"I want to build my house, and pay my children school fees. All transfers will be directed to building my dream house so that I can have a better place to lay my head along with my children. My children education is one important thing that has always bothered me, thank God that they will also have the opportunity to be in school with their friends."

""I am challenged and depressed about my farmalnd. Due to heavy rain thid year, I was unable to yield crops from my farmland and also unable to ptovide food for my children which caused me facing do many difficulties in finding food and funds to sustain my family.""

""I am faced with financial constrain. My spouse have to walk on a 3 hrs distance to cut palm, than I will process it to produce oil and sell in order to generate earn living for the family.""

"Planning for things you do not have solutions for are like wasting your time for no reason. For this reason, I have never bothered about planning or thinking about anything of such before the coming of GiveDirectly cash transfer. I am a very poor woman. I don't have the time to plan for what will not get no matter how much I work and especially where I found myself. I was not even thinking that GiveDirectly was a truthful NGO that stands for the poor people until today I am seeing them sending cash all over my town to help us that are in need."

"My plan for the money support my 3 children in school. I believe sending the children to school, they could in return look after me. I'll will be investing in them to benefit tomorrow. I don't have my own money and with the help of this money from Give Directly, I can sent my children to school. I just started helping my father to plant Cocao and it has not started producing. The children will help take care of me tomorrow if am old when they're are educated. I also want to build my own house. I live in my parents house for the past years, and that isn't good for me. We are many, and one day the others could come and want to claim ownership. Having my own house will make me free, as well as my children."

"I was living with my elder sister going to school. It didn't work out well for me and her due to money issues. I went back to my mother who did not have the hands to send me back to school through this struggle I took pregnancy. My husband didn't have the financial support to mantain us as a family. With the help of God GiveDirectly came into our village to give us help financially. My biggest difference is that I have never been able to go back to school and I have never been able to to build a house of my own. Owning my own house and going back to school I believe is the best choice I have ever made in my life to have a better future with my family."

"I was just sitting down when my message came but I didn't know that because I am not educated. Due to the rumours of the GiveDirectly cash transfer news, I was concerned about checking the message out so I asked someone to help and read it to me. I am a old lady, throughout my whole life I have been struggling to make a living. I have been living in a one bed room that is leaking so badly. I have never had such amount of money before since I was born. I am glad and happy to have this money because I am going to renovate and extend my one bed room house house to a bigger one."

"The transfer has brought a very big difference in my life and that of my family. I will no longer have to borrow loans and stress on repaying them because I was able to acquire the land that I have always wanted with this transfer that GiveDirectly gifted us with."

"My main challenges now is having money to send my children to school. I was not successful in entering school which have me in this condition, now I don't want my children to be in such situation. * The next thing is about having my own house. I continue to live in my uncle house where at anytime I can be removed. Without a house, it's possible that tomorrow my family and I find ourselves in the street."

"I bought sticks,zinc, and zinc nails to start my house project soon. I'm also going to buy a mattress to be sleeping on. My baby and I have been sleeping on the floor since I gave birth to him due to financial difficulties. Since my partner left me during my pregnancy, things have been tough on me. I also want to start a new business to be able to empower myself and to take good care of my child. This is why i feel so excited about been on this program. It's a great lifw changing opportunity for me."
