"" I am out of high school and been wanting to further my education but due to hardship I am not able to see myself through college. I haven't spent my money on anything yet. My plan is to save all the transfer for my college education. I'm very grateful that GiveDirectly is making my dream to come through in a very short time.""

""Before I started receiving transfer from GiveDirectly, I always had the dream doing something like working or making a business that will enable me help my mother. But all this planned was not successful because there is no job opportunity in my village and getting money to start a business was not easy. However with this financial I see it as an opportunity to put my planned into action. That which is to divide my transfers into half, a portion going towards rebuilding my Mother's house and another portion will be used for business. With that my Mom and I will not had to live on hand out again. I am so excited to be a apart of this program.""

"GiveDirectly is doing excellently well by taking us from poverty and I really appreciate them a lot. I am making a recommendation for GiveDirectly to please help our brothers and sisters in the neighbouring towns and villages as they have done for us."

"My most recent transfer was spent on the buying of assorted building materials for my construction and the payment of my daughter's tuition."

"I am an agriculturalist, and I have been planning to make a large cocoa farm , but there have been no money to do such. I am hoping to make a very large cocoa farm from this Givedirectly transfer in this coming year."

""Since my house was build three years ago, with cash from my little hustled as a commercial bike rider, it had never been easy in completing the project because I no longer had the bike again to hustle. For this reason, my family and I had been living in the not really conducive one for years. However with my recent transfer, I have decided not to waste any time but to use most of it to start the plastering and floor laying. This new development had brough so much relieved and joyed to us as family.""

"As a woman selling local brew for survival was a big challenge for me. Men could come and drink then fail to pay and I could not do anything. They bullied me but since I had no way out, I just found myself pleading on their legs so that they could pay for what they had already consumed. Life was tougher for me. Thanks to GiveDirectly for the transfer. Through it, I managed to pay school fees for my children who were lamenting at home about not being able to continue with their studies. Their lamentation gave me sleepless nights but now I feel relieved since they are back to school because of GiveDirectly."

""When I withdraw my transfer, I intend to use a portion of it to pay my children's tuition and save the remaining amount to wait for the second transfer to buy materials and start my house project. My family does not own a house, the house we live in belongs to my father"."

""I hope to complete my house project in the coming year, because the house that I am living in currently belong to my father in law"."

"I used the funds from the transfer to purchase six goats up until November of last year. After selling six goats, I used the money to buy a dairy cow. I'm going to harvest the cow's milk in a few months and sell it. My objective is to keep spending the money I will be paid on additional goat purchases so that I can eventually turn the goats into cows. When I have a sizable herd of cows, I will be able to sell the milk that the cows produce as a secondary source of income."
