"I am a small scale farmer with no other job to rely on. I have developed passion for farming since it has supported my family more so my children education. I always work towards expanding and improving my farming to earn better. When I received my second transfer, I spent the entire part of it on poultry farming. I made this decision to help earn more through egg sales. Even though some of my birds died due to some diseases having started make it the biggest difference in my daily life. I am looking forward to improve it again for better returns"

"Living in a polygamous family as mother, you are left with major part of responsibilities in the household. I always try my best to give my children the best and also plan to see them in their future lives. At the moment, own cows is the biggest difference in my daily life. I feel good look at them knowing that I have financial securities at same time I always earn through milk sales on a daily basis. I thank GiveDirectly for the support I have a health family since we have milk as part of our meals and also we sell some to buy what we can produce."

"I have made major step towards build a decent house that I wouldn't have made without GD. Among other assets and activities I supported with GiveDirectly's money, I value the most a cow. I looked at it as an added asset that will always support my family. We have more milk produce for both household use and sales. I also expect offsprings from that will always be my security."

"I believe education is the key to make my children's life better thus I have to persist overwhelming needs to make sure that I pay their fee. I majorly depend on casual jobs and subsistence farming to raising an income to support ever-rising pressing family needs. I had seen myself lucky to have my children in school and colleges but raising their fees had been a big struggle for me with the limited resources I have. When I received GiveDirectly transfers, I was able to pay my children school fees. Currently, I am happy and hopeful since GiveDirectly has given me a handy hand to realize my goal."

"In the next six months, my expected changes in my life is an improved health status. I have not been feeling well for quite some times now but I have been hopeful that I will get the right medication which will heal me."

"In the next six months, I don't expect any change since sourcing money currently is a bit hard. Our savings plan might be too slow but I believe that we will soon be okay."

"In the next six months it is my expectation that some changes as far as the construction of a new house is a concern. We have laid down strategies towards the same and we are hopefully that we will have made some steps by the end of six months."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now have a place to call my own. The transfer I received from GiveDirectly not only enabled me to own a piece of land but to also build a decent and spacious house for my family. Also, my children were able to study last year without being sent back home. Due to this, there was an improvement in their performance."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now have access to clean water at my doorstep. Due to this, I no longer spent most if my quality time looking for clean water for use but I use it looking after my livestock or working in my farm."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to own some assets that we can rely on in case of financial crisis in the future. Also, I am glad that this sheep that I bought using the transfers have started reproducing and increase in number."
