"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in my entire region by ensuring that every household was visited and fairly enrolled. This exercise enhanced harmony among us in the village. Also, for now, my life has greatly transformed, which is a result of unconditional transfers. Therefore, I do not see anything that needs to be changed, even as they move to the next village."

"I'm 22 years of age.I live with my parents.The school in my town doesn't have a seniors' high school.I'm attending in fishtown because of the distance,I do come during the weekend.My parents have been my source of motivation since I was a child.Farming has been our source of income.In all the difficulty my parents are facing with sending us through school, I intend to use my transfer to complete my tuition to ease my parents' burdens.I also use part of the money to complete the bike payment I bought with the first and second transfers Givedirectly gave me."

"I don't have a house of my own. We live in very small thatched house for about 5 years.The farm activities is too difficult so for this we only produce little proton of farm and it can't sustain us financially to build a house. Our last transfer were spend on planks, cement, zinc to start building my new home. Since I'm pregnant I intend establishing a small business at my house to help reduce some of our family burden"

"Givedirectly is helping us financially and making us self dependent"

"The whole family was home when we heard the SMS ring alert. My husband and I can not read so it was up to our son to read the text for us. We were so happy after he let us know GD had sent the transfer just like they had promised. The first thing that came to mind was buying a plot of land, paying for my child's school fees and buying a solar lighting system for my house."

"When I received the first transfer, I bought a pig 110 $, clothes for 30 $, food for 82 $ and gave 80 $ for him to buying something he wants. I plan on enlarging my farm with the pig that I bought and selling the piglets to gain income for my household. I sincerely thank GD for their good deed."

"I had a house whose roof was very old and I was not safe from the rain anywhere in my house whenever it rained. When I received the first tranfer, I reconstructed the roof and it cost me 120 $, I bought a pig worth 60 $, clothes worth 40 $, a mattress for 40 $ and utensils for 50 $. My house's roof was my biggest concern and thanks to GD, I was able to have a proper roof."

"My family of 7 depends on charcoal burning to earn a living. However, the harsh climatic conditions and prolonged drought have depleted the trees and now we have turned to the bodaboda business that my husband owns as an alternative. Furthermore, charcoal burning is tiresome and risky as well because the government banned it and if found practising, then will be prosecuted. I am glad the transfers made life easy because I have paid school fees with them. In addition, I used $30 to purchase food for the household and the rest of the transfers on house construction. I am excited that my financial burden has been reduced hence I can concentrate on safe income-generating activities."

"I have been doing casual jobs to earn a living. However, wages from it are often insufficient to meet the educational and nutritional needs of my family which are always on the rise. With the regular GiveDirectly transfers, I hope in the next year I shall have acquired additional livestock. Primarily, I aim to accomplish my goal of boosting my livestock-keeping venture. As I continue to receive my transfer, I shall particularly be buying more goats. These will be beneficial to my family at large."

"I hope to accomplish my goal of acquiring a parcel of land in the next year and beyond. There is a parcel of land that I had identified, and the seller had agreed to sell it out to us at $100. So far, I have not made any payment though I am working on how to raise some money to commit. That parcel will assist me in locating a suitable location for subsistence cultivation. It will aid in obtaining other sources of income. The acquisition of that amount is my key goal this year as I continue to get transfers. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the financial support."
