"Saving my first transfer to await the next transfer will help me purchase the needed materials for the construction of a new house. I have decided to build on the land my late husband left behind. My dream has been to build a house, but my earnings were too little to excute my plan. However, with this amount of money from Givedirectly, I will now freely embark on my new house project."

"I was harvesting rice on my farm when I heard my phone rang. I immediately took the phone from my bag to see what it was. I realized that it was a message from Givedirectly. I was happy upon seeing a message of transfer from Givedirectly."

"I am happy and confident of owning my own house, but before then, I never thought that I earn such money for myself"

"No! I didn't have any new goals. I'm a nurse. Things have not been so okay. Sometimes I don't get my salary on time. Paying my rent worries me. I have been wanting to build a house but unable. I am happy for this opportunity. My life will never be the same again. My primary goal has been to build a new house. I will stick to that goal."

"My husband and I have been making business. When we just started,our business was going well. Lately, it has been moving slow. Our rent was due. We didn't have enough funds. I was worried. I didn't know where to take money from. I was so excited when I received my transfer. Our lives will never be the same again. Hopefully, after receiving all of the transfers we will have a brighter future. I used some of the money to add more goods to my business. I bought some food. I used the rest to buy zinc. When I receive the balance my transfers,I will pay contractors to saw planks and build a new house for my family and I."

"My life have been difficult. Things were so hard on me I couldn't afford to eat on time. It is so stressful seeing your life in such condition. Our house have spoiled. The tarsh leaks during the rainy season. Due to financial constraints,I couldn't afford to build a new one or change the roof. I was happy when GiveDirectly came to my village. Getting enrolled on this program is a privilege. I am so grateful. My life will now improve for the better. I used some of my payment to buy a bag of rice. I used the rest to buy few bundles of zinc. Hopefully when I receive the rest I will buy gas to saw planks and pay contractors to build my house."

"I am staying in my eldest brother's house. Due to this reason, I have been planning to build my own house but I never had the financial support to do so. The very first day I ever receive my transfer, I was so very happy because I believe that my life has changed and my dreams has come true. When I receive the first transfer from Givedirectly, I decided to buy two bundles of zinc to bring my plan to reality and I also bought six bags of rice to sell and increase my money while I am waiting for my second transfer to pay peopleand startmy house project."

"As for me no new goals before receiving this second transfer , reason being is that, I already made up my mind to get zinc for the construction of my house. Before getting on this GD program I was praying to God if I'm successful on this GD program I will build my own house."

"I am still working on building my house; there's no new plan I have right now."

"Givedirectly does well by sending our money directly to us and not through someone who will eat some of it. They have not done any bad as far as I know."
