"At first, I have been struggling to pay my children tuition but with the help of Give Directly's transfer, I was able to pay their tuition and my wife and I have invested a portion of our transfer in business as another source of income. Lastly, we are planning to build our own house with the balance transfer."

"I bought goods with a portion of the transfer and the balance was spent on zinc for my house project."

"My trustee had my phone when Give Directly sent my transfer, according to her, she heard rumours from some of the citizens in our village that Give Directly was sending our cash transfer that very day. Upon hearing the news, she ran to the network place. However, as soon as she arrived there she received the transfer and decided to call her brother to confirm because she cannot read or write. When her brother saw the message, he told her that it is the cash transfer that Give Directly has sent. I felt happy when she told me about the transfer because I have been suffering for a long time and I needed money to treat myself and renovate my house."

"My new goal I had was to buy my house materials to start my building process.From this transfer, I was able to buy house materials and a little portion for food. Before the Give Directly program, things was very hard on me and family but we are so thankful to Give Directly for us the poor people to restart our lives and for giving us a better life in this village. I am very happyy for this program, it is through this program I was able to send my children to school, feed my family and so many things."

"Yes my new plan I had was to buy cements, nails, planks and other materials to compete my house. I started my house project from the first and second transfer of cash that Give Directly gave us. I am so thankful to Give Directly for giving me a better life in this village. Could you imagined a very poor farmer building a modern house in this village, I'm so full of joy for this Give Directly cash transfer program. This program has saved us a lots and has helped us to better off our living conditions. My family and I, are so happy for this program."

"I did spend my most recent transfer on the purchase of goods. I am using this transfer to starting a business, in this way, I will be able to generate additional funding to sustain my household when the program is over or when the organization shall have left my community."

"I bought zinc and other building materials for the construction of my house. I have had no other source of livelihood but farming. From the sale of some of the yields from the farm, I am at least able to buy vita cube, salt and other household items. I am so happy that I am on this program. I am going to make a maximum use of it."

"GiveDirectly does well by going to every household in my community to determine whether they are eligible to be enrolled into the program. Just by doing that it helps in making sure that no household that is eligible is left out of the program. In my mind, I think GiveDirectly is doing excellent in its workings."

"Through the transfer, I was able to buy zinc and pay the hold year school fees for my children. Since I received the transfer, that there has been a lot of happiness in the home. The children are happy that they are back in school."

"I do not have any new goal set yet besides the one I am working to achieve. My plan is to complete the construction of my house. The first transfer helped me a lot in achieving most of my plans. Living in a thatch house is something that causes my children to get ill everytime especially during the rainy season. My children always suffer from cold. If I shall have completed the construction of the new house which will be roof with zinc, I believe that there will be a lot warmth and my children will not suffer from cold like before."
