"In the coming years, I would like to start a farming business just within the village and in a nearby town center. I believe this will uplift my living standards since I have been depending on temporary jobs and have not been able to fend for my family on a daily basis. Therefore, I trust that this is the only business that will enable me to settle all my bills on time since it is very profitable."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did so well in my entire region, which was evident from the assets that most of us own. No one was discriminated against or left out, regardless of their tribe or even religion. The enrollment process was also free and voluntary. This makes the organization look so unique because it has never happened before. I therefore would prefer that they continue serving the beneficiaries of the other villages just as they did to us. "

"I am pleased and satisfied with what I have accomplished thus far. It's difficult to plan my next goal because my hands are tied due to financial constraints, but above all, I am grateful to have accomplished so much in such a short period."

"The money I received from GiveDirectly was the best gift I had ever received. I am a widow and the mother of five independent children, I now live with my two grandchildren. I rely on milk sales to supplement my income. I had previously begun building a house for my family but was unable to complete it due to financial constraints. As a result, when I received my second transfer, I saw it fit to finish the house renovation, and I used the entire transfer of $530. I am grateful for having accomplished so much in such a short period."

"From the initial stages of enrollment to the final stages, the organization's operations were flawless. We learned how to keep our money safe, and everyone treated us with dignity and respect. We had the impression from the onset that our opinions were valued and that we were getting the most excellent services possible. My wish is that the organization will remember us in the future."

"I had been buying milk for my family of seven for a long time before receiving support from GiveDirectly because I had sold the only cow that produced milk when I couldn't pay my children's school fees. Managing the cost of milk alongside other household goods was difficult, but I am grateful that I worked harder on my farms and received support from my sons, who later dropped out of school when I was unable to meet all of my financial obligations, which included their tuition payment. They had been doing odd jobs and helping to pay the bills. I was relieved to receive the first transfer after spending $400 on two dairy heifers. This gave me hope that I would soon have a plentiful supply of milk. I also purchased a $54 sack of maize for food, as most of my farm's produce failed due to the prolonged drought. I also purchased school uniforms for my two primary school daughters, paid their $9 tuition, and saved the remainder to pay other household bills later."

"I am grateful to GiveDirectly for visiting, enrolling, and providing us with a free cash transfer. Many of those who received funds built new homes because they were living in small huts that needed frequent and costly repairs. Everyone who received the transfer is still delighted and hopes for more generous donations in the future. We wish that the same could be done in other villages so that people who are still impoverished can transform their lives."

"My nine children are all in school, with the four older ones in high school. Paying their school fees is difficult, so I was relieved when I received funding from GiveDirectly to cover a portion of their tuition. When we received the second transfer, we agreed with my spouse to spend $200 on paying for the four students in secondary school and the remainder on expanding his livestock business. From the profits and proceeds he had been getting from the business, we had been paying the remaining amount in bits and also spending the rest of the money to settle other household bills. We had been reliant on my husband's business, which he has been doing for a longer time and has more experience with. On the other hand, I had been making and selling clay pots to earn money, which had always helped me buy food for my family."

"I hope to complete my house project before next year"
