"I expect the money have established an orchard. This will be a huge source of income for me to meet my family needs. I will also be paying the school fees for the rest of the children in high at the moment using apart of the transfers."

"In the next six months, I expect to have bought a piece of land. I really wish and expect to have completed purchasing the land and will be relocating to live on it. I am hopeful because I have money in a merry go round group and also because my cash transfers from GiveDirectly are ongoing. My life will have greatly improved."

"In the next six months, I am I believe I will have moved a step ahead. I anticipate to have bought a few livestock for rearing and my modern farming will have kicked up."

"Life was very tough before I got enrolled into the program due to my lack of income that caused my family a lot of health problems that were brought about by a lack of sufficient food. I worked as a casual domestic worker or sometimes a construction worker which was not easy especially on an empty stomach. The jobs were also very irregular which made it impossible for me to make enough money for my family's needs, especially foodstuff, forcing us to go on an empty stomach most times that eventually caused my daughter and I stomach ulcers. There has been a lot of changes in my life since I received the transfers because I have managed to buy most household items I never had before and started a business that now earns me a decent and regular income that enables me to properly provide for my family. I have no stress and have realized that our health problems have also disappeared, thanks to the good regular meals that we can now afford."

"In the next six months, I know I will have managed to clear this year's fees arrears. I plan to save part of my transfers and use them to clear my fees arrears so that I may only be worried about my performance. I would want to have ample time in school so that I may pass well and get good recommendations. The recommendations will help me in getting a good job when I finally graduate. I can only get good recommendations when I perform well in my examinations hence I want to dedicate my time to study now that GD has come in very handy in paying my college fees."

"Having no source of income, receiving this money means I will be able to purchase food and other basic necessities worth 25,000 shillings. I will also buy oxen and an ox plough at a cost of 40,000 and 8,000 shillings respectively. The rest I will use to pay part of fees for my granddaughter joining college in May this year."

"Looking at my life now, a lot has improved, my health status improved after using the money I received in seeking medical attention. I also have a new house currently; well furnished and way too better compared to the initial one we had. The cow we also bought calved down some weeks ago and now we are no longer buying milk as we used to do but now among the sellers in the village. All these would not have happened if I had never received the transfer from GiveDirectly."

"My life is currently different in that I have a newly built house. On top of the newly built house, I also have two dairy cows that would help me meet any financial emergencies should they arise."

"my life is currently different in that I now have a cow and house that I have since built. All along I have had a desire to build a new house that would make my family happier but due to financial constraints, I have not been able to accomplish this. On receiving money from GiveDirectly, I was able to bring this long time dream to reality."

"Now I have two dairy cows and an ox that I now own has really transformed my life in a big way. I got some milk for sale which can enable me to cater to my daily expenditure, the remaining few litres are for my family's consumption, my children are now healthier than when I used to depend on casual jobs for a living. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly for coming into my village. Being among the beneficiaries makes all the difference."
