"Now my biggest challenge is how to generate money from selling my goods to full build my own house and to continue my business." (Occupation: Small business)

"My plan for the cash is to pay my children's school fees and add up to my already dying business, once my business is up and running, i trust that i will be able to meet up with other household needs."

"I am a business woman, if I get this money from Give Directly, I will use it to buy more goods to sell." (Occupation: Small business)

""What I plan to do with my cash transfer is to build my own house on my husband family's land within this same town, I've been renting for long time, I and my husband's hustles can only earn little, when we brush the spot we burn the sticks and make charcoal/fire coal, then we plant crops, so the little money we get from the crops harvest and that of the coal sales aren't enough to build house, but can only help sustain the family. Another thing I have on mind is to do fish business which will help sustain the family and help support my children in school.""

"Receiving this money means my five children tuition will be paid in full and my wife will also become a business woman. My wife and I are blessed with five children but due to financial constraints, we have not been able to meet up with the obligation of their schooling. I lost my job about six years ago which was the only source of income for my family. As a result of this, my children had to drop out of school since we could no longer meet up with the demands of their schools. This situation has been very embarrassing for me and it makes me to feel sad everyday knowing that I am not able to meet the basic needs of my family. If I receive this cash transfer, i will make sure that all of my children tuitions are paid in full. I will also establish a business which will be taken care of by my wife to enable us have a stable income to meet our basic needs."

"If I'm successfully enrolled in to Give Directly's cash transfer program, I want to used some of the money to pay my children school fees because they are father less and that there is no one supporting them except me as a single mother. And if the money is enough to do other things, I will also used some to recondition my house especially the roof because since my husband built this house for me when he was still alive, we haven't changed anything on it due to the lack of money. I will also start up a business to enable me cater to my home interns of food and other needs of my children."

"If I'm successfully enrolled in to Give Directly's cash transfer program, I want to use some of the money to start a business through which I believe I will be able to send my children to school. I also want to used portion of the money to built my house for me and my family because we are yet to have our own house." (Occupation: Small business)

"If I receive this money from Givedirectly, I will use some to build my house and use the balance to start a business wich will bring so much joy to me. Although I make Cassava farm to sustain myself but the money I earn from from the farm is not enough to build house and start a business. The house I'm in now is my uncle house and I'm not comfortable living in his house. My former wife and I build a house and make large farm to her parents place but she left me for another man and drove me out of the house. I left with nothing and came back to my home town in 2019 to start a new life by making Cassava farm."

"None of my children are in school right now because no money to send them to school, I will use this money to pay their school fees, when they learned they will help us. My husband and I will build a new house and make business to improve our lives."

"I drop from school since 2019 and i want to go back to school. I plan to pay my school fees and start a business."
