"I have no spent the second transfers but I am planning to build the house with the materials I bought using the first transfer and buy fertilizer."

"The biggest difference in my life would be to have a house with a cemented floor. I am very thankful."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now sleeping on comfortable beddings unlike before when I use to sleep on the floor. I was always feeling back pain in the morning."

"Being the rightful owner of a piece of land that I can start developing is a great feeling to me. I had been living in my parents' land, and as a single mother, it was so hard for me to raise such a huge amount at once to pay for a piece of land. I am grateful GiveDirectly made this possible, and I will soon be constructing a new house so that I can move out of my parent's piece of land."

"The urge to venture into farming had just been a dream to me as I have lived to work in people's farms, helping them reap great produce. I am so glad that I am now realizing my dream that would not have ever happened without the transfers I received."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now able to meet the needs of the family more easily. Through the transfer,I was able to purchase enough food and clothing for my family members."

"I spent my transfer to purchase building materials including 18 iron sheets for $160, building poles, timber for $90, and paying labour charges. This was for the construction of a new house since the one I had was leaking due to the rusty roof and it had started to lean on one side. In addition, I used $70 to clear the fee arrears of my daughter who is in secondary school. This is because she was constantly sent home due to the fee problem something that has affected her performance. I also bought enough food with the remaining amount."

"I am so grateful for being considered in this program. I am an old person and the money will help me a lot. I struggle to find food and the money will aid me in buying food. I will also buy some bags of fertilizer in readiness of the next growing season. I will also buy some clothes."

"Hunger is the main challenge. We don't have enough food."

"I am really grateful for being considered in this program. This means a lot to me. I just built a house and much is needed to finalise it. The money will aid me to finalise my house. I will also buy food. This year, my harvest was not enough. I will also buy some bags of fertilizer."
