" My life is different in that we were able to pay school fees for our children. The money was paid in full amount,guaranteeing my children ample school and study time with no interruption of being sent back home to collect the fee which were not there altogether. I also have a cow. When the cow calves, I will also have a source of income from the sale of milk from it. The milk is also food to my children hence I would not spend most of the money in procurement of milk for family. Also, the money played a big role in ensuring that shortage of food problem was eradicated once and for all. "

"I now havde a cow, can sell, milk and have money to help sort other prpducts. I have a chicken, which gives us products that can be sold and get income Had it not for money, I would not have bought a cow which is currently providing milk for my family. Sometimes I also sell milk for income. My children are now happy, their health improved and I nolonger face stress which usually comes out of lack of money since I get money from the sale of cow products such as milk to help me sort out other household needs. Again if I did not have the transfers from GiveDirectly, I wouldn't have bought chicken which are currently my main source of income."

" Had it for the tranfers that I received, I wouldn't have paid school fees for my child who was in college at the time. She already completed schooling courtesy of timely fees payment. I also bought goats which I am currently keeping. I also have a well built house that I live in, where I feel comfortably. When the cow calves, I will also have a source of income from the sale of milk from it. The milk is also food to my children hence I would not spend most of the money in procurement of milk for family. "

"My life is currently different because of the livestock that I bought with the transfers. I am currently a dairy farmer as I sell about 5 liters of milk and use about 3 liters for household consumption. I have stopped buying milk which means that my household daily expenditure has significantly reduced. I am easily able to provide for my family using both the income from selling milk and also by having some to consume without having to spend a penny."

"I have not been able to construct a decent house for myself due to financial challenge I am facing. Receiving this money has enabled me to build a new decent house for my family which is still in construction. The one-roomed, iron roofed house has gained me the happiness I had lost for long.Truly, I feel that this is the biggest difference in my daily life. Secondly, a pair of oxen which has also attributed to food security in my household. This is because the pair has been very useful in cultivating a bigger area of my farm as compared to tilling this land by myself. On a few occasions, I have also been able to hire this pair to my neighbors and earn extra income."

"Before GiveDirectly came, I already had my hotel business, but it was not doing good enough because I wasn't cooking variety of foods, therefore, I had few customers. With the transfers, I am glad that no customer has to turn away for lack of his or her desired meal. I am now able to make more savings and provide for my family since I am the breadwinner after my husband was attacked by stroke thereafter rendered him helpless. I also own a dairy cow and its calf which is a big achievement and a life changer which I could not have obtained without GiveDirectly"

"If I had never received the transfer, I would not have gotten money to expand my shop business. As a result, my income has increased. I think it increased my income by up to 20% - 30 % per month. I am receiving a lot of customers because my shop is always full. No one comes to my shop and miss whatever it is that they are looking for."

"My life is difference than it would have been if I never received money from GiveDirectly since I have acquires a solar panel that would have taken me five years or more to purchase. I have an intention of starting a barber shop and I intend to use this solar panel to serve as lighting and a source of heat for any electrical appliance which shall be used there. Meanwhile the solar lamp serves for lighting purposes in my household. Due to this, my children nowadays do their revision in the evening without any problems."

"Early last year my husband was involved in a grisly road accident and since then, he has been admitted in the hospital for checkups and other medication. Having spent almost all the transfer on paying his medication because he needed medical attention to save his life is the difference difference in my life that I can highlight which the transfer has brought. I am glad we had these money at the right time to help in catering for medical bills. I honestly do not know how I would have managed to raise the money without GD."

"I felt so happy the moment I received money from GiveDirectly. I had never received any money from anyone whatsoever especially in large sums like the ones that I received.The amount of joy that I felt was simply immeasurable. The thought of being able to accomplish the things that I thought would not be accomplished anytime soon was amazing."
