"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now proud of the owner of the dairy cow and several goats. I opted to buy them because according to my understating, they have so many benefits as compared to the other domestic animals. Currently, my family enjoys milk which has even improved our health. Also in the few days to come, I am planning to sell the remaining liters to my neighbors and generate an income. This money will enable me to cater to my family's needs without straining and buy my monthly drugs on time. Being a widow has been a challenge to me and I am glad there is now a permanent solution to this. Also with the goats, they will be purely for any emergency that may arise, I will sell some and settle the bill."

"My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I was able to pay school fees for my children in various schools. I depent on small scale farming to earn income to support my family in meeting the basic needs including saving some amount to pay school fees for my children. I do not have a continuous source of income. When I received the second transfer, I paid all the school fees and my children were able to study well without being disturbed. Their performance improved compared to other terms. I was able do my chores at home without being disturbed. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed my living standard."

"I spent part of the second transfer on building a shopping premise, I also used some amount to plough my farm on time and planted maize and beans, The rest of the money I paid the outstanding debts that I had borrowed to build a house for my family."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the poor in the community to build better houses and to buy dairy cows. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"I am really grateful for being considered in this program. This means a lot to me. I will use the money to renovate my house. I will also use the money to build a boysquarter where my children will be sleeping. I will also buy some bags of maize, bed and mattresses."

"I now live in a spacious house courtesy of GiveDirectly as I was able to use my transfers to achieve this. Due to this, I have a place where my visitors can sit comfortably, rest and even sleep. In addition, I am a proud owner of a heifer. Even though I still buy milk daily, I am optimistic that this will not be the case anymore. All this would not have been possible had I not received the transfer."

"It had always been my prayer that I would at one time own a capentry shop. I hadnot been able to achieve this due to lack of finances as the little money I usually earn from working was not even enough to cater for our daily basic needs. The transfers came in handy as it enabled me to purchase some tools needed in a capentry shop and I am glad that my dream has finally been realized."

"In my own opinion, GiveDirectly does well by helping everyone without any discrimination and I do not see anything that they do not do well."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I was able to meet my wife's hospital bill without selling a dairy cow as I had planned. In addition, I have been able to build a house for my children. Due to this, they no longer sleep at my neighbors house as they did before. Because of this, I ama now assured of their security at night as they no longer walk around the neighborhood."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by giving out financial aid to people and I do not see anything that they do not do well."
