"the goal that i didn't have before receiving the transfer was building a house, i never thought that i would ever build a house but the transfer helped me so much"

"the new goal that i did not have before receiving the transfer as to building a new house"

"My ambition is to bring back my business to life. I own a posho mill that I used to grind maize corn in a village, just some months ago it broke down. This machine enabled me to collect some money that assisted me in paying school fees for my kids and concurrently my villagers from walking long distances to search for the service. For that reason, I intend to use sixty thousand Kenya shillings to improve my business by purchasing maize Haller, and fifty thousand to repair the maize mill plant so that it can work as it was before."

"I have spent my recent transfer from GD to buy a bicycle so that it is easy for me to move from one place to another. I also used the money to buy some cloths since I did not have enough clothes"

". Yes I do have new goals that I did not have before receiving the money. My husband and I's new goal is to start a business. The money we have received is helping us invest in a business where by we shall be selling clothes in our area. We are hoping that the money will be able to pay our daughter's school fees the coming years. our daughter is in form 2 now in a school in Lilongwe."

"I plan to build another house and to send my children to school with my transfer. I have 7children and presently I am not working. I sometimes ride motorbike to get my children school fees and to support my family."

"I spent my most recent transfer to pay school fees for my children .My children were sent out of classes for tuitions payment. I spent some of my transfers to pay casual workers to saw planks for my house . I never had good mattress in my room . I spent my balance transfer to buy 18 inches mattress for my room. Thanks to Givedirectly for the kind gesture I believe that with my transfer, I am going to live a better life in this village ."

"My new goal I have set before receiving this transfer is to start selling cosmetic goods in my shop. I want to put stop completely to selling frozing fish and pig feet around the community. Selling frozen fish around is very challenging due to too much walking. I want to change from selling fish to selling cosmetics in my shop. I believe that through making business, I will be able to generate more money to paid my children school fees."

"I spent my most recent transfer to pay school fees for my son and buy 4 gallons of gasoline to start burning fire coal to sell. I am a widow, I have lot of responsibilities to carter to. I believe that through making business, I am going to generate money to take care of my family in the future. Thanks to Givedirectly for the cash support ."
