"I would love to expand my business and more stock to the business. If the business continues to nourish, within three months I can be able to accomplish this."

"GiveDirectly is a well-organized establishment, the first meeting we have with them, they were so welcoming and kind. I appreciate everything they are doing and I wish that a lot of people have an opportunity to receive the transfer."

"I am a farmer. I cultivate crops such as maize, pigweed, and spinach. But with current drought we are facing, I can no longer farm due to shortage of water. I ventured into other business selling timber which gives me a profit of $20 a week. This money is spent on food for my family. I have seven children, all attending school. My husband sells traditional medicine and the income he gets from his business is spent on paying school fees. The money we generate is not enough to take care of all our needs, and sometimes, we accumulate a lot of debt from school fees to food. With this transfer, I was able to pay all the debts which were $170, bought clothes for myself and the children that cost $30, and bought food with the rest of the money."

"Give Directly has changed people's lives in this village. It has eradicated poverty. It has helped people to build iron sheets-roofed houses. The whole village is happy about Give Directly. You have transfers to every house hold other than per compound. This was great since it avoided conflicts that could have arised among different house holds that live in the same compound. May you continue helping other needy people every where you go. I don't see any where that you should improve."

"I want to continue educating my six children until they finish school. I will be able to achieve this by saving little by little from my daily income. I would also request GiveDirectly for an additional transfer since I still have a long way to go with my family. An additional transfer will give me a big boost."

"I am happy because of receiving these transfers and I thank God for the same. Since I started receiving these transfers, my life changed for the best. The help you gave me was so great. I thank you so much for this I don’t take it for granted. Many people spent money on basic needs like food, shelter, and education but I spent it very differently and I believe it is going to make a difference in my life"

"Where I stay right now there is no any operating shop. I am planning to open a shop and save my neighbors from traveling far in search of basic commodities. I am planning to borrow money from Merry go round and start the business hence return with interest after sometime."

"I hope to accomplish making my dream to come through,by building my house and make a very big business that I Will always remember give-directly organization."
