"I want to expand my farm to five aces of land in the near future. I love working hard because it pays a lot. So I'm looking forward to producing more cocoa in order to become the most successful business person in my town. I would like hire more on my farm to help reduce some hardships for them."

"I live in my father-in-law's house with my spouse and children. We all sleep in the same room. It has really been stressful for me .There is no peace and comfort living in the same place as my inlaws. Looking at the circumstances, we don't have any other area apart from their house. Upon receiving this cash transfer, we bought a few building materials. Our last transfer was spent on 2 bundles of zinc to complete the previous zinc we bought early from our money to proceed with the house."

"In the coming year and beyond, I would like to have a spacious house for my family of five since the current one is small in size. As my family grows, there is a need for sufficient space as well as privacy. Additionally, in case I have a visitor, I will not have to worry. I will also earn some respect from society at large. "

"Achieving financial stability that will allow me to cater to the needs of my five children is my ultimate goal. Having two of them in secondary school and the other two in elementary school, it is challenging to fully cover their education costs because I lack a stable source of income. This is why I want to start buying and rearing goats, as I can easily sell them later to support my children’s school cost. So far, am grateful for the cash transfers because they have ensured my children never miss a class. Am sure if it were not for the money, some of them would have dropped out. "

"I used portion of my fourth transfer to pay part payment for my land in Zwedru city and used the rest to improve my business"

"I hope to complete my house before this year end"

"Givedirectly brought financial support which has help us in building and improving our lives."

"GiveDirectly has blessed me; they have put so much joy in my heart. My children's education worried me a lot in the past, but GiveDirectly took a huge burden off my shoulders and I am so happy. GiveDirectly is the best organization I have ever heard of and seen; they have absolutely no bad name."

"My family has two main goals to achieve this year. Since my husband and I do not have a regular source of income, I hope to divert my transfer on paying school fees for my children. It will enable my children to have ample time in school to aid their learning. In addition, I hope to start a business buying and selling charcoal. Although it has a low net profit, I consider that better than just staying in the house doing nothing. I am so happy as a result of the transfers, I will start a venture that will earn me a living."

"I have been running a business dealing with the sale of clothes. When the year began, I developed a goal of venturing into other fast-moving businesses. I hope to accomplish my dream of starting up a vegetable-selling business. I am hopeful that when it succeeds, I shall realize an increased source of income. That will enable me to cater to my family's needs hence bettering their lives."
