"I am completely satisfied with everything about GiveDirectly, and I don't have any recommendations for changes in their programs. They have been helpful and everything is okay. The support I received from GiveDirectly has made a positive impact on my life, and I have no suggestions for improvement because I am content with the way things are."

"In the coming years, my wish is to start maize farming using Kenya seeds. I plan to sell the harvest and use the earnings to fulfill various needs that I currently do not have. This includes things like buying essential items and taking care of my daily necessities. Achieving this goal would bring happiness and satisfaction to my life, providing a sense of accomplishment and improving my overall well-being."

"Upon receiving the recent $200 transfer from GiveDirectly, my first priority was addressing our immediate needs. With $80, I decided to invest in building a toilet, a crucial step towards improving our hygiene and living conditions. Facing a moment of financial strain, I allocated $20 to purchase essential food items. This decision was particularly important as I have two kids, and my husband was unwell. Ensuring there was food on the table became a top priority for the well-being of my family. I also recognized the need for some basic comforts in our home. Wanting to provide a better seating arrangement for my family, I allocated $16 to buy two plastic chairs. Now, not only do we have improved hygiene with the new toilet, but we also have a more comfortable space to gather as a family. The impact of these allocations extends beyond the tangible items purchased. They have contributed to our overall well-being, creating a more sanitary and comfortable environment for my family during a challenging time."

"I've been aiming to upgrade my sleeping arrangements, replacing the old traditional bed and worn-out mats that no longer provide the comfort I need. I recently made a deposit for a new bed and plan to clear the remaining amount soon. Once I acquire the bed, I intend to also buy a new mattress, transforming my sleeping environment into a comfortable haven. Additionally, I have plans to expand my investments by purchasing more livestock, particularly goats. Currently, I own two goats, and the goal is to buy more, allowing them to reproduce. This move aligns with my reliance on subsistence farming for sustenance, and owning goats serves as a valuable investment. The intention is to breed and eventually sell the goats to address my financial needs effectively."

"I rely primarily on subsistence farming to provide food for my household. To maximize my harvest during planting season, I make every effort to use my acreage to its fullest potential. However, to plow my farm, I have to hire oxen from my neighbors, which is quite costly due to the extensive acreage. Nonetheless, I have decided to save money and eventually buy my own pair of oxen. This will allow me to cultivate my land on time and ensure that every inch is properly tended to, leading to a larger harvest. Furthermore, owning my own oxen will eliminate the need to hire from my neighbors and allow me to rent them out instead. To achieve this goal, I am committed to saving a portion of my transfers each month."

"In the upcoming year, with the cash transfers I am receiving, my primary goal is to construct a modern house that can withstand the challenges of varying weather conditions, providing a secure and comfortable shelter for my family.Simultaneously, I aim to expand my goat flock and acquire a cow, envisioning a sustainable income source that will outlast the duration of the program. While I have a multitude of aspirations, I recognize the importance of pacing myself and taking gradual steps toward these goals, ensuring each endeavor is executed thoughtfully and effectively. With the support of the unconditional cash transfers, I am optimistic about the positive transformations that lie ahead for my family and me."

"My major goal is to complete the construction of my house, a dream I've nurtured for years. Once my home is done, I plan to open a grocery shop in our village, this will address the issue of distance to the nearest market facility. Additionally, I am eager to acquire skills in tailoring, investing in training that will allow me to create and sell clothes. This venture is not only a personal interest but a strategic move for income generation, contributing not only to my own financial stability but also to the economic well-being of my community. I'm so grateful for the assistance we are getting from Givedirectly."

"In my upcoming plans, I intend to construct an additional room to accommodate my three growing children. As they have matured, I recognize the importance of preserving my privacy, prompting the decision to build a separate space for them. This endeavor aims to provide me with a sense of peace, ensuring that my privacy remains intact within the household. I express profound happiness for the financial assistance received from Give Directly, as it has presented me with the opportunity to venture into livestock investment, a promising avenue for generating additional income."

"Having yielded a bountiful harvest from my farm, I am delighted to have an abundance of food that will sustain me for several months. During this period, my intention is to channel my transfers into acquiring livestock, aiming to augment and expand my herd. This strategic investment is made with the foresight that, in case of unforeseen emergencies, I can sell some of the livestock to address urgent financial needs. I am genuinely grateful for the financial support provided through the transfers, which has significantly contributed to improving the quality of my life."

"In the future, my intention is to utilize the transfers to contribute towards supporting my son, who is presently enrolled in university, particularly by covering his accommodation expenses. Ensuring a conducive living environment for him is crucial for his academic success. I take great satisfaction in the fact that the livestock acquired with funds from the transfers played a pivotal role. By selling some of the livestock, I successfully generated funds to settle my son's school fees. This achievement is something I deeply appreciate and for which I am profoundly grateful."
