"My life is now different because I now own some dairy cows. I settled in purchasing dairy cows because I can sell some I case of any emergency or tragedy comes along in life in addition to that I be getting plenty of milk which I will be selling in the local market and to neighbors, and the money got from the sell will be used for the start of a kiosk business.this will be an additional income that will help settle all the bills and my household expenses."

"Owning a permanent spacious house is the biggest difference in my daily life. I have been yearning to construct a decent house but due to my low financial status, I could not afford it. My previous house was in bad condition and very small. Whenever it rained especially when it was at night, we could not sleep till dawn. My children were even forced to sleep at my neighbor's house of which they were uncomfortable. The coming of GiveDirctly has changed everything because I am now sleeping under a decent semi-permanent house. I am now as happy as a parent. I can even invite some of my friends unlike before whereby I felt embarrassed."

"Having my own house that I constructed from the financial help from GiveDirectluy has made my life to be so different that I never expected. This is because I have always been seeking shelter from my friends and relatives for all these years, especially during the rainy seasons. Thus was so stressful because sometimes it was so embarrassing. I feel so confident now and happy parents as well. We re now living happily as a family without worrying about the rains."

"Having have started the poultry farming had really brought the biggest difference in my daily life. I started this project due to favorable weather conditions in my region which help it do well, in two weeks to come some will have started to lay eggs, this will make them increase in number within a short period of time. so I will be selling the chicks in large numbers hence making a profit. This will uplift my standard of living hence making me pay my bills in time."

"I spent part of my first first transfcer on buying some building materils such as iron sheets, bulding materials, nails and timber. This was purposely for the construction of a new house for my children. I then clered schholl chool fees fr my children becasue they have staying he for like two weeks now. I am so glad because the money came in good time since imanaged to send my chilsren to school. I then bought a dairy cow as my potential asset that i can depend on. The remaining amount of money, I am using it buyoing some some enough foodstuffs for my family amd some other househild items that i was lacking."

"This is what I have been longing to keep in my compound for so many years but because they were costly, I could not afford it. The goats normally reproduce faster as compared to the other livestock and this is the main reason why I settled in buying them. In the next few months, their number will have increased and I am planning to start a business of selling the offsprings to the markets and get an income since I am jobless. I will now be able to pay school fees for my children without straining like before."

"One of my daughters will be finishing her high school education at the end of the year. This will lessen the financial burden that I currently have. This will give me an opportunity to buy an additional cow to add to the one that I currently have. This cow will be an additional source of mil for household and commercial use and it will improve our financial status as a family and this is what I expect to change."

"My life is different from how it was in that, I have rested from doing casual jobs that I used to fully depend on to make ends meet. Also, I now have some assets that I did not have before courtesy of GiveDirectly. It would have taken me a lot of years to achieve this at my own cost. I will always depend on these assets in case of any financial challenges."

"I had just woken up and was preparing to start my daily routine when I received a message notification of the transfer. I had been expecting the money as I had been promised to receive it around that date so I was not so surprised, but I was very excited and all I could do was to give thanks to God for such a blessing and an opportunity to change our lives."

"The biggest difference in my daily life after receiving the transfer is the construction of a new house to the completion on a raised ground where we are no longer facing that flooding challenges whenever it rains. I am really thankful and praying for GiveDirectly in any other project they are yet to start in other villages."
