"My life will have changed in the next six months in that my family will be feeding well. This will be a result of enough supply of food hance they will always enjoy three meals a day. Also, I will have cleared paying school fees for my children using my transfers and the income that I now get from milk sales. This will enable me to start investing in other income-generating activities."

"In the next six months, my life will be different from how it is currently in that I will be a proud owner of a dairy cow. This will be an added asset and I believe that it will calf soon thus giving us milk for both household consumption and sales. Also, I will not be buying maize flour anymore since I will have harvested my maize. Having achieved all this will enable me to reduce my daily expenditure and save some money that I can use in case of a financial crisis."

"I got a mobile money message at around 6:00 am when I cross checked, it was from GiveDirectly notifying me that I had received my money. At that moment, I was overwhelmed by joy because my plan to start up a shop of produce was going to be attained."

"I felt very excited to get money which was going to enable me build a permanent house and buying a bicycle for collecting water from the borehole."

"I felt so happy the moment I received money from GiveDirectly. We had been expecting the money early that month but days had passed without us receiving the money. We were at the verge of giving up but our hopes were rekindled when we received a message from GiveDirectly that the money was going to delay that month but assuring us that we were going to receive them anyway. It was very early in the morning when I heard my phone ring and on confirming that I had indeed received the money, I shared the information with my wife and children who equally rejoiced upon receiving the information.We already had plans on how we were going to spend the money and we got down to implementing our plans as a family."

"The moment I receive my money, I felt so happy that I would now use this money to improve my family well being."

"I am currently sleeping in grass thatched hut that leaks whenever it rains. Given the scarcity of grass in our community, its now a great challenge to maintain a hut. Having received my money, I was in position to acquire most of the required materials for constructing an iron roofed house which will relief me from the leaking hut. I am intending to start and complete the construction once I receive my second transfer."

"I recently joined a savings group where I can be able to save part of my transfers in order to achieve my future goals of buying a piece of land. I saved most of the money I recently received in the group, paid my monthly medical insurance contributions and spent the rest on foodstuff."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is having fully completed building, beautifying my house and now sleeping in it comfortably as compared to before when my house was just a shelter. It had no proper door, not plastered,cemented, and no out side shade. In addition to this, is the improved standard of living in my house given the items (mattress, a TV set, a solar system, a zuku TV decoder) I have bought. Prior to receiving this money, I used to admire people who had such items and felt bad when my children ans I at times would go to their homes to watch TV."

"The moment I received, I felt very happy because I never thought of build a permanent house in my life."
