"Receiving this money means that my life will change for the better. I plan to purchase a pair of oxen for ploughing my farm and those of my neighbours for a fee. I will also replace my grass thatched house for an iron roofed one. My other plan is to engage in livestock business that can guarantee a continuous source of income. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to purchase livestock for rearing.Once they start reproducing, I will then engage in the livestock trade business which is very viable in our village. The income earned will then enable me to to take care of my family."

"Receiving this money means that I will buy oxen and start a shop business for my son. I will use these cows to plough four acres of land instead of two. I will also use them for business purposes. This will increase food security and boost the family's income."

"Receiving this money means a big financial relief to me. I shall spend the money to build a new house, expand my business as well as paying fee to my grandchild." (Occupation: Small business)

"Reason why I prioritize my plans the way I did is because, I used borrow money from friends, where I ended up having huge debts, from transfers I will add stock which is shoes, that will increase my profit, this will enable me to pay debts and save, second priority will be livestock which will be poultry keeping, in this business it usually grows first in terms of number chicken increase and other demand such as eggs,third priority will be pay school fees for my child, because I used to have had time to convince teacher to give me sometime to pay fee because I hate seeing my child being send at home."

"I prioritize like that because currently am selling clothes and I believe it can help me especially getting income so if I get this transfer I will invest it in that current business so that I can be stable and get income. Secondly, I will also use part of it to pay rent so that at least I can have peace while in the house without landlord disturbances and lastly, I will buy other household goods and personal belongings that I currently lack in my house. "

"I like fashion alot and have been thinking of running a boutique for a long time and because didn't have the income I had to kind of put it at bay, and as for now have gotten the money I will invest in this business. Right now am of age as per my tradition and I feel embarrassed that I do not have a roof on my head in a way that everytime I go home(shags) I always borrow somewhere to sleep due to this I want to build a house for myself. My mother is widow and sometimes getting finances to facilitate my sister's education is a challenge so I would want to give a hand."

"With this money that Give Directly is giving me, i will prioritize repairing my laptop because its a major tool that gives me money through transcriptions. I will by a new battery for the laptop so that i can be able to work even when there is no power. Secondly, i run a business of selling new clothes within my neighbourhood. I would like to purchase more stock especially now that we heading towards the festive seasons and business always booms around this time. Lastly, saving for my child is another thing i will want to accomplish. Secondary school is expensive and by saving now for her school fees it will save me the struggle ahead."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am staying a happy life with a lot of hope unlike before because I did not have someone to lean on financially since I am a widow. I am very proud GD gave me money and I am going to build a decent and spacious house. I am also having the hope to starting a household business hence I will have as source of income."

"I spent my transfer on buying a water pump because it will help me in vegetable cultivation business. I also paid school fees for my daughter who is in Secondary School because I did not want her to be sent home for the fee balance."
