"My current objective is to construct a kitchen. This is because I also utilize my house as a store and a kitchen. By doing this, I will not have to stay outside the home until very late at night to wait for the smoke to clear before going to sleep, which is how it is now, and I won't be disturbed by smoke after cooking. In addition, I will prevent the iron sheet from absorbing soot, which detracts from the house's aesthetic appeal."

"The unconditional transfers I received from GiveDirectly are one thing that has enabled me to be where I am today. I was able to purchase ten chickens with the help of the monthly transfers and I am currently praying for them to hatch so that I can sell them and buy more goats. With the goats, I can sell them for more money and alter my family's entire economic structure. I am extremely grateful to GiveDirectly for everything."

"In order to save enough money, I recently joined a Merry-go-round where I save any amount of money I have. I believe that when I have enough money, I will be able to start a lovely hotel where I can serve my customers a variety of food items and earn more money per day than I do now. I want to thank GiveDirectly for all that they have done for me and for the opportunity to think beyond my ability and also have the belief that one day I will own my hotel and better the life of my family members."

"With all the difficulties I face in life, I pray that one day I might be able to overcome them. I have five children and one of them is disabled; the rest are really struggling to make ends meet for themselves and their families. I currently do not have a stable job and the only thing I desire most is to operate my own business. I want to start selling vegetables to my locals so that I get profit and ensure that all my grandchildren are in school and complete their studies with good grades and on timely bases. I also want to be stable financially so that I stop boring money from my neighbors when I lack something to eat."
