"RE " In my opinion, givedirectly is doing well, because with this money, i am hopeful that am going to have a new house of my own "."

"RE " I hope to extend my business, as i have started already through the help of givedirectly cash program. Since, i am old and can no long do bush work, i want to focus on my business "."

"GiveDirectly's assistance came at an opportune time in lifting our finances, and we will be eternally grateful to the organization for the assistance that empowered us. My dream is for me to be able to start a business of selling maize that would help in boosting my finances. To achieve this goal, I intend to use the money I earn from casual work by rolling it."

"My ambition is to expand in agriculture by planting more crops in order to increase yield. This would improve our finances, which would go a long way toward securing my children's school fees. I was overjoyed that the transfer provided us with the opportunity to drastically improve our lives."

"Indeed, GiveDirectly's assistance helped to improve the lives of the less fortunate in society. It never discriminated against anyone, regardless of social status, during its operations. Furthermore, they did not base their decision on rumors, but rather visited every household in the village and ascertained things for themselves, bringing fairness to all. Nothing was done, in my opinion, that contradicted what they had stated."

"The GiveDirectly sensitization meeting was very informative and detailed on the program's operation. We were given an overview of how the organization operates and its payment method from the start of the program, not to mention the security details, which went a long way toward enhancing our safety."

"I spent part of my second transfer of nine goats worthy of $360. For so many years, I have been yearning to at least own one but because of financial constraints, I could not afford them. I, therefore settled for the goats because the climatic condition of my village is favourable for them to thrive so well. To add to that, they normally reproduce twice a year. I expect that once they increase in number, I will therefore sell the offspring and cater for my family's basic needs or any kind of financial emergency that might arise. Therefore having this goat feels like a relief to me because I will achieve a lot. With the remaining amount of money, I have been buying foodstuffs and decent clothes to replace the old ones. I now feel great since it has never been easy at being a widow at my age. I will be thankful to God for bringing GiveDirectly into my life."

"My goal for the coming year and beyond is to launch a profitable and sustainable business. This, I believe, would relieve me of the financial burden of paying school fees. To make this dream a reality, I intend to save money from the farm gradually. I am hopeful that with time, I will be able to realize this dream. Above all, I am grateful for all that I have accomplished thus far."

"My goal would be to secure a parcel of land that would add two to the one I already own. This is because the one I have is small. This goal would be achievable once I had finished paying my children's school fees. It may take some time, but I am confident that I will succeed."

"I am hoping to start a new business( selling fresh fruits and vegetables) within the village. I believe this is a profitable business and easy to manage. For so many years, I used to rely on the charcoal business which was tedious and not lucrative. Therefore I am positive that once I will be able to start this new business, will no longer have to strain to meet my family's basic needs."
