"*To me Give Directly is an Organization of high esteem and integrity, I really love their decipline. * GD staff don't even accept water which is the least thing from us, this makes us feel somehow."

"GD transfer is helping me achieve my goals, which is to build a house on the piece land I purchased a few years back in Buchanan. It has been a burden on my heart to have my own place, but thanks be to God for Give Directly, my long awaited dream is becoming a reality!!!!"

"My name is Folley Gomai Town, Dowein District, Bomi county. My planned had been to built for my family a new house from my cash transfer from Give Directly, currently, my plan reamins the same. My family and I have been engaged into agriculture activities since 5 years ago."

"My plan for the money is to build a new house, i have had the plan for sometime now but haven't had the cash to execute."

"We will invest in to a business for the sole purpose of fully sponsoring my children education, if I received this cash transfer from Givedirectly. The children are our future. We struggled every year to send them to school. Like before, when i was in good health, it used to be somehow easier but now, it is so difficult due to my poor health condition. My two legs got injured seriously two years ago as a result of a moter accident that had made me unable to function actively as a family man. This condition has caused two of my kids to be out of school. With this I think, the plan of having a business if we received help from Givedirectly will enable the children to continue their schooling and even complete their secondary school as well."

"I will invest in a business if I received this cash transfer from Givedirectly. I am four months old pregnant right now and I don't have any support. My boyfriend is also a student but right now he is not in school. He has gone in to the traditional school( Poro Society) due to the pressure from his father and the town people. In my condition now,I do casual labour before I get food to eat. I am expected to have a child couple of months from now. I think the business will be the first backing that will enable me to achieve several other things like: eating good food for my unborn baby to be healthy, giving support to my boyfriend to get back in academic school when he gets back from the traditional school and handling the welfare of the baby when he/she is born. I am really thankful to Givedirectly."

"The house my family live in right now is not in good condition, i don't have money to pay my children school fees and my family fully depends on farming to survive. If I'm eligible to receive money from GiveDirectly, i want to build a new house with zinc roof, pay workers to work on my farm and pay my children school fees."

"My challenges now are, the farming I am doing it giving me hard time and I been thinking of making sugar cane farm and get machine for the farm."

"There has been a long standing history of us living in poverty and as years come and go nothing has been done about it. These difficulties increases on a daily basis. Right now as I speake to you I can't provide food for my family, as a pregnant woman sometimes I even go to bed hungry. I don't have a decent living place, where I'm sleeping is very bad. There's no mattress and I have to sleep on sticks bed."

"I still clearly remember that morning. I was at the market when at 9.53 a.m, I received a message notification. I checked my phone and saw that I had received KES 55,000 from GiveDirectly. I was overjoyed as I had never received such a huge amount of money in my life."
