"Receiving my transfer was a turning point for me, as I saw it as an opportunity to uplift my family's living standards. My husband and I mainly rely on farming, which is not always productive, and we have three children to care for. When I received my second transfer, I knew exactly what to do with it. I decided to invest in a dairy cow worth $370, which would help us save money on buying milk every day at the cost of $0.5 per litre. I also used $50 to renovate our house, which had been dilapidated for a while. With the remaining amount, I purchased enough foodstuffs to sustain us for a while. All of these things were impossible to accomplish before due to a lack of funds. I am immensely grateful for the support that has remarkably transformed our lives."

"My primary goal for the year's end is to have a substantial goat herd, which will serve as the foundation of my livestock-selling enterprise. Despite having productive land, my ability to make a living through crop cultivation is hindered by severe weather conditions. Consequently, my solution is to purchase and sell livestock at a considerable profit margin, enabling me to support my children by providing them with food and paying for their education"

"As a father, nothing is more important to me than ensuring that my children receive a good education. I firmly believe that education is the key to their future success and independence. When I see my children studying, it feels me with hope because I know that they have the potential to make a positive impact on the world. To support their education, I plan to expand my goat-rearing business, which has already proven to be a profitable source of income. The profits will go towards paying for my children's school fees, as well as providing for our daily needs. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for their assistance, which has enabled me to invest in my family's future. I am determined to provide my children with the opportunities and resources they need to thrive and achieve their full potential."

"I am passionate about the idea of keeping livestock as a means of generating a sustainable income for myself. However, the drought conditions on my land pose a significant challange but I am not one to back down easily. I am taking a proactive approach to this situation and exploring all possible options. I am looking into investing in drought-resistant breeds of livestock and implementing water conservation practices that can help me overcome the drought conditions."

"GiveDirectly is doing a great job in terms of providing financial support to the less fortunate in the society like me. I have so managed to have electricity and a water tank courtesy of GivedDireclty and also many people have managed to achieve their dreams. I addition, GiveDirectly is doing everything great and there is nothing to improve on."

"The transfers had been so far of great help to me. At my current age, I feel that could no longer engage in other duties like walking for long distances in search of water, therefore I wanted to install tap water in my home so that I do not struggle much since I also do not have someone to help me out with the duties. Therefore, with the transfers that I received, I spent part of my first transfer and $77 of my second transfer on water installation, and currently, I feel so happy. My last-born child is currently in his final year at the university, and getting money to pay for his school fees had always been quite a challenge, but with GiveDireclty coming into my life, I managed to clear his pending balance of $200. The remaining transfer was also of great help in terms of adding more stock to my fish-selling business where I spent $123 and saved $150 for my future needs. This was a God-sent program and I was very grateful for being one of the beneficiaries."

"The transfers that I received had been of great help. My greatest wish had always been to have a dairy cow because it had been quite hectic for me to buy milk on a daily basis considering the larger family that I have, and finally my dreams came true courtesy of GiveDirectly. With the recent transfers, I managed to buy a dairy cow worth $350, something that I was so grateful for. I also wanted to improve my house to have a new and better look and therefore with part of the transfers, I spent $100 on extending part of the house. With food and education as some of the most important necessities, I ensured that I paid the pending balance of $5 to my two children who are in Grades one and two respectively and also bought food for the family worth $5. GiveDirectly had brought me a long way and words would not express how happy and grateful I currently am ."

"GiveDirectly is doing everything good and also doing a good job in terms of supporting us financially to enable us to have a better life. Without the support, I would have struggled so much to get the money for my house construction and I am forever grateful."

"My goal was to have a better house. The house that I had was in a dilapidated state and it was my wish and hope to build a better one to accommodate my family, but getting the money to start the construction had not been that easy. With GiveDirectly transfers, I managed to start the construction and now it is at 80% completion. I can now afford a smile like my neighbors. I also want to start a livestock rearing project, therefore, I bought a goat and I believe that it will give birth to more offspring and increase the population."

"We are now a happy family before we were living in a bad house but now with the financial support, we were able to renovate the whole roof and walls of our house. I was able to buy food and clothes for my family. Without the donation we couldn't be able to do all the things .I thank Givedirectly for coming in our village my life is better now."
