"Give-directly did well by making me to sleep under zinc house."

"Before, I couldn't afford any money until I Labour for it or my parents gave it to me once in a while. Now I'm able to handle cash and buy what ever I want to buy for myself."

"I dropped out of high school in 2019 due to my parents' inability to pay the fees. Life began to be very difficult for me at that time.I couldn't afford my tuition at a private school, so I decided to go back home to hustle for awhile through the process. I established my family and things didn't go as planned.The help from Givedirectly made us to buy a piece of land in order to build a beautiful house for my family to stay in."

"In the next few years to come, I want to see myself owning a provision shop near my house so that when I'm no longer producing farm, I can depend on it for survival."

"I'm a health care provider who had been working in Jorproken town for about 4 years as a nurse midwife. Before, life was not really fine in that my salary took about two to three months to come.The small amount I earned couldn't accomplish my aim of becoming a home owner.It has caused me a lot of challenges as a father to support my family either. But with the help of Givedirectly funding, I was able to purchase a piece of land and now, with the third transfer, I'm about to start my projects."

"I used thirty thousand dollars to saw the planks and paid my children school fees with six thousand dollars."

"I was at home preparing dinner at around 6 pm when I got the text showing I had received my Give Directly cash transfer. To say I was elated would be an understatement. This was an assurance that I would achieve the goals I had set in mind. I proceeded to inform my husband and he was equally handsome. We had plans of building a quite decent house for our family. It was a relief on our side knowing we will get to do as planned. For this, I am grateful to Give Directly."

"One of the biggest differences in my life today is that my children have been able to go to school and are studying comfortably since I was able to clear their tuition fees. Moreover, I am now able to harvest rainwater since I bought a bigger water tank which had been a challenge before due to financial constraints. I am more than happy and contented with my current accomplishments."

"After purchasing and settling my own land, courtesy of the cash transfer, my next aim is to start rearing livestock. Keeping these animals will gradually build my wealth, and ensure that I have a ready and reliable stream of income in the future, even after the transfers cease. Though I bear huge financial obligations, I wish to have bought at least two goats by the end of the year. I trust the upcoming transfers to enable me to accomplish this goal. "

"Currently, my focus is on building a shed for my three goats. Since I acquired them, they have been sheltering under the same roof as me, which I presume is not healthy. Besides, as these animals reproduce, they will need a larger space for the offspring, which my one-room house cannot provide. I would be happy if I could save enough money from future transfers to construct the shed in a span of a year. "
