"In the next six months, I plan to spend on my transfer on buying building materials such as iron sheets, nails and timber which I will use to expand my house. The one I have is not big enough to accommodate us all. My children have had to go to my neighbour's house to find a sleeping space. I would not want to continue with the same shame but expand my house to accommodate my family. I would not want to risk their lives anymore."

"My life will be different in the next six months in that I will be having my own house. I have struggled enough to find a where to sleep for two years now and now that God has remembered me through GD, I would not like this opportunity pass me by. I have started buying building materials and before the next six months, I know I will have the necessary materials for putting up my own house. I will never be ashamed and struggle for a place to sleep."

"In the next six months, I plan to buy building materials such as iron sheets, timber and nails which I plan to use in building a shed for my goats. Currently, they share the same kitchen where my children are sleeping and I do not feel its comfortable for my children. I would want to give them the best and make them feel at home. They have always understood why it happened but I would not want to have lots of excuses on the same."

"In the next six months, I know my life will be different because I will have started aa business with part of my transfers. I have been struggling financially because I did not have any source of income. Now that I have managed to solve most of my needs with part of these transfers, I want to spare some so that I can get a business to earn me an income from the profits."

"My life is currently different in that I have been able to pay school fees for my three children who were in various schools. One of them has already completed her education and I am optimistic that she will be employed and come back to help the family. I am also looking forward to taking my other two children to their tertiary education."

"My life is currently different in that I now feed my family so comfortably. The savings that I made with the transfer has enabled me to provide for my family even when I have had a bad day. This has changed my life a lot and I am looking forward to even more changes. I am so happy about my life and that of my family."

"My life is currently different in that I no longer depend on casual labour entirely to earn a living for my family. Having bought two dairy cows that were already producing milk has greatly reduced the cost of keeping my family. I now lead a happier family courtesy of GiveDirectly's transfers. I no longer look down upon my family and myself like I used to do before since GiveDirectly has elevated our living standards to the same levels as to those that we thought were living a happier better living standard."

"My life is currently different in that I now have a cow of my own. Buying milk to feed my family is now a thing of the past and this is going to allow me save up enough money that would enable me make other family investments that will change my living standards and that of my entire family. I never thought I would have one of my own cows anytime soon since the little income that I received from my casual jobs could not allow me to save and buy one. My children have also been eating well lately and we had the best christmas celebration recently. All these were made possible courtesy of GiveDirectly transfers. Moreover, I have been able to build a brand new house that has increased the comfort of staying in our home and I feel these are things I would not have done had I not received GiveDirectly transfers."

"Being a teacher who has not been employed yet by the government is always a set back since it is hard to get a job in a well-paying institution. For this reason, I decided to expand my herd so as to get an extra income. I do get milk that I take to school and offset school fees arrears for my child who is in an academy. This is so far the biggest difference in my life at the moment. The money that I would have used to pay school fees goes towards cultivating nappier grass which in turn will serve as the livestock feeds."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the newly built house that I have managed to put up after receiving this transfer. I never thought that I would be able to actualize this plan and when I received the transfer, I purposed to make it happen. I am so proud that I have been able to build a new house and I am looking forward to completing it once I receive my next transfer.I was living in a very small grass thatched house that made my family so uncomfortable but due to financial difficulties, I was not able to build it over all that time. I feel so proud of this achievement and I am looking forward to actualizing my dream of even furnishing the new house."
