"I work on my brother's cocoa plantation as a casual labourer, but what I earn is not sufficient for sustainability.My oldest brother has been the one helping me after the death of our parents. The help I received from Givedirectly I decided to work producing a large cocoa farm.I will hire workers to help me in the process and purchase enough cocoa seeds to plant."

"I hope of owning a house in the future and also to see my children out of college. My kids are my future so providing them the require education will make them independent. This will also put them in the position of taking care of me during my old age."

"In the coming years, my family's next investment would be the purchase of a piece of land. This is because I still live on family land, which is not very comfortable. Before now, it has not been simple because of financial restrictions. I, therefore, intend to use the farm's earnings to accomplish this goal. Above all, I will always be grateful for the outstanding accomplishments I have made thus far."

"The desire to purchase a water tank was driven by the lack of a constant water supply within our compound. We were struggling with getting clean water because we are in a semi-arid region. During our entire first transfer, we used the money to buy a water tank, and we topped the amount with an extra $100 off my savings. I'm a farmer, even though I'm not actively involved in farming as before due to a hand disability and thus makes me more dependent on my wife. We have six children. I'm glad that we were able to achieve this milestone."

"The operations at GiveDirectly were insightful. The officers did a wonderful job of explaining the program and teaching us what was needed as well as allowing us to voice our opinions. We were treated with the utmost respect and equally without prejudice during the sensitization meetings. I don't think there are any issues with the program operations."

"We all received good treatment and respect since the onset of the program, as well as a chance to ask questions and we received thoughtful responses. The purpose of the program was made clear during the sensitization meetings. We had no fraud cases and thus the process was transparent. I've been pleased with the organization's services this far. We had no issues with unexpected outcomes."

"My phone rang as I was watering fruits and tomatoes at my place of employment. Typically, I don't check my text messages, but since I had been assured I would get some cash transfer, I got accustomed to being attentive to checking my phone. I paused to read the text only to discover that GiveDirectly had sent me some money. This was the happiest day of my life. I was overwhelmed with joy. I told my wife soon as I got home and she was equally excited with joy. We embarked on planning how we would best utilize the transfer."

"Receiving money from GiveDirectly gave me hope for a better tomorrow. When I was promised I'd receive my first transfer, I knew it would impact my life significantly. I vividly recall that moment, when I received my transfer. I was at home relaxing after a hard day in the sun. I heard my phone ring and upon checking, I realized it was cash from Segovia Technology. I was in disbelief. I recall checking the message thrice. I went ahead with informing my daughter, asking her to confirm the text. This has been the best news that AI has received in a long time. I'm so happy and grateful for the support from GiveDirectly."

"GiveDirectly did an excellent job in our village, lifting me out of the deplorable poverty I was in. I am hoping to start a better life with my current family of three as soon as possible. I'm no longer in pain after building a new house that I hope will last a long time, and once I finish paying for the land, fencing around it will be my next goal."

"RE " I will spend the most of my recent transfer on buying two bundle of zincs, nails among others for the building of our house in Zwedru. We decided to build a house in Zwedru because we already have a house here. Meanwhile, we have our two bigger children attenting school in Zwedru, it is costly paying school fees as well as rent for them. Therefore, with house there, we will only be fighting to get school fees every academic year, which will be not bad "."
