"My life is different than it would have been. Currently the floor of my house is cemented and I have a steel door. Not only do I find it easy to clean my house but also have been spared from chocking in the dust from time to time. Moreover my house is more secured because of the steel door."

"My life is different from how it was in that, I am now a proud owner of a home besides having completed repaying the motorcycle loan which is my source of income."

"The biggest difference in my life brought by the transfers is the business I have now. I had struggled through all the means I had in mind like taking a loan to start a business but I could not. The business was just a dream because through my savings in the group, I could not get the amount of money needed for the capital. This is why I decided to use the transfers to make a difference in my life by starting the business. Right now, I have a reliable source of income which will sustain my needs for as long as I have it. Thank GD."

"I spent my transfer on buying building materials such as iron sheets, timber and nails which I used in putting up my own house. I have never built a house of my own yet I have a family. It was time to have one but due to low income, I did not have one. The rest of the transfer I used to start up clothes nd shoe business which we have been managing with my wife. I did not have a stable source of income before the transfers and I wanted to have a business which will help me meet my family needs well and in time. I am glad my life has really changed and I no longer struggle as I used to."

"I used to own one cow before I sold it in order to pay for my spouse's school fees. After that, I had not gotten enough resources to help me buy another cow. When these transfers came, I decided to spend a big portion of it to buy a few cows. Frow how it helped me pay the school fees before, I know these cows would be of help to me in the future apart from the supply of milk."

"Having a farm to grow short-season crops is one big difference in my life. I leased a small piece of land in which I have potatoes, a second crop that is doing well. The first harvest was huge that I had to grow another one immediately. It coincided with a good season in the market and fetched me quite an amount of money. I bought a bull so that I continue making profits from this farming venture. I sell the crops and use that money to invest in livestock. I regard having this piece of land as a blessing since I make money from it. GiveDirectly has set me off on a good path of economic improvement through farming."

"My life is currently different from how it was before because we now dress decently and put on clean clothes. We used to wear tattered clothes that had not been washed for so long due to the lack of money to use in buying soap or new clothes. Also, my transfer enabled me to pay for our house rent at a time when our landlord had threatened that he will throw us out of the house if I had not managed to pay house rent before the week elapses. This saved my family from the embarrassment of being laughed on by other people in our estate."

"My life is different from how it would have been because with the transfer, I was able to practice timely cultivation and used hybrid seeds. Due to this, my family has been having enough food to last us till the next harvesting season after selling part of the produce. This has enabled me to always meet our daily needs on time unlike before."
