"In my opinion, GD has done well, providing a substantial amount that I have never seen from any other organization. This has resulted in significant improvements in my community, impacting living standards, education, and agricultural investments. I am grateful that the transfer enabled me to support my daughters' education, bringing a sense of relief and assurance that their learning will not face disruptions. Thank you, GD."

"Facing a leaking and nearly collapsing house, I wisely invested $420 from GiveDirectly to build a two-roomed shelter, ensuring my family's safety and comfort during rainy days. With my husband covering most expenses, including our children's education, I allocated $70 for school fees, addressing overdue payments.To alleviate the financial strain on my husband, who works on a limited income, I spent $60 on purchasing food essentials. The support from GiveDirectly played a crucial role in securing our basic needs, and we express our heartfelt gratitude for the assistance provided."

"I WAS AT MY SEATED, I FELT SO HAPPY THAT AFTER THIS LONG SUFFERING GOD COULD REMEMBER ME"

"Our savings group will be distributing the saved money in February, I have saved for a while now and I had a number of things in mind that I hoped I will achieve using this savings. I have wanted to learn driving, I have a friend who works in the city as a driver and he is usually getting jobs so regularly. I also want to be able to get high paying jobs like he does and so I hope to achieve this by undertaking a driving course. I am also an animal rearer, I would want to add more animals, I have 40 chicken and 7 goats, I had10 goats but I sold 3 due to emergencies. I want to increase the number of this animals as well as add more types of animals to my small farm. I would also want to set up grocery stall which can earn an income. I may not achieve this in succession but this are the things I hope to achieve using my transfers."

"As I said I have a dream of putting up a business selling daily use retail items. My target is to have $500 to start the business and I have so far $210 and still saving towards my goal. My estimate is that I will be able to begin the business next year. I had always wanted to go to college but the lose of my father in 2015 leaving my mother a single mother with four children. She is a farmer and hence never made much to have enough to take us through college. I also married but I live with my wife in my mothers house which I would want to change. I hope through this business I will afford money to go study and become a plumber as well as put up a house for me and my wife."

"I am a single mother with two children, and my primary source of income is farming. Upon receiving my second transfer, I decided to initiate a poultry project to establish a reliable source of income, given that I am the sole provider for my family. I dedicated $200 to set up the poultry venture and also invested $100 in renting a piece of land in preparation for the planting season. Additionally, $22 went towards covering school fees, and the remaining $128 was saved. Choosing poultry farming was a conscious decision, as I saw its potential to offer a consistent income with effective management. The challenges of earning only $3 per day from occasional employment made achieving this goal difficult in the past, as it barely met our basic needs. I am truly thankful to the organization for helping me easily realize my dreams, bringing joy and a sense of accomplishment into our lives."

"GiveDirectly has excelled in all its programs, making a positive impact on the lives of many, including mine. Their efforts have been commendable, providing crucial support that has made a real difference. I have nothing additional to suggest because their current approach is effective and beneficial. The hope is that GiveDirectly will persist in their mission to improve people's lives. The transformative impact they've had is evident, and the desire is for them to continue this positive trajectory, touching more lives and making lasting changes for the better. Their commitment to bettering people's lives is truly appreciated, and the expectation is for this positive work to endure."

"This year, my main goal is to take good care of my cow and goats. I hope to see them multiply, and the thought of achieving this brings me joy. The growth in their numbers is not just about having more animals; it represents a solution to my problems. With their increase, I can sell some and use the income to address various needs, including the education of my children. It's a simple yet meaningful plan that holds the promise of a better future for me and my family."

"GiveDirectly has been doing exceptionally well. Thanks to their support, I've been able to achieve significant milestones, such as owning a home and engaging in farming. The assistance provided has made a positive impact on my life, leaving me with no specific recommendations for improvement. I am grateful for the opportunities and support they've offered, allowing me to build a better future for myself."

"GiveDirectly has made a big difference in my life. I think they should keep doing what they're doing because their programs have really helped me. They should continue changing other people's lives too, just like they did for me. Their support has been important, and I hope more people can benefit from it in the future."
