"My life is different than how it would have been had I never received my transfers because I no longer buy milk. Due to this, I have been able to save the money I would otherwise use in buying milk. Also, I have been able to pay most school fees for my children without taking a loan or selling some of my assets. This has enabled me to have enough time to look for next terms school fees whole my children study without being interrupted by being sent back home."

"The money enabled me to continue building a house for my family. I had started the foundation when I received my first transfer and I had no hope of continuing building it before GiveDirectly came for enrolment. I am now glad since I am almost completing building it since the only part remaining is furnishing it. Had it not have been for the transfers, I would not have been able to continue building it."

"The transfers enables me to build a decent house for my family. Because of this, we now enjoy our privacy and my house is big enough and I can my neighbors children and come and sleep over at my house. Also it enabled me to do some farming on time and I am now hoping that I will have a good harvest that will last us till the next harvesting season."

"My life is currently different than how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I have been able to build a house for my children. Due to this, they now sleep comfortably without any disturbances like before when they used to be sleeping in the kitchen. I am also always proud to receive visitors any time since I know that there is a place where they will sleep at comfortably."

"I am now a different person from how I would have been had I never received my transfers. This is because I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow and my family has enough milk for consumption and for sale. I have been using this money to meet some of our basic needs on time without depending on my spouse."

"My life is currently different than how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I have been able to build a decent house for my children. Before, they were sleeping in an old dilapidated house with leaking roof and weak walls. I was always afraid that it would collapse any time and cause some injuries on my children. Building this house for them has minimized my worries especially during this rainy season because I know that my children are always safe."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I never received my transfers in that I have been able to increase the number of assets that I own. Due to this, I now have financial security for the future since I can easily sell some of my livestock. I have also been able to build a spacious house for my family that can accommodate us comfortably. As a result of this, we now have enough privacy as parents as we no longer sleep in the same room with our children."

"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfers because I have been able to start building a spacious and more permanent house for my family.I am hoping that I will be completing it soon and I will be able to host even visitors any time."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I not received the transfers because my first transfers enabled me to clear hospital bill for my spouse and do all the burial arrangements without selling the only piece of land that I had inherited from my parents since that was the only option that I had. Also, I was able to clear school fee arrears for my children without much difficulty thus enabling me to have enough time to look for next years school fees."

"The transfers from GiveDirectly gave me strength tho forge ahead in life. Because of the transfers, I now have the ability to meet most of our needs using the money I get through the sale of milk. Owning a dairy cow had always been my dream but I had not been able to achieve it due to lack of finances. "
