"I am excited to share that I have achieved my goal of expanding my clothing business, and I have to thank GiveDirectly for playing a key role in making it possible. It feels great to see my business grow, and I'm motivated to keep pushing forward."

"I am determined to turn my passion for fashion into a successful business by opening a clothing store that showcases my unique styles and offers a wide range of fashionable items. I am incredibly grateful to GiveDirectly for enabling me to start selling from home, and I am now excited to take my business to the next level of starting my own amazing store. This is possible because of the monthly transfers I started receiving from GiveDirectly."

"I had always dreamed of building an additional room for my children, as they were sharing a room with the boys due to limited space. It was a constant struggle to provide them with privacy, and I was determined to create a better living environment for my girls. Thanks to the support from GiveDirectly."

"Building another room has always been my top priority since our two-roomed house is small and cramped. My boys share a room, and the two girls share another, which isn't ideal. Thanks to GiveDirectly's financial support, I am now able to make this dream a reality. I am grateful for their assistance, and I can't wait to build an additional room for my two girls. This extra space will provide them with the comfort and privacy they deserve, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to improve our living conditions."

"For as long as I can remember, my ultimate goal has been to fix my house. The rain leaks have been a never-ending nightmare, causing damage to my household and everything in it. But now, I can finally say that I've achieved my dream, thanks to the generosity of GiveDirectly. With their financial support, I was able to purchase the necessary materials to fix the leaks, and I now live in a safe and secure hause. I am deeply grateful to GiveDirectly for making my dream a reality."

"At approximately 3:15 p.m., while I was busy tending to household chores at home, my phone rang. Although I don't usually check my text messages, I had developed a habit of being attentive to my phone since I was expecting some cash transfers. When I paused to read the message, I was elated to learn that GiveDirectly had sent me some money. It was a moment of sheer happiness, and I was overjoyed. As soon as my husband arrived home, I shared the news with him, and he was equally thrilled. We immediately started planning how to make the most of the transfer."

"For a long time, I have nurtured a lifelong aspiration to start a dairy goat project, which I believed would improve my financial standing. I earn a living by working in a nearby hotel, taking up casual jobs. I am married and blessed with a child. When we received our transfers, my primary objective was to purchase five goats worth $190, and use the rest of the funds to buy essential food items. However, due to my financial limitations, this seemed like an uphill task before. I am immensely grateful and fulfilled to have achieved so much with the help of the transfer."

"As I look forward to the coming year, my eyes are set on a new ambition: to become an expert in goat rearing. With this, I hope to increase my profits and have a reliable source of income. To make this dream a reality, I plan on using my second transfer to invest in more goats. I am confident that with the right care and attention, my goats will multiply and lead to a fruitful business. Reflecting on my past achievements, I am filled with happiness and gratitude. I am proud of what I have accomplished so far, but I know that there is always room for growth and improvement. With determination and hard work, I am confident that I will achieve my goal of becoming a successful goat farmer."

"In the coming year, I would want to raise enough cash to finance my children throughout their educational journey. This has so far been the major challenge, and my wish is to see them grab a better education and be responsible souls in the future. I never got the chance to go to school because of the poverty that had struck our lives, and therefore I do not wish any of my kids to undergo what I experienced."

"In my opinion, the organization did well by ensuring that every household was visited and fairly enrolled. Also, the idea of offering me an unconditional cash transfer stood out since I was able to choose what worked better for me. Also, this cash was nonrefundable, unlike that from the other organizations, which was the contrary. This makes GiveDirectly so unique."
