"GiveDirectly, in my view, is a company that changes people's lives. It arrived to help us escape our current state of destitution and move us to a level where we can also recognize ourselves as human beings. As opposed to forcing individuals to do things they don't want to do, cash transfers let people select what they want to do. This is why I am a major supporter."

"The construction of my house, which I had begun with the first transfer, needed to be finished as soon as I received the second one. As a result, I spent less money on various building supplies which were less, such as 16 pieces of iron sheeting for $144, some roofing timbers for $90, and nails for $50, and I gave the contractor $100. I'm glad that my family can now live comfortably in a wonderful, roomy three-room mud-walled house now that it is finished. Then, for $145, I purchased two mattresses. Considering that my granddaughters and I once slept on a sisal rope bed with ripped matting. Currently, we are appreciative of the comfortable beds we have. I also spent $70 on a burglary door as a precaution. I bought some food for my family with the balance. Although life was difficult before, I am now appreciative of the cash transfer. In contrast to before, when we frequently ate only in the evenings owing to a lack of food and occasionally went for at least two days a week without meals, it has helped us and enabled us to receive some meals daily."

"I have plans to expand my business into a bigger enterprise that will serve at least three more villages by the end of this year. To achieve this goal, I am currently searching for a larger business premise to sell my products from. Expanding my business means I will have more customers and, in turn, more income. This will make me financially stable and able to meet my family's needs. I am thankful for the financial boost from the organization that has helped me improve my life and escape poverty."

"My family of seven lived in a very small house that had become too old and unsafe to live in; the roof had worn out, and we could no longer withstand the terrible weather conditions. So, with my second transfer, I resolved to construct a new home for us that was ample, safe, and secure. After finishing the house and purchasing all of the necessary furnishings and utensils, I had approximately $20 left over, which I used to fix my old sewing machine so that I can resume tailoring and clothing production for business."

"Due to the harsh weather conditions, the farm that has been my primary source of income is no longer productive. As a result, I am seeking a new and stable source of income. I am considering venturing into the livestock rearing and selling business as an alternative source of income. This would involve buying young goats at a lower price and selling them for a higher price in the market. I am optimistic that the monthly transfers I receive can be used wisely to invest in this new venture. With careful planning and smart investments, I believe I can successfully build a profitable business. Ultimately, this new income stream will provide a greater level of financial stability for myself and my family"

"My wife has been sick for the past few months. She was poisoned, which resulted in her illness. I carried her to the sick bush for treatment but she is yet to recover. I'm a fisherman . All my little money from my business was spent on her illness. Givedirectly cash helped me to relocate her to another area in Ivroycoast to seek another herbalist who could treat her completely. With the help of God's grace, she is responding to treatment. The remaining money I purchase some fishing nets to catch some fish for sustainability."

"I'm a mother of 5 beautiful children . We all live in the same house. I'm also a business woman and a farmer who has tirelessly been working hard to care for my family. The house we currently live in was not built complely due to some financial constraints on the family. Givedirectly help made me to plaster my entire house both inside and outside and I was able to purchase some furniture for the house. I also invested some of the cash into my business."

"Where we currently live is very far from the city. Our children are not in good school to acquire quality education because of the school system in the town. There are no qualifier instructions that we trust with our children's education. I wasn't fortunate to acquire education at my age . For these reasons, we intend to relocate my family to the city for a better future. Our transfer was spent on building a home in the city for the betterment of the family."

"I want to build a new house for my family, currently the house we are living in isn't in good condition.now that we are in the rainy season , the leakage on the house isn't easy.so I have decided to used all of my transfers to building a decent house."

"Am planning on investing it in buying more goods for my business in the town."
