"Had it been the support from GiveDirectly, I would not have managed to replace the old bedding. I was previously sleeping on old and worn out mats. I managed to buy a new mattress and a new bed. I also have goats that I can readily rely on in case of a financial need."

"I have been able to construct a new house through this transfer. I was previously living in a grass thatched house but currently, I shelter in an iron roofed house. I also have some goats to keep and rear which I am expecting them to reproduce and have many of them. These will sort me out in case of any financial need. I also replaced the bedding with a new mattress and bed to sleep on comfortable unlike before when I was sleeping on mats and used rags."

"My life is currently different because I managed to buy enough building materials to build a new house. I also have goats to keep in my homestead. I can readily depend on in case of a financial problem."

"Before the coming of GiveDirectly, I was sheltering in my neighbors house. Since my house had collapsed and I lacked thee money to buy thee necessary materials. My life is now different because I now built a new house to live in. I now access to a good shelter unlike before. I also bought a cow and goats that I am currently rearing in my homestead. My expectation is that they will reproduce and have many of them. I will be getting milk which I can sell and earn an income."

"My life is currently different in that the transfer has majorly enabled me to buy goats and cows. I did not have these livestock before GiveDirectly came. I know these are assets to me and I can readily lean on them in case of a financial need."

"I was operating a business but it was not doing well. Thus the transfer has enabled me to buy more stock and increased my earnings. I also paid for my motorcycle since I had acquired it on loan. I am getting an income through this motorcycle. I wouldn't have achieved this at my own cost."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a new iron roofed house. This has been my biggest dream which has been fulfilled by the coming of GiveDirectly. I couldn't manage to buy any of the materials at my own cost. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for enabling me to build a new house."

"Had it not been the transfer from GiveDirectly, then I would still be living in my small grass thatched house. My life is currently different because I now live in an iron roofed house. I wouldn't have managed to buy any of these were it not for this financial support."

"Before the coming of GiveDirectly, I was living in a grass thatched house. My life is currently different because I have been able to build a new house, spacious and iron roofed. Apart from the house, I also have heifers that I am keeping in my homestead. These are living assets that I can readily depend on in case of a financial need."

"One of my daughters got divorced a few years ago and she came back home. Being an old woman and with no constant source of income, putting up with her and her children in my house since that time has been a great burden of responsibility. Money I would otherwise spend for my welfare would go towards her children's school fee and food. This is the biggest hardship I've faced."
