"My main goal is to acquire all the necessary building materials for constructing a new, durable house, which for now I have successfully acquired 30 building poles with hopes that soon I will be able to acquire all of them since the recent heavy rains have left me feeling unsafe residing in the current house, as it is at risk of collapsing at any moment. I aim to construct a resilient dwelling that can withstand adverse weather conditions. I am delighted and hopeful that with the financial assistance from the transfers, I will be able to realize my ambition of building a quality home for myself."

"What I wish for is for my four children to study up to their desired level of education. However, since I lack a reliable source of income, am worried that if I do not establish an investment out of the transfer, I may not be able to finance their education. Through future cash transfers, I have been able to acquire goat this quarter and hoping to buy more through the transfer. Am confident that when these animals increase in number it will increase wealth. In the future, I can sell them to support my children."

"With the help of the monthly transfers I received from Give Directly, I embarked on constructing a two-room house. Utilizing old pieces of iron sheeting salvaged from my previous collapsed house, I managed to roof one of the rooms partially. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, the other room remains unfinished as I lack the funds to purchase the necessary 12 iron sheets. However, I am determined to achieve my goal by saving enough money through a savings group, which will allow me to buy the required iron sheets and complete the construction of my house. I also wish to educate my children so that when they finish school and secure jobs they will help me."

"In the coming year and beyond, my ambition is to build a sustainable future by investing in livestock, particularly goats. Goats, with their affordability, ease of maintenance, and lucrative market demand, stand as a beacon of opportunity. Through dedication, diligence, and a steadfast commitment to my goals, I aspire to cultivate a thriving herd that will enable me secures financial stability."

"I could have spent the transfers on food, but what happens when the transfers end? I may not have something to fall back on for provision. Besides, my husband, who is the sole provider, is advancing in age, and it will be challenging for him to engage in work in the future. This is why I plan on rearing livestock, such as goats. I believe that they will equip me with enough wealth to support the education of my children even past the transfer period."

"My goal is to build a rental space. Since my home is positioned on the road, next to the school and the trade center, I anticipate that the rental space will be beneficial. I have already started making bricks for the house using money from the previous transfers. I want to have three rooms in the rental space. With a rental rate of around $20 per month, I anticipate that I will be earning at least $60 per month if all three rooms are occupied. This amount will help me support the education of my three children and provide for their basic needs."

"I have always wanted to build a new house, but school fees for my five children have constrained me. Additionally, the living I make from making charcoal is barely sufficient. The current house I have is in poor condition, with mud walls disintegrating and most of the walls falling. I pray that even as I support the education of my children through the transfers, I will be able to set aside some transfer funds to start building a house. I would be happy if I could build a two-room one, even if it is made of mud walls and an iron sheet roof. It would be a significant upgrade from the current one."

"I am truly grateful for everything about GiveDirectly's programs. Their transparency has been remarkable, making the entire process run smoothly. From start to finish, I've been impressed by their honesty and integrity. I have no recommendations for improvement because I believe they're already doing an outstanding job. The change they've brought to my life has been immense, and for that, I am incredibly thankful. GiveDirectly has made a real difference, providing support and opportunity where it's needed most."

"GiveDirectly has truly been a game-changer for me. Thanks to their unconditional cash transfers, I've been able to achieve significant milestones. I've paid my son's university fees, and now he's on the brink of graduation. This accomplishment fills me with immense pride and gratitude. With the financial assistance from GiveDirectly, I ventured into farming, focusing on a crop that I'm truly passionate about: papaya. Through dedication and hard work, I've turned my passion into a thriving venture. Planting papaya has not only provided me with a source of income but has also brought me joy and fulfillment. As I reflect on my journey with GiveDirectly, I can confidently say that I support all their current programs wholeheartedly. Their approach of providing unconditional cash transfers has proven to be effective and impactful. I have no recommendations for change because I believe in the power of their initiatives to uplift individuals and communities, just like mine."

"My objective is to launch a goat-rearing business, which shows significant potential, particularly if the goats multiply successfully. This venture is perfectly suited to our region, and if it prospers, I intend to exchange some goats for a cow. I will utilize the saved transfers to start this business. Having an extra source of income will guarantee the well-being of my family and allow me to provide a comfortable education for my children. I am deeply grateful for the chance to participate in this program as it has changed my life for the better."
