"I did not have any livestock in my homestead before the coming of GiveDirectly. However, after getting my transfer, I am now boasting of owning a pair of oxen and some goats. With the pair of oxen, I am assured of ploughing my farm timely and I am expecting to plough my whole acreage thus getting a good harvest. I also enrolled to a tailoring course through this money. I paid for the tuition fee and also acquired a new sewing machine that will enable me to start my own tailoring shop. This will be a source of income to me."

"I never anticipated that I would get a bed and a mattress to sleep on. Through the money, I managed to replace my bedding with a new bed and a mattress which I am sleeping on comfortably. I also have some two heifers that I am currently keeping in my homestead. These are my assets which I can readily depend on in case of a financial need."

"My life is different now because I now have a pair of oxen to help me in my farming. With the pair of oxen, I am assured of doing my farming early and timely for better harvests.The money has also been helpful in building a new house. I did not have a house at first but now have a new one. Having a decent house is the biggest achievement in my life."

"I did not have a good house to live in. My old house was in a very bad state but I couldn't even renovate it. I am happy that I have a new house to live in with my family. I was also operating a business which was not doing well. The money helped me to buy more stock of goods for this shop. Its now doing well and getting a good and increased profit unlike before. I can now fulfill my own basic needs with ease through this income."

"I did not have a house at first thus it was troubling us, having a big family with seven children. I am grateful to GiveDirectly since the money has enabled me to build a good house to live with my family. I also have a pair of oxen that will greatly help me to do my farming timely for a good harvest. I used to hire from neighbours during the planting season which was costly. Having my own pair has relieved me of hiring, instead I will hire to them at a fee earn an income."

"My child was joining high school and I did a shopping for the requirements on reporting including paying for his starting fee. I would have struggled a lot to raise the money for him. I also have a new house that I am currently living which I managed to build with this transfer. I thank GiveDirectly because I now have a good house to live with my family. I also have some goats that I didn't have before the coming of GiveDirectly. These are a saving for the future of my children's education."

"I am grateful to GiveDirectly because I now l have a new house to live in with my family since I was previously living in a small house which was in a very bad state with no hopes of upgrading to a better one. Apart from the house, I also have a pair of oxen that will be helping me in doing my farming timely and effectively. I couldn't have acquired this pair had it not been the financial help from GiveDirectly. I will no longer be hiring the ploughing services like I used to do during planting season."

"The money helped me in enrolling my son to college. Raising college fees was a difficult task for me as a parent since I do not have any source of income to depend on paying for him. I also managed to build a toilet that I am using with my family since we did not have one."

"I now have a pair of oxen that I am using to plough my farm. I used to hire from neighbours during the planting season but now I have my own. I will no longer be hiring from neighbours instead I will hire to them at a fee. I am now assured of ploughing my whole acreage for better harvests. I also have good bedding to sleep on comfortably. I replaced the old and worn out bedding with a new mattress and a bed."

"I now have a pair of oxen to use in my farming. I did not have any before then and I was hiring from neighbours during the planting season. With the pair of oxen, then I won't be hiring again since I have my own. I do my farming timely through this lair for a good harvest. The money has also enabled me to enroll my children in high school and college. They would other wise have stayed at home and not reaching their educational goals since I do not have the resources to take them to school. Its only through the transfer that helped them to join college."
