation or credibility."

"My top priority after receiving the third transfer was to build a house for my children. This would provide them with a comfortable sleeping space and a quiet area for studying, which was previously impossible as I relied on herding animals and my wife worked as a farmer. My hand deformity prevented me from taking up casual jobs. I have six children. Therefore, I spent $300 on building the house with the transfer. Additionally, I allocated $150 to pay for my children's school fees. The assistance from GiveDirectly has transformed our lives tremendously, enabling us to achieve what was once beyond our reach. We are extremely grateful for their support."

"I hope to get a new home for my family, at least my life will change, because I Will be leaving from a palm thatch house to a zinc house. I'm so excited for this change."

"I used the initial transfer in a number of ways to meet the needs of my family and to invest in my future. I spent $36 on dried maize grains for food, which I planned to use with my family of nine. In addition, I spent $14 on corn seeds, which I subsequently planted on the field I was preparing on the day I got the transfer. I am relieved that the farm is doing well with the arrival of rain, which I believe will aid in germination and development. I also paid $100 in school fees as an investment in my children's education. In addition, as kids were returning to school, I spent $10 on school supplies for them. In addition to these charges, I spent $10 on kitchenware to better your family's living conditions and paid off a $50 loan, and spent $5 on transportation."

"Since receiving the first transfer, the biggest difference in your daily life has been my ability to provide adequate food for my children. The financial support received has allowed me to purchase enough food to meet my family's needs, which had been a challenge before. Additionally, the transfer has enabled me to secure an acre of land, which I am currently preparing for plantation. This new acquisition could potentially provide a source of income and an additional food supply, contributing to an overall improvement in my family's well-being."

"I hope to continue my education in the coming year, I was in the 8th grade and dropped out of school, because my supporter passed away. Givedirectly have make my dream of going back to school come to pass. I saved my transfers to enable me enroll back in school next academic school year."

"I'm hoping to relocate my entire family to the city to continue their education because where we are currently living, there is no school for the kids. I want to see them become future leaders of tomorrow."

"Givedirectly impacted our lives so much to the extent that we are now able to care for ourselves and family. What I would like them do is help other parts of the country as well."

"All my life I have always dreamt of producing a cocoa plantation but couldn't afford financially to purchase larger farm land for such investments. I have been trying with the little farm we produce each year to raise some cash for this investment. My first transfer, we purchased a larger portion of farm land alone with enough crops and were able to pay workers to cultivate the land."

"I bought one and half bundles of zinc . I also paid the person thst saw my planks and I bought gas for the power saw that was used to saw the planks."
