"When I withdrew the money, I opted to build a spacious house. This is because the one I had was very small and congested as it was used for multi-purposes. Apart from being a house where my family and I sleep, it was also serving as a store and a kitchen. Therefore, I opted to construct a two-room mud-walled house. I spend $280 on the building materials and the contractor's labor charge was $60. Thereafter, I bought two goats for $60 so that I could add to the ones I already had to boost my investment. As of now, I am happy since I have a spacious house that accommodates my family of three. I am also delighted that I converted the small house into a kitchen and store. As a casual laborer, I saw it prudent to keep the remaining amount for the family's upkeep."

"I would want to see my children prosper in their education, and therefore my is to educate my children to a level that I could. I would ensure that part of every month’s transfer is sent to the school to clear any remaining balance. I would also want to buy livestock that would be of great help to me in the future in case of emergencies."

"My goal for the next year and beyond is to have livestock. I would want to buy goats with the transfers that I would be receiving knowing that in case I am faced with an emergency in the future, I would be in a position to sell them and have the money. Also, when the program comes to an end, I would want to have the livestock to act as evidence of the great help I received from GiveDirectly."

"It had always been my wish to educate my children to a level that they would want even though I am faced with financial challenges. So my major goal is to ensure that my children go to school uninterrupted and and will achieve this by ensuring that I spend part of my monthly transfers on paying any school fees balance that they might have accrued."

"My plan is to buy livestock because I have always been interested in livestock rearing, so the transfers that I would be receiving from GiveDirectly would be of great help. I want to ensure that every month I set aside some amount that would enable me to buy the livestock by the end of the year and in case of any financial difficulties in future, I would be in a position to sell and get the money I need."

"Since I am a single mother, I would always want my children to have a better life and also continue with their education, therefore my main goal in the next one year is to save part of my transfers every month and by the end of the year, I would want to start up a greengrocery business so that I have a source of income to support my children."

"My children had been on and off from school due to the lack of school fees and I had been struggling so hard to look for money, but the little I manage to get is also shared to meet other needs. My plans with the future transfers is to ensure that I reduce the amount of school fees arrears every month so that my children would have uninterrupted learning."

"I was previously a farmer specializing in livestock rearing(goats) but due to financial challenges, I was forced to sell all of them and was left with nothing. My wish had been to buy more livestock and embark on my farming project. So with the transfers that I would be getting, I plan to buy as many goats and keep them so that in the future, they would be of great help as well."

"I had always wanted to build a house that would be enough for my children and I because the one that we currently live in is not suitable for all of us. Therefore my goal for the next one year is to build a house and I had started buying materials in bits with the monthly transfers that I always receive. I have bought a number of iron sheets and still planning to buy more in the next months."

"I found no hiccups with this organisation's procedures. They are easy to follow and very commendable."
