"Givedirectly give my family the opportunity to have our own houses. I'm recommending that Givedirectly give each of the couples their own phone and divide the transfer among them equally to avoid confusion, because most families in my town have issues with money."

"I want to become a successful business man since I wasn't fortunate to acquire an education. I'm working day in and out to make sure I fulfil my desires to become one. I also want to sentmy children to my oldest sisters in the city to further their education."

"Most of the money was spent on renovating our house because when there was rain, the roof was so damaged that we didn't have a corner to stand on we had to go to our neighbors."

"I was paying rent for a crop land and after receiving the donation I bought that land now I own that land."

"All my life I' ve always wanted a large cocoa farm. My family and I planted cocoa on one piece of farm land last year. It hasn't been a rough one at all. We didn't have money to hire workers. We did the work all by ourselves. When Givedirectly brought their help, we used some of the first and second transfer to expand the farm from one ace to three aces of land. We have just received our third transfer. We thought about purchasing fertiliser to put on the crops to enable them to grow well and use the balanced money to hire workers to clean the farm."

"In my opinion, Givedirectly did extremely well by supporting us financially, especially without asking for anything in return. Their work is so extraordinary with no mistakes."

"In the coming year and beyond, I would like to have a spacious house for my family of five since the current one is small in size. As my family grows, there is a need for sufficient space as well as privacy. Additionally, in case I have a visitor, I will not have to worry. I will also earn some respect from society at large. "

"Achieving financial stability that will allow me to cater to the needs of my five children is my ultimate goal. Having two of them in secondary school and the other two in elementary school, it is challenging to fully cover their education costs because I lack a stable source of income. This is why I want to start buying and rearing goats, as I can easily sell them later to support my children’s school cost. So far, am grateful for the cash transfers because they have ensured my children never miss a class. Am sure if it were not for the money, some of them would have dropped out. "

"I have land and an improve business all thanks to givedirectly"

"Givedirectly help empowered us to be self dependent and also help alleviate poverty in our home"
