"The biggest difference is that I am now hopeful of living in my own home. Through the transfers I got from Give Directly I have already bought the necessary building materials. Initially, I only used to depend on casual jobs. The money I got from these jobs was enough to buy basic needs. I used to save nothing towards this goal therefore there were slim chances of establishing my home. I am happy that soon I will be living with my family in our own homestead."

"In the next six months I expect our farming to have picked. I am planning to start with maize plantation since the produce with act both as foodstuff and also for commercial purposes."

"In the next six months, I expect to have started farming. It is my plan that venture first into subsistence facing and when the food we are going to produce will be enough, I can later shift my attention to some commercial farming."

"In the next six months I expect to have revived my small maize-selling business. This business has been so helpful to me since it has been serving all the household requirements."

"My life is now different because I currently own a cows which I would not have managed to buy on my own cost. One of my future goals was to have at least a good source of income. I feel GiveDirectly has fulfilled this since I will be selling milk as these cows reproduce. I also acquired new beddings through this transfer and replaced the old and worn out beddings I have been using for years. I purchased new wooden beds and mattresses for my family. It's a great joy to me because I now have comfortable beddings and also my children unlike before GiveDirectly came to us."

"We believe that poverty was eradicated because we have not faced shortage of food since the day we received the transfers. We now own a cow which we hope that when calves, we will 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. We have a good house which is more spacious and decent than the one which existed before tranfers. "

"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."

"I now have a powersaw which has employed my husband as the operator of this machine. Additionally, the business is currently the main source of income for the family. Had it not for the tranfers, I would not have built a house for our son who is currently in school had no house to sleep and study. Again, the money facilitated payment of his school fees. Nowadays,he is not sent home every now and then. "
