"Since goats make the best long-term investments, I have always been passionate about raising them, but I've never had the money to do it. Every year, they give birth, and as the year progresses, so do their offspring. I want to buy three for upbringing now that I receive a monthly payout. If everything goes according to plan, I will have more of them in two years, which I intend to sell later to help pay for my kids' school expenses."

"Currently, building a better house is the only objective I have. With our monthly remittances, my spouse and I have so far purchased 14 pieces of iron sheets. In the next three months, we want to complete the remaining fourteen. Then we shall look for timber, nails, and construction workers. We pray that it doesn't rain since the house is in horrible shape and we are frightened that it might fall on us if it does. We are optimistic that we will accomplish this goal by October."

"My husband, who has been our primary source of income, was arrested and is currently in prison, therefore I currently have no source of income. I want to start a business this year so that I can have a source of livelihood. I have already chosen the location of the grocery store I intend to open, hopefully in four months. While transfers are now my only source of income, I will be saving some money each month to reach this objective. As we wait for their father to be released, I'm hoping the revenue from it will allow me to take care of the needs of our two kids."

"The situation I was in before GiveDirectly entered my life was intolerable. I had been residing in a one-bedroom grass home for the longest time. It was difficult to make enough money to provide for our food. I now have a two-bedroom, half-mud, half-iron sheet home thanks to GiveDirectly. I was also able to buy a cow, whose milk will both earn me money and be useful for our household needs. GiveDirectly has significantly improved every element of our life in the long run."

"The biggest difference in my life is the happiness GiveDirectly has given me. The joy I feel each day and the fulfillment in my heart that my dream is coming to pass gradually. Like before, little things made me angry but I don't see that happening anymore because I am usually happy and fulfilled."

"It is not easy for us to get enough compost to fertilize our small land, we have a small land to cultivate in order to feed my family, To get money at home I and my husband we have to work hard in other farm for $0.7 per day or my husband went to prepare charcoal in others forests for $10 per month"

"The main challenge we are facing is that we don't have land for agriculture, therefore the insufficient food at home and we don't have money to buy the food stuffs we need. We normally eat once per day because it's hard to have enough food that can allow us to eat at least twice per day. I can say that it's because of poverty, you can see in our house, we have no chair, imagine if we have another guest we can't find a seat for them, it's a challenge. Poverty is the main challenge we have because if we can get money, we would not face all of these problems."

"The biggest challenge is that our house is not clean well due to the poverty. We started living together with my husband in 2020. We are not legally married because we were not stable financially but hopefully in the future, we will make it. So far, we do not have enough land to use in farming and we only have one goat. Getting fertilizer is not easy for us. In summary, we are poor."

"Givedirectly is one of the most reliable, honest and committed organisations I have ever seen in my entire life. Their kind is rare, I must admit. and I pray for all of our supporters all around the world. May God richly bless you all."

"I hope to make farm to sustain my family."
