"My new goal that i have now for this my money. I'm about to finish my house project and focus on a business. I don't went after this programs so that i can surfer again. I'm going to focus on my business that will help sustain my family. I finished buying all of my building materials. I bought zinc and cement with some pick of nails. I'm going to paid people that will build my house. I even bought some fews pics of planks to add on the stick. I went to use it for the roofing of the house."

"I was overwhelmed when I received my money. I am a farmer. I have not been able to cater to my family needs. Things have been a bit difficult for us. I started building a new house. Due to insufficient funds, I have not been able to complete my house. I am so excited that I got enrolled on this program. My first priority is to complete my house so that my family can have a decent home to live in. I will use some of my money to buy cement to plaster my house. I save some so that when I receive the rest I will start a new business."

"The moment I received my money was one of the best moments of my life. I was so excited. Things have been hard on my family and I. We live in a family house. As the man of the home, I always worried and I have been stressed out. I could barely afford my family needs. I am so excited for this program. With this,I can solve my problems. Our lives will now get better."

"Things have been hard on us. All I ever wished for is to see my children live better lives. I have not been able to give them that life because of poverty. Our house has spoiled. I don't have money to build a new one. My children out of school and there's no money for their tuition. I was overwhelmed when I received my transfer. I am so excited for this amazing opportunity. After receiving all of the transfers our lives will never be the same again. I used some of my money to pay their tuition. I saved a little. Hopefully, when I receive rest of the transfers I will buy materials to build a new house and start a new business."

"The moment I received my transfer I was so happy. I was on my farm when my neighbour came running to tell me to check my account. I checked and saw my transfer.From that moment I knew my life is about to change. We have been suffering. My husband and I are farmers. Things haven't been so well. Our house has been leaking. Due to the lack of money we haven't been able to change the roof. I'm so grateful for this golden opportunity."

"Things have been a hard on us. I sell provisions. The business hasn't been going well. I could afford for my children. I was so excited when GiveDirectly came to my town. It's a privilege to be enrolled on this amazing program. Our lives will improve. My wish has always been to see my children becoming future leaders and to own a big business. I used some of my transfer to get my children back in school. I also used the rest to buy more goods for my business."

"The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving cash from GiveDirectly is that I don't go hungry for day anymore. I am thankful that I can now afford food. I don't stress over anything anymore. This opportunity is so overwhelming. I will never be poor again. My life will now change for the better. That is I will never be poor again."

"I am a single mother. I sell farina at various markets to enable me sustain my family. Things have been difficult for us. The profit I make from the farina sales is not enough to provide food and tuition at the same time.My children dropped out of school.We harldy get to eat. I was so excited when I got enrolled on this program. I was overjoyed when I received my transfer. I used a little amount to pay one of my children tuition and buy the uniforms. I used the rest to buy zinc to build my house. Hopefully, when I receive rest of the transfers I will pay the rest of my children tuition."

"I am so grateful to God for this amazing opportunity. This is a dream come through for me. We live in a family house. Things have been so hard on us. GiveDirectly is doing so much well for us. Assisting us with this huge amount of money and asking for nothing in return. That is so overwhelming. I used some of my money to buy zinc. I also started a new business to be able to sustain my family. Hopefully when I receive rest of the transfers I will add up my business. I'm so excited for this program. Our lives will never be the same again."

"There are many things GiveDirectly is doing well. To be specific, in my opinion GiveDirectly looks for the hard to reach poor communities to carry help. It does not discriminate. GiveDirectly treats all households equal. Most of all the trainings that the employees undergo before coming to the communities is admirable."
