"In the next six months, I believe I will be living a much better life than the way we are now. By then I would have harvested some maize which I planted with part of the transfers which I received from Give Directly. This means we will not lack food and spend less on buying other daily necessities. Again, I would have bought seats for my house and whenever I would have some guest, I wouldn't run up and down to borrow some seats from neighbours something which has been bothering me for some time now."

"I had previously worked as a motorcycle taxi operator before I opened the current grocery business I have. Then, I was using a hired motorcycle which I had to pay for on a daily basis so the returns were not so good. With the profits I am making from this grocery business together with the monthly transfers I am receiving, I am planning to buy a motorcycle on credit which I can clear paying for in monthly instalments so that I can have a supplementary source of income. This motorcycle will also enable me to ferry my grocery products with ease which will then reduce the costs I am currently incurring paying for delivery services."

"I really had a huge desire to further my studies but I was unable to continue after my relative who had promised to pay my college fees changed his mind. Because my mother was unable to raise the fees on her own, I had to look for another way to take care of myself and forget about college. When I received the first transfer, I was eventually able to go back to college because I am now able to pay my own fees. I am very grateful to the organization for the opportunity because I am sure I would not have managed to continue with my studies without the money."
