"As a student responsible for covering my own school fees through transfers, my immediate focus is on settling my current year's fee arrears, which stand at a manageable $40. Once this financial obligation is met, my next objective is to embark on saving towards the construction of my own house. To facilitate this goal, I plan to allocate $20 of my transfers towards purchasing iron sheets, an essential material for the construction process. The remaining portion of the transfers will be allocated to address recurrent needs such as food and other necessities. The desire for a place to call my own is motivated by the current discomfort of residing at my uncle's house. Owning a house will not only provide me with a sense of independence and privacy but also offer a comfortable and secure living environment. By prioritizing the clearance of my fee arrears and diligently saving towards homeownership, I aim to realize my aspiration of owning a house and achieving greater stability and autonomy in my living arrangements."

"My main focus is securing a better home for my family. Our current house is almost collapsing. I've had to resort to purchasing poles just to prop it up temporarily. My plan is to join a merry-go-round group and contribute the cash transfers from GiveDirectly towards purchasing building materials. With the rainy season looming, there's a sense of urgency to provide a safer home for my family. I'm determined that I will achieve this through the support of the cash transfers."

"With the help of the cash transfers I've been receiving from Givedirectly, I'm looking forward to achieving several goals in the coming year. I'm excited that soon, I will be owning a motorbike. This will not only enable me to run my own business but also help me to comfortably pay off the motorbike loan. Additionally, I plan to use the funds to build my family a permanent house, as our current one cannot withstand the harsh rainy weather. Furthermore, I will acquire more livestock and venture into dairy farming for an additional income generation. Givedirectly has given me hope in life."

"With the support of Givedirectly transfers and my earnings, I'm diligently saving towards a goal for the coming year. My aim is to own a motorbike, which I see as the key to creating a sustainable source of income. Moreover, I plan to start a family, by finding a wife with whom I can build a stable home. Despite my aspirations, I remain committed to supporting my siblings until they're able to stand on their own feet. I'm forever grateful for the monthly transfers from GiveDirectly."

"GiveDirectly's officers maintained a high level of patience and humility. They were easy to understand and work with, which made the enrollment process smooth and accessible for us. Moreover, I appreciate the educational aspect of GiveDirectly's program, particularly its focus on wise spending. This education has empowered individuals in our community to make informed decisions about how to allocate their funds, ensuring that they address their most pressing needs without misuse. Thanks to GiveDirectly's support. I hope that you continue to extend your helping hand to more people. The impact on our community is great, and I believe continued efforts will make a positive difference in the lives of many more individuals and families."

"I currently have six goats. I want to invest more in goats and, once they multiply, I plan to sell them and buy dairy cows. This will create an opportunity for me to sell milk and generate income, especially since I am currently unemployed due to fracturing my hand in a motorcycle accident. I am determined to save enough to improve my children's lives and secure their future."

"I am currently staying home, looking after my children since I don't have a job. We live in a small metal sheet house, and with all five of us here, it is starting to feel really uncomfortable, but I am determined to change that. I am saving up from my involvement in a merry-go-round, and I am excited to start building a bigger house for my family."

"I am currently at home taking care of my children. I want to invest more in chickens and sell them. Currently, I have two and will study more on how to take care of them and buy their medication so that they won't die. The more I buy, the more they will hatch, and I will sell them to acquire goats. This will help me in securing my children's future."

"My goal is to join college. I completed my high school in 2022, and I am saving towards joining school in August. Despite initially aspiring to study pharmacy, financial constraints led me to opt for tailoring, a field I am passionate about. After completing my tailoring course, I plan to invest in a sewing machine and start my own business. I intend to locate it in town to attract more customers. Once I have earned enough, I will pursue my dream of studying pharmacy to achieve my ideal life."

"I am eager to start a cyber business where I will assist students with their assignments. As a teacher, seeing my students succeed brings me great joy. Now, I aim to extend that support beyond the classroom, making learning about computers easier and more accessible for them. I am planning to start it when my savings and salary are enough to open the cyber. I am yet to do research on how much will be needed to start this business."
