"Givedirectly has helped to change our living conditions. I couldn't afford to construct a modern building at the time. Givedirectly has empowered me financially and now I am in the position to do so."

"Yes, I have new goals that I didn't have before. My new goals was to complete my house construction, and fund my wife education. Because, for too long I have been living in rental house. With the help of GiveDirectly financial assistance I completed my house. I will be able to save sufficient finance that I can used to cover the cost of my family basic needs."

"Our new goal is to buy another cow. We had bought a cow and its calf with the first transfer but unfortunately, the calf died and the cow refused to be milked anymore. We hence would like to buy another cow so that we can get more milk that we can sell and use the money on other important things such as paying school fees for the children."

"I am so grateful that I got enrolled in the GiveDirectly cash program. This is an amazing opportunity to improve our lives. I was happy when I received my money. Hopefully after receiving all the transfers things will get better. I used some of my money to buy a new mattress. I also bought a bag of rice and some other food items. I have been fishing my entire life. Things hasn't been going so well. Due to the lack of money things have been a bit difficult for my family. I am excited to be on this program."

"Our new goal is to buy a cow. We want to buy one so that we can get milk for our consumption and for sale. We managed to buy a calf with the first transfer. We use to have a cow before but it was not ours. We had borrowed someone. It has always been our wish to have our own but we did not have the money to buy one. We had bought some sheep with the second transfer. We plan to sell some of them when they will have multiplied in number and use the money in buying a cow."
