"My new goal is to invest in livestock specifically goats. I chose goats over cows because goats can survive without water for a longer time compared to cows. Through this investment, I will be able to cater to my children's education as well as their basic needs."

"Late last year, I made the decision to join a savings committee where we gave money to one individual each month so they could make a significant difference in their lives. When it is eventually my turn to receive the funds from the committee, I am hoping to use them to purchase a few farm animals, ideally goats, chickens, and possibly a cow as well, but I'm not sure because livestock is very pricey. After that, I'm also going to use the money I get from the charity to pay my grandkids' tuition since after their father passed away a few years ago, my daughter, who is also their mother, lost her job, and it's been incredibly difficult for her to support her children. I consequently made the decision to help her pay for her tuition because she is unable to accomplish anything on her own."

"I would like to open another business and sell new clothes, and fabrics. I would also like to buy a dairy cow that will help me sell milk and increase my sources of income."

"I embody the positive transformation that has been witnessed with the organization's return to our town and the associated funding. Before the year was over, I managed to start a business selling groceries to assist me provide for my family. I had been saving money during the months. This year, I want to make sure that I use the funding I will continue to get to make my company more successful and sustainable. After that, I was also expecting to utilize the money to purchase a few farm animals, especially goats and chickens as they are less expensive than cows."

"My hope is to buy a 2 acre piece of land for my children . It costs $1200 and I have only paid $150 .I'm so worried because the owner is on my neck for me to complete it's payment . I had even wanted to sell my cow to pay for it but the amount is way too little to make a difference . I have to clear school fees balance for my children and that is what I'm concentrating on right now . I really do not know how I will pay this debt , I even regret why I started paying for that land ."

"I intend to join a merry-go-round and save money which I will later on use to purchase a dairy cow. I feel that with such an investment, I will get a guaranteed source of income from selling milk at the dairy and be able to provide for my family with much ease."

"This program has brought quite a significant change into my life and I am honestly going to be forever grateful. Through the funds I was finally able to build myself quite a comfortable house which I am proud of, especially since it had been a long dream of mine to finally build a better home for myself and my family. Now that I am done with the house I plan on investing in buying a couple of goats and poultry since they are quite cheaper compared to cows. I also happen to own a business where I sell 13th and groceries at one of my friends' stalls. I will also use some part of the money to ensure that I keep my business afloat."

"Give Directly did more good than bad . Infact 99% was perfect . You have helped people in my village to buy cows , pay school fees and build presentable houses . Thank you so much . But one thing that I felt you did not do right is that you did not give transfers to 2 people in our village who are living with disabilities . One has an ID and another on is a minor . You should work on your selection criteria to include such people , please ."

"Give Directly does well to give people money for them to use it on whatever they choose . By so doing , it has eradicated poverty in this village . We really appreciate because we have manage to pay school fees for our children and also bought cows . Our children no longer stay at home due to school fees balances . There is nothing you are not doing right , everything about Give Directly is just good ."

"Give Directly does everything well . You have created a direct link with residents . You always come directly to the ground to explain to us about your projects and good intentions , which clears any fears and doubts that we could be having about you . You have given us non refundable money which has helped us to do several developments in this village . Personally I have bought a mattress , a bed and a cow , these are things that I never knew I would buy . There is nothing to improve on , just continue helping people ."
