"As soon as I have some money, my current goal is to build a house for my son. Now that I have the building supplies, my goal is to secure the labor costs so that the work may start. I have faith that I will be able to accomplish my aim through the little enterprises I run. Not only will this make me happy, but it will also give my son the confidence he needs to live on his own."

"By the time I got the second transfer, my secondary school student had already been sent back home. I promptly paid the remaining $100 in his tuition fees since I respect his education. He has returned to school and is currently making academic progress. I then decided to spend $130 on a cow. Since I wanted to invest in cow ranching, this was something I had long desired. Every time the cow reproduces, it will not only add to the herd but also supply some milk for my family. When I had finished doing that, I decided to finish building the house I had begun using the first transfer. I spent $5 on roofing timbers and $49 on five iron sheets to make up for the missing building supplies. The contractor's work cost me $150. I bought meals for my family using the remaining money."

"My two secondary school-aged sons' outstanding $180 in school fees needed to be paid as soon as I got the second transfer. They are content right now because they are now settled and focusing on their schoolwork. After that, I decided to renovate my mud-walled house into a block-walled one. I made this choice because I wanted a permanent dwelling for security reasons and since the house I had was not just about to collapse. I spent $200 on some construction supplies, including cement and building bricks, to accomplish this. The materials cost me $300 in total, so I decided to keep them rather than start the remodeling because it might put a strain on my finances. I stocked up on food for my family using the remaining funds."

"It has been difficult for me to pay the school expenses for my eight kids. After receiving the transfer, I spent $105 to resolve the bothersome school fee issue. The hardest thing was having to pull my kids out of school due to tuition. The kids are now doing well in their academics and are extremely delighted that they are back in school. Since their happiness is also my happiness, this provides me comfort. Because their shirts and blouses were ripped, I also used $35 to purchase some school outfits for them. Additionally, I spent $78 on some maize flour bales, of which I have now purchased four. I choose to utilize $150 to launch a boutique business in addition to the occasional tailoring work I do for a living after divorcing my spouse. Thereafter, I decided to save the balance for the family's maintenance."

"GiveDirectly is a company that sustains life. It saved me at just the right moment when I most needed it. I was able to utilize the money to build a large house and buy food for my family. Because I don't have any established sources of income, it used to be difficult for me to put food on the table. I cannot fault the organization's actions; I am only reiterating what it did."

"I have plans to expand my business into a bigger enterprise that will serve at least three more villages by the end of this year. To achieve this goal, I am currently searching for a larger business premise to sell my products from. Expanding my business means I will have more customers and, in turn, more income. This will make me financially stable and able to meet my family's needs. I am thankful for the financial boost from the organization that has helped me improve my life and escape poverty."

"Give Directly performed an outstanding job by providing unconditional cash, which was a brilliant idea because it allows all of us to meet our own needs to the best of our abilities. It's also excellent since no one has to know about your difficulties and troubles unless you want them to, which means you don't have to avoid dealing with different situations in your household because you get to do it yourself."

"Due to the harsh weather conditions, the farm that has been my primary source of income is no longer productive. As a result, I am seeking a new and stable source of income. I am considering venturing into the livestock rearing and selling business as an alternative source of income. This would involve buying young goats at a lower price and selling them for a higher price in the market. I am optimistic that the monthly transfers I receive can be used wisely to invest in this new venture. With careful planning and smart investments, I believe I can successfully build a profitable business. Ultimately, this new income stream will provide a greater level of financial stability for myself and my family"

"My wife has been sick for the past few months. She was poisoned, which resulted in her illness. I carried her to the sick bush for treatment but she is yet to recover. I'm a fisherman . All my little money from my business was spent on her illness. Givedirectly cash helped me to relocate her to another area in Ivroycoast to seek another herbalist who could treat her completely. With the help of God's grace, she is responding to treatment. The remaining money I purchase some fishing nets to catch some fish for sustainability."

"In the near future, I'm hoping to become one of the biggest business women in my town, where I will be supplying a lot of people in and around my neighbouring town. With hard work and determination, it will come to pass."
