"As I mentioned earlier I cleared high school which means I can now pursue college education. I want to at least get into a computer college but with my current finances it feels next to impossible. I have created a plan that includes increasing the number of the chicken I own and then eventually selling them at a profit so I can be able to afford school fees. I want to at least get two hens per month but this will be determined by market price. I want to buy chicken from big chicken farmers which ensures I get them at affordable prices but also during a period when they are not so much in demand than I get a good value for my money."

"My goal is to finish building our three-roomed house. Afterward, I intend to start my own small business selling foodstuff. I hope to be able to support my husband to cater to our basic needs as currently, he is the sole breadwinner of the family since I do not have a job."

"I spend my recent money on buying zinc to build new house with zinc.we have been suffering in this village.The houses we are sleeping in was very bad.The whole roof of my house was leaking.every year we have to change the thatch over our roof."

"This year my top most priority is to ensure that I use the transfers to pay for tuition for my five children. This is quite important especially since my husband cannot help me due go his sickness and my kids ought to stay in school. I also plan on using the money on matters concerned with nutrition because it is a challenge for my family from time to time."

"The provision of nutrients in my home is my first priority. This is due to the fact that we have been suffering from drought for a number of years, which has caused bad harvests and put us in a nearly starvation-like situation. In addition, I want to make a future investment and acquire a few additional goats and chickens."

"I plan on spending money on my farm this year, including buying a few goats and chickens. I currently have two goats, which I bought with the money I was given. This is my future investment in case I encounter financial difficulties. Aside from that, I also intend to utilize the money to improve nutrition because it is a recurring problem brought on by the drought."

"Both my husband and I depend on burning and selling charcoal to earn living. We have known this to be our only source of livelihood since we got married because our region is very dry and we can not rely on food from the farm. It takes us two weeks to get four bags of charcoal and one sells for $3. With income of around $14 per month, it has not been easy for us raising our seven children and most of the days, we survive on one meal per day. When our son was graduating from primary school, we had no hope of taking him to high school because we had no savings and couldn't afford to raise his school fees. The transfers came in handy for us because it gave him hope of proceeding to high school. We spend $500 of the second transfer for his school shopping and school fees and we are happy that we were able to clear three quarter of his first year's school fees. We spend the balance of $50 to buy two goats which we hope that they're going to multiply and help us pay school fees some day. We are so grateful to GiveDirectly for giving our family hope."

"Gd is an very good organization that I must appreciate for their support toward me and my family.inaddtion the people of my village are so greatfull.Gd has impact into the life of many people in our county."

"My spouse and I have been producing crops for sustainability, but most of the time the animals destroy most of the crops.The remaining crops when sold can't support the children in school. We have been finding it difficult to get money. I live in a thatched house. So I used the money to buy a plank and two bundles of zinc to change the house's roof from thatched to modern zinc in order to beautify my house. I'm grateful to Givedirectly for making my home a beautiful and comfortable one."

"The staff always talks to us in a polite manner. They abide by their policy throughout the entire process by not accepting any gife from us in the form of appreciation."
