My goal has always been the same. I have built my house and hoping to start a business. My children's school fees have also been paid. My dreams have come to reality through this cash transfer program.

Give directly has changed my life. Through the program, I was to earn a property that is going to last forever. I will like to give thanks to Givedirectly for their great help in my life.

I will use this money to make business. I want to sell dry goods and other parish-able items, like raw materials. The profits will be used to pay my children's schools fees for the next semester.

No not really. I have always dreamed about fixing my old house and that goal still stands today. It has been my primary goal. I am so happy to be a recipient of this GiveDirectly cash transfer program. I lost my husband few years ago and the responsibilities of taking care of our kids and their well been rest squarely on me. The condition of the house we are are currently living in is so terrible. My house leaks and this leakages cause me and my kids to suffer from cold. My biggest dream is to change the roof of my house and plaster the walls of my house. I have paid for the Zinc and Cement from my first and second transfers. I have also cash out my third transfer but want to us it to pay the workers who are going to fix my house. My kids wellbeing is my concern. Now I feel so satisfy that my goal of improving my house is becoming a reality. The workers are currently working on other houses here in the town. They have assured me that when they are done with the others, they are going to come and complete my house. This achievement brings me great joy.

In my opinion the enrollment processes are transparent. There are no biases. The staffs are also kind Everytime they visit us. There is no preferential treatment in the village from the staff. But the most important one is that GiveDirectly send us unconditional cash and allow us to spend the money how ever we want to better our lives. This guesture brings me the greatest joy. This is not normal of any NGO. I have seen other NGOs visit this county but their scope of operations has been nothing far from the traditional NGO. GiveDirectly is different! They are responsible for my life improvement and that my kids can today have a better living condition soon.

I received my third transfer and collected it. Since I collected my third transfer, I haven't spent anything from it. My brother, where I am now, I feel over excited. This is the biggest difference in my life. See the condition of my house. My kids suffer from cold most times due to the leakages from the old roof. Since my husband died, I have not had any help from anyone. I had no hope of getting this kind of money to change my life this way. I can't believe I am going to have an improve house soon. It is a dream come true for me to today be financially empower by GiveDirectly to decide on how best to change my own life. I still have the third transfer here with me. I bought some Zinc and Cement with my first and second transfers. I am now only waiting for the engineers to finish the neighbors work and come to mine. They are still busy on other neighbors project so I have to wait till they are done. After that, mine can start.

My primary goal is to complete the four bedrooms house that my house built before he die. I also want to put zinc over the house that am presently staying. My greatest challenge has my children school fees payment many times they put out of school for money which i feel disappointed about as a parent. I has been surviving on farm and a petty business that has to profit. Through Givedirectly all of my dreams has come to pass. I did pay my children school fees and also completing my project.

Givedirectly has done so much good things for me. Through Givedirectly transfer today my life has improve .

The money i received from Givedirectly, i used to buy (six) bundles of zinc for my both house. I aslo pay my children school fees and invested some in my business. I'm happy that my life is changing gradually through the help of Givedirectly program am very happy for my success.

It was a moment of unspeakable Joy for me. This is a life changing opportunity for my family. I was right here in this town when others started jubilating because they saw GiveDirectly cash transfer alert. After waiting patiently for my first transfer as mentioned by the GiveDirectly staff, I hurry to check my messages also. Surely! I saw the Cash transfer message. I lost my husband few years ago. 2017 to be exact. He was everything to this family. However, I took on all the responsibilities after his death. I have 7 children but amongst them, I have a daughter who is in the 12th grade. My daughter got her promotion to the 12th grade last school year. That was exciting but I was also worried on how I would pay her fees the next school year. I struggle to take care of my children as a single mother. I couldn't improve my house because all of what I could get went towards my kids school and feeding. With this cash transfer program, I can honestly say that I have some hope. I am sure that I am going to improve my family. My daughter school fees has also been paid and am working on the rest of my goals.

As a single mother it has been difficult to take care of my 7 children. Their feeding and well-being has been so difficult from a single mother perspective. I felt so stressed out. I could hardly eat and be happy. I struggled! But, the biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving transfer from GiveDirectly has been the relief of stress. I was able to pay my children school fees and buy some sheet of Zinc to change the roof of my house. Am amazed at this good guesture from GiveDirectly. This is a moment that I will never forget. These differences in my daily life has been something amazing and I am going to capitalize on this for the future of my kids.

I really do miss my dead husband. I now understand what men go through. I have to be strong and take care of my kids. With the first transfer that I received, I was able to pay my children, especiallly the School fees of my daughter who is in the 12th grade. I feel excited because she has done very well and brought proud to me and her late father. I bought the others kids their Uniform. Moreover, I bought two bundles of Zinc to improve my house. The roof of my house is currently a Tatch. It has been so deplorable to the extent we have to place dishes all over in all the rooms when it rains. It has been a goal for as well. The leakages to the roof of my house has been seriously bad. I am so excited to be empower and that the decision to change my life rest with me.
