"Having worked in a motorbike business for quite some years now, it has always been my greatest desired to own one. Working for someone is always tiresome and the returns are low since the owner requires a certain amount of money each day without fail. As such, I have already identified a second-hand motorbike which is still in good condition. This will double my daily earnings and am hopeful, it will be a huge relief to my family. For the rest of the transfers, I will invest in a goat-rearing business. This is my long term investment that will ensure my children get quality education. And that is what receiving this money means to me."

"Currently, I am living in a leaking kitchen when it rains. Secondly, I dont have a dairy cow. We are therefore forced to do casual labor in other people's farms so that we can procure the milk for our three children. Receiving this money is a big boost because I now have the ability to meet my basic needs."

"I have always wished to pursue a teaching course but due to financial constraints, this wish has always remained to be a dream. I have tried all manner of jobs to raise income to pay for my tuition but all efforts have been in vain. My husband does not earn much and so the little that we get, we contribute towards taking care of our children. From the experience that I have had and the large amount required to complete the whole course, I plan to invest my transfer first so that It may continuously generate income to sustain not only my education but also other household needs. We have a parcel of land in Bandari centre and with the transfer, we plan to construct rental rooms whose front yard will double up as a general shop that I will be managing for starters. The center is a central point hosting students and teachers who rent rooms to be nearer to the institution hence the reassurance of getting readily available market to boost my investment thus enabling me to accomplish my life time dream without any more financial struggles."

"When I receive this money, I will renovate the house and addan extension to it. I will als use part of it to buy food at home."

"When I receive this money, I will buy some land and partly pay for my children's school dues."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is unemployment. I finnished school 2 years ago and upto now i have not got a job leaving me with an option of casual labouring within the village."

"I will make a plan on how to buy building materials so that by the end of around four months, I should be able to build a new house. I live in a very small house whose walls have been wearing off from time to time and today it is at risk of collapsing if nothing is done about it in the near future."

"My life is different in that, I have owned cows and replaced house hold items that had got burnt in my house. I have a peaceful mind because I paid all the debts that I had and also paid the medical expenses for treating my daughter's. I couldn't have saved my daughter's life had I not recieved this money and at my old age I wouldn't have owned the cows I currently have."

"Through this support I was able to under gone surgery that has improved my health. I would have not under gone surgery had I not recieved this transfer from GiveDirectly because it costed a lot of money that I didn't have in person. I would have lost my life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have owned 2 piglets that I intend to keep for my children's education. I am also having new beddings, a water drum, four jerry cans and I was able to seek proper medical treatment for myself and children with this transfer. Previously , I used to sell the tittle food I had for paying medical bills and school fees."
