"My life is different than it would have been if I had never received the transfer in that, I was able to clear the huge fees balances for the children. They are now concentrating with their studies without being interrupted due to lack of fees. Furthermore, very soon I will be living in a comfortable house with my family once I finalize with the construction of the roof."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying some building materials such as building poles, iron sheets 20 pieces, nails, timber, and threads. I purchased all these with an intention of constructing a new house because the previous one was very small and one of its walls had collapsed. Also, I bought four goats that act as my assets that I will be leaning on Incase of any emergency. To add to that, I cleared school fees for my children who are still in primary school. Also I bought new beds and mattresses and I am now sleeping comfortably like a baby. I saved the remaining amount for my son who will transition to high school in August"

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does so well by empowering my whole village. Back in the days, we used in small huts with muddy walls and in every rainy season, it was so stressful. We now have permanent houses which have always been our dream. Secondly, in my village, no one owned livestock, but when we received the transfers, the majority of us have now bought livestock such as cows and goats. Therefore i do not see any part that GiveDirectly failed us"

"My life is different than how it would gave been because I now own two dairy cows. This has always been my dream to own them but I couldn't afford them because they were very expensive and because of my odd jobs, I couldn't afford them. The dairy cows are now producing milk in large quantities and I am so glad because my family is now enjoying taking white tea every morning which has improved their health. In addition, I normally sell the surplus to the nearby dairy shops and generate an income. This income has greatly improved my living stated and I am now in a position to fend for my family without straining like before."

"My everyday life has improved so much since receiving money from Givedirectly, for instance I am building a decent house which will be able to stand affirm during the rains and even the strong winds, so i know that me and my family we are safe."

"I am so glad to be receiving this money from GD I will use it to do maintainance of my house and also put iron sheets in my house"

"The recipient will be able to have enough food and a good place to sleep all thanks to the program"

"R"

"The recipient was so happy and still is cause it's something she has never expected to happen"

"My life is different than how it would have been because I now have several livestock like goats in my homestead. I have always been the dreaming to own them but due to high levels of poverty, I could not afford them. I settled for goats because we live in a semi-arid land which is a climate favorable to keeping goats. Also, goats normally reproduce twice a year and this will be an advantage to me because I am positive they will increase in number within the shortest time. My plan is when they multiply, I will sell the matured offspring and start some other lucrative businesses. I will be able to cater to my family's basic needs with ease like paying school fees for my kids on time."
