"Even though I am a business woman, I had been living in a mud-wall house since I couldn't afford to renovate or build permanent house. My children education and daily household needs had been my priorities among my family needs thus I was just forced to live in my mud-wall house and frequently smear it to reduce the dust and prevent cracks. I was so tired with the habit but had nothing to do. The biggest difference in my daily life is being able to renovate my house. I currently live under a plastered house, well cemented and it looks decent. I feel relaxed and so happy with such a decent house that I couldn't have done if it was not for GiveDirectly."

"I am a widow and raising family needs is never easy. I have children in different school that I always struggle to make sure they meet their needs in school. The biggest differences in my daily ever since I received my second transfer from GiveDirectly is the added livestock that I bought. I am so glad to own such assets that I could have gotten if it was for GiveDirectly. I currently enjoy a higher milk production thus have enough for our household consumption and sales. I believe I will be able to meet my family needs in future that my cows will reproduce thus have more offspring to sell for any emergency."

"I am the breadwinner for my family and I do not have a stable source of income. Previously, my daily income from working in peoples farms was always not enough to feed my family but currently, I am able to meet our daily basic needs using my income from dairy project and working for different people. Also, I was able to practice timely cultivation and used hybrid seeds. I am now optimistic of a good harvest that will last us for some time. All this would not have been possible had it not have been for the transfer."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now have milk for our consumption and sale unlike before when we only had for consumption. Owning an additional dairy cow has enabled me to earn income that I currently use in buying some personal needs and food for my family."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer in that, I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. I believe that it will be calving very soon and I will have enough milk for consumption and for sale to earn an income. Also, I no longer depend on my children for everything since I still have the food that I bought using my transfer. This has at least made me self reliant."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer. First, I have been able to acquire a piece of land. I am currently building a house there and I believe that I will be relocating soon since I currently live in a borrowed house. Also, the transfer enabled to to acquire a motorcycle that I currently operate. This has enabled to cater for my family needs on time unlike before."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have made a major step in life. First, I have been able to build a spacious house for my family that can accommodate us comfortably. Also, my family now feeds well unlike before. The transfer enabled me to do some timely cultivation and used hybrid seeds and this led to increased production that I am optimistic that it will last us till next harvesting season."

"My life is different that how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now live comfortably. Before, we were living in an old house that its roof was leaking during the rainy season. Due to this, it was always difficult for us to have a sound sleep during this season as it was always very cold. Also, my children have never been sent back home like they used to before hence they have been able to concentrate on their studies. This has been possible because I was able to use my transfer to clear paying their school fees."

"My life is different since I no longer do some casual work around the village. This is because I now use the income from the dairy farming to cater for our daily needs. Due to this, I now have enough time to spend with my family and do some farming. Due to this, I have been able to fully utilize my farm so that I can ensure a continuous supply of food to my family."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to expand my business. Due to this, my profits has increased and I can now cater for our daily needs with less struggle unlike before. Also, I have been able to build a spacious house for my family that can accommodate us comfortably. This would not have been possible had it not have been for GiveDirectly."
