"I have a big piece of land that I always cultivate but it had been more costly for me since I always hire livestock(cows)from a friend at a higher fee to help me with the land cultivation. But in the next one year, I would want to have my own two cows to help me with the cultivation work and one dairy cow as well believing that the profits I would be getting from selling the milk would be of great help in terms of fending for my family. And to achieve this, I would continue saving part of my monthly transfers to a certain amount that would be enough for the purchase of the livestock"

"I would like to buy a mattress for myself. My current mattress is so old and is totally worn out you can feel the ground. It is so uncomfortable to sleep on this mattress due to this issue. I want to make sure that when I get some money I can buy a new mattress at $36. I also want to add another room to my house. My house is currently one roomed. My wish is when I get money i may buy iron sheets, at least 2 sheets when I can, so I can add that room. I want to buy goats too when things get better. If my husbands gets jobs at a better rate, It will take care of the needs at home and so I can buy goats and chicken."

"The money GiveDirectly sends for us to transform our lives is a very good thing. The respect they gave us is also good. They did not choose for us, they gave us the opportunity to choose for ourselves on how to make our lives better."

"I spend my recent money on my existing business."

"I spend my recent money on buying building materials."

"Give-directly did well by giving me money to build my house and paid my brother school fees."

"The wonderful thing GiveDirectly has done is to send cash that brought changes to my life. I am no longer begging people to survive, I now have my own money. They haven't done any bad, GiveDirectly is a good organization."

"I budgeted 17,500LD for the processing of planks which will include doors for the new house I want to build. I also used 16,000 to purchase one bundle of zinc that will also be added to the previous zinc I bought for the house project. The reason I chose to build a new house is that this current house I stay in gives me lots of embarrassment and illnesses such as leakages during rainy days, smoke goes in my system a lot due to the kitchen being in the same space as my room, the dirt falls off the holes they were stuffed in thus causing injuries sometimes, the dust from the floor gives me cold which turns into cough, etc. Having this new zinc house with a paved cement floor will keep sickness away from me and give me much happiness and peace of mind."

"RE " My biggest accomplishment Will be to build my house and complete it. At the moment, i have gone far on the process already. My sticks are ready, i have paid for my zincs and nails among others. Am only awaiting my brother to bring my zincs and other materials from Zwedru than am good to go"."
