"I used my recent transfer to start a new business to sustain my family after Givedirectly shall have left my community. I think God that I can now handle my own money and the profit i generate per day helps with our daily meals."

"Things have been a bit difficult for my family. To plaster my house and pay my children fees have been one of the major cause of my worries. I am a farmer. I make farm and the produce from it is what I use to support my children in school. I have been planning to plaster my house but my financial strength could not permitt me. As God could have it, GiveDirectly came to our town and I was enrolled on it's program. I was so happy when I received my transfer.Due to the difficulties I been through financially, I decided to use my transfer to plaster my house and pay my children school fees for a better future."

"I don't have any new goals. I built a house before but it broke down. My goal has been to build a new house. I live in my mother house. I am a business woman. I sell fish for a living. My business was going good at first. But lately things started to go bad for me. Business started to move slow. Then GiveDirectly came to my town.I was overwhelmed when I received my transfer. I am grateful that my life will get better after receiving all of my transfers."

"No! My old goal is to build my house. I am a single mother. About 6 months ago my baby father left me and our young baby and went to work. I haven't heard from him since then. I have been struggling with my daughter alone. I live in my fathers house. Things started to get difficult for us. My father sometimes helps me cater to me and my daughter. I am grateful to be enrolled on the GiveDirectly cash program. Being on this program our lives will improve for the best."

"I have been having so many problems that I could not handle because I had no money. But when GiveDirectly came to my town, after I was enrolled on this program and I started to receive such amount of money my life has totally changed for good. I am with smile on my face every morning when I see my kids leaving for school. I am also happy to see my house project almost being finished."

"I live in my mothers house with my children. I am a business woman. My business wasn't moving so well.Things started to get difficult for us. I could hardly afford to feed my children or pay their tuition. The moment I received my transfer was one of the best moments of my life. I was so excited. I am grateful for this amazing opportunity. With this program, hopefully after receiving all of the transfers my dreams will become a reality. I have not withdrawn my money. I am planning on paying my children tuition. I am also planning on building my own house so that my family can have a decent place to stay."

"My money was spend on building materials such as zinc, Cements and gasoline."

"I used all of my money on my building materials Zinc and others."

"The biggest difference in my life right now Im a business person, I able to provide for myself now."

"By 5am while I was still in bed my bedroom, I received a mobile money transfer from GiveDirectly. I shouted and danced all around the room because with this transfer, I've realized that I could buy zinc and start my house project which has been one of my greatest desires. Additionally, I would also begin my new business by buying and selling bedspread. This would also serve as another source of income to improve my livelihood. I'm grateful to God and thanked GD for the great change they've brought in my life."
