"My life is different that it would have been if I never receive the transfer in that I have built a kitchen. Before, I was living in a single roomed house with that a kitchen, a living room, and a place to sleep in.Therefore, I decided to build a kitchen with this money hence I have a place to cook and my children to sleep in which as enhanced privacy in a bigger way."

"I was happy because I saw that would finally have a well spacious decent home. My children would no longer walk at night in order to study or squeeze themselves in our neighbor's homes. I no longer feel like a bother to them. It feels good to sleep will all family members in one roof."

"The biggest difference in my life ever since Give Directly came to my life is that I now feel secure after building a house. I finally own home unlike before when everyone considered me to be someone without a home because of the previous home as my grandparents'. The current house is decent and more appealing compared to my grandfather's. It had become old and dilapidated and could fall at any time. It was also in the control of my uncles who would not allow me to be free and make any improvements."

"I would not have been able to build a spacious house for my family were it not for GiveDirectly. Before, we were living in a one room house that was serving us as a kitchen, bedroom and living room because the income of our household which came from manual jobs was minimal hence saving it to do bigger project couldn't be possible. Today, my children enjoy doing their assignments and study in the evening since the distractions is minimal due to the spacious area. On the other hand, I no longer shy away to invite friends and relative in my house. Thanks to GiveDirectly for everything."

"I feel lucky and blessed since through the financial help from GiveDirectly. I have been able to pay for a plot of land and built my own homestead which has lasted me five years after my husband passed away to accomplish. I am at peace since continuous arguments and quarrel with my in - laws and their children that affect our relationship is a story of the past. Today, we are living happily with my children whom for a period of time forgot how happiness felt like. Thanks to GiveDirectly for bring this difference in my family's lives and mine too."

"In the next six months, I am happy to see my child go to the school of her dream. She is doing so well given that this is where she loves schooling. I put a lot of emphasis on giving her a good education. In the next six months, she will be doing better academically than at the moment. This is my biggest hope for the near future."

"I have managed to open a motorcycle spare parts business and created employment to my nephew who works in this shop since is a trustworthy person. The business is now doing very well because of the availability of stock and considering the high demand of the spare parts. With the profits, and income from selling part of my farm produce since I am a farmer providing for my family's needs has become easier which I wouldn't have achieved without GD."

"As a middle age woman passionate about farming as one of my source of income, receiving money from GiveDirectly was a breakthrough towards expanding and improving my poultry farming to earn better. Today, the birds I bought they have grown to the egg laying stage hence I earn more through selling these eggs since their production have increased. I am glad that GiveDirectly has empowered my life in a bigger way which cannot be explained through words."

"GiveDirectly's transfers empowered me to purchase a motorcycle to operate as a boda-boda which my husband rides . Three years after my spouse lost his driving job . It has always been hard for us to meet end meat easily because the income we earned was reliant on casual jobs that was too little to barely cater for our family's needs. I bought a motorcycle for him that is now helping us to keep our family running as it is a promising source of income. Its nice to see the happy side of my husband once again . All thanks to GiveDirectly because I this I would have not achieved had did not for GiveDirectly."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received these transfers in that I now own a pair of oxen. I will be using my own pair of oxen to plough my farm thus no more costs would be incurred through hiring my neighbor's oxen. Previously, I would hire from my neighbors which were a bit costly hence could sometimes delay my farming. I am now happy that owning these pair will make my farming much easier and cheaper. I am expecting a better harvest which would ensure food security for my family."
