" Since the day I cemented my house, its now more comfortable to live in. It is also cool and no dust. Additionally, this days, our child have peaceful study time since we no longer fail to pay his school fees in time. I am very hopeful that he will pass in their exams as they prepare for a bright future. "

"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. We have since been able to fend for ourselves. We nolonger face food shortage as it has been before. My spouse begun the business where he buys and sells cows at a profit something we had thought it won't be possible. "

" 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. Had it not for GiveDirectly, we wouldn't have gotten money to build the new house which is currently offering me comfort in terms of shelter and also cold. On this season where the rains have been high, we usually face problems with our houses where we've been rained on, exposing us to adverse climatic conditions leading to diseases. My life is now very different from how it was in those ages where we couldn't afford money to help built them. "

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because my family now has access to clean water for consumption and domestic use. This has been possible since I was able to purchase a water tank using my first transfer and I now use it to harvest rain water. Also, I have been able to cement my house and I am glad because the cleaning process has been made easier and it is always clean."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I am now proud owner of a dairy cow. This is an asset to my family that I can rely on in case of a financial crisis. I believe that it will be calving soon and my family will get enough milk for our consumption and for sale."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer because I am now a proud owner of an extra cow. I believe that it will be calving very soon and my milk production will increase hence I will get more income that I will in turn use in paying school fees for my children. Also, I have been able to build a house for my children. Due to this, they always have a place to sleep in comfortably and do their revision without any disturbances."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I was able to pay school fees and cleared fee arrears for my children. Due to this, they were able to study without any interruptions and I have also been able to pay their school fees consistently. Practicing timely cultivation led to increased yields that I believe that it will last us till next harvesting season."

"At the moment, I am a proud owner of a dairy cow. Due to this, I no longer buy milk on a daily basis rather, I earn an income through the sale of milk to my neighbors. Had it not have been for the transfers, I would not have been able to buy this dairy cow."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to build a more permanent house for my family. I believe that I will be relocating to this house very soon since I am only waiting to fix the doors and ceiling. Moving to this house will be a dream come true to me since I have always desired to live in a more cosy home where cleaning is easier and less time consuming."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to start a business of buying and selling maize. Due to this, I have been able to cater for our daily basic needs on time. Also, this business has always kept me busy hence I have no time of worrying thinking of where to get money."
