"What GiveDirectly have done for me is unbelievable. I have been on people's canoes fishing throughout but the help of Givedirectly unconditional cash transfer made me to buy a canoe of my own. I am so much blessed and happy. Therefore, I have not seen anything that is not done well by GiveDirectly since it's existence in my village. I just want to thank GiveDirectly for this help given to me change my life positively."

"Before receiving this transfer, I have had this goal of improving my dry goods business. It is a business that I have been doing for long now. But I have not been able to expand it, due to insufficient money. My husband has been the one mostly providing for our household. He used to fishing to support our six children and me at home. Now, he's sick and is in the sick bush. I am left with all the household responsibilities and to care for him. Therefore, it is my plan to buy more goods to improve my income from the last transfer received and take good care of my family."

"I have this goal of starting a fishing business. It is not really a new goal for me. This goal of establishing my own fishing business dated as far back in 2012. All along, I have been canoe helper. And I feel tire some days of continuously working for people. I have my woman and four living children to care for. So, I have been keeping my transfers, from the first to the last, to buy canoe and fishing net to start my own business."

"No. My plans, as a fisherman, were to buy more nets for fishing, send my children to school, buy some household utensils and buy a new motor bike for commercial purpose. I was unable to afford all these goals due to financial difficulties. With the help of GiveDirectly financial assistance, I have achieved all these goals within just few months. My eight children are now in school, I have a lot of fishing nets currently and my household now have enough utensils. Also, I just achieved my last goal from my last transfer by purchasing a new motorbike for commercial purpose in order to sustain my family and I."

"My previous goal remains which is my house project that is still in progress. Additionally, I bought a fishing net to enable me sustain my family through fishing."

"I don't having new goals before receiving this transfer I'm sticking to my previous plan which had to do with purchasing of fishing net and selling of coconuts."

"Givedirectly doing great things for me and my family.i been living on farming and fishing just to provide for my family. I had no husband to help me with the children's tuition. They had been out of school for the past three years ago. With this transfer I'm able now to get them back to school. I'm so appreciative to give directly for their of of support towards me and my family."

"Through the help of Givedirectly, I have been feeling so fine in my heart because life has not been easy for me and my family over the passed years because of poverty. I am having four children that are in school. I was so much happy happy when I receive my first transfer from GiveDirectly. I have built one big house that my family and I are staying in but it is incomplete. Through the first transfer, I was able to buy 10 bags of cement to plaster my house with one mattress to sleep on along with a bag of rice for the feeding of my family. When I receive my second transfer, I was able to buy a one floor mat to cover the ground in my room. The floor have not been fixed because of no money. I also used portion of the second transfer to buy fishing nets to empower myself in the future and save money to sustain me and my family."

"No! I have no new goals. My old goal has been to see my children becoming future leaders. I have also been want I to build a new house because our house is not in a good condition. I am a fisherman. After fishing I take the fish to markets to sell. Sometimes I make little or no money. It's hardly enough to cater to my family needs. I was so happy when I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly. Our lives will now get better."

"My previous plans have been building a new house. The house that I'm living in right now can no more contained I and my family because of the capacity. I have twelve children and we are living in a three bed rooms house with tarch. I want to build another house which will be four bed rooms house. I am building this house so that my family and I can live a comfortable life. I was selling a table market but it broke down due to lack of money. My old husband had to cut palms and fishing before providing for us."
