"RE " I hope to complete my house. And also, I am an agriculturalist, so i hope to have a huge farm which will be able to help me take care of my household and i. That's why am presently investing in Agriculture now"."

"RE " In my opinion, givedirectly is doing very well and am pleased. But I think what givedirectly is doing that is not good is their law of not excepting gifts from us, for me it doesn't look good that you can only do good for me and i can not do good for you. But besides that, Givedirectly is doing more than well here "."

"Life was difficult prior to receiving the first transfer, but I am grateful that a lot has happened in the last three months, which I attribute to GiveDirectly's generous support. My son would have dropped out of school and my livestock would have died if I had not been able to spend the money however I saw fit. I am glad the process went smoothly and fairly for everyone, and we got the same amount of money we spent without any strings attached. The officers have always been concerned and conduct a monthly visit, clarifying all questions we ask with great humility."

"I have seen a great deal of transformation in the last three months, not only in my household but also in other families in our village. Despite the drought, which destroyed all of our farming activities, I have been able to accomplish a lot in terms of changing my household's immediate surroundings. I have planted trees and plan to start a kitchen garden once I have enough water. I spent a lot of money after receiving the second transfer to install a solar panel and buy a wet battery. I paid $150 for a 300-watt solar panel, $300 for a wet battery, $68 for an inverter and charger controller, $30 for electric cables, and $60 for installation. I am currently charging my family's phones at home, as opposed to a few months ago when I had to take them to a nearby shopping center with a charging fee every day. I am glad that the permanent house I built is well-lit in every room and that the lighting extends to the separate kitchen, my sons' new house, and my parents' house next door. I am grateful for GiveDirectly's generous and timely support, and while I am still waiting for the final patch, I am glad to have accomplished so much already. I am hoping to spend some of the incoming transfer on a 43-inch television so I don't have to commute to a nearby town to watch the news every evening."

"Considering my advanced age, I cannot take on strenuous tasks to make money for my needs. Since I cannot also entirely depend on my children, who have families to raise, I believe keeping livestock is the best investment I can make to support me financially in the future. When I own a large herd of these animals, selling them to generate money will be easy. "

"My goal for the coming year and beyond is to ensure that I have enough resources to generate school fees for my children. I am confident that rearing livestock is the surest chance I have of raising money to support the education of my kids. Currently, I have four goats which I secured through previous transfers. My goal is to buy more and increase the herd to at least ten by the end of the year. "

"The challenge that we are facing is the constant water that comes and floods our compound and sometimes enter into the house. The water can easily flood our house when it heavily rains. We are always worried especially when it starts to rain."

"Give-directly did well by making me to start building my house."

"I hope to continue making my farm that will enable me to pay my children's school fees.give-directly was a great help to me and my father.I was finding it hard to even pay my children's school fees.I use to struggle to put food on the table for my family ,but now my family is eating on time."
