"My life is good now, I am relaxed and I feel respected because my home is beautiful after I constructed an iron roofed house. Previously , I suffered because I had to look for grass which was scarse for my hut. I was sleeping together with my six children in a very small room."

"I feel better now, the money enabled me to get treatment which I could not afford before. I have bought a cow and there is hope of me completing the house construction. Before I got money, I was struggling with sickness and the construction was at stand still."

"My life has changed in that I was able to get a motorcycle that is supporting my family needs. Prior to getting this transfer as a young couple, we always struggled to make ends meet since we had to work in people's farms to raise money or in exchange for food."

"My life is different in that, I now have a three roomed permanent structure in my compound though I have not completely to build because the transfer was not enough but we hope to get a loan. Currently, I'm still sleeping in a leaking thatched house. Thanks to GiveDirectly because on my own I wouldn't have put up this structure."

"My life has changed because I have paid off the debt and repossessed my farm land which I will start to cultivate in the next season. I'm now sure of food security in my home compared to before when I suffered from food shortage because I rented out most of the farm land and cultivated late. In addition, I have got enough lighting in my house. Previously, I used a torch which was costly because I had to buy dry cells every week."

"My life is much better because through these cash transfers, I managed to acquire two bulls which will help me this coming season to cultivate on time and get good yields. In addition, I also bought a bicycle which has simplified my movements and work like collecting water and crops from the farm. Previously, I moved for long distances and hired other people's bulls."

"My life has taken different sharp ever since I got these transfers in that, I acquired a motorbike for transportation business which gives me at most a profit of twenty thousand shillings in a good day. I'm now able to meet the basic needs of my family like treatment as opposed to when I depended on casual labour which could not meet all the needs."

"My life has improved in that, I can listen to news and music during my leisure time because I acquired a radio. Now days I'm updated what is going on a round the world and my mind is occupied all the time as opposed to when I got second hand information. Secondly, I'm in the process of building permanent house. I'm left with buying bricks and still sleeping in thatched house."

"I have been hiring oxen to plough my farm land. However, when I got money from GiveDirectly, I was able to acquire an ox that will help me plough my land. Secondly, I have bought a mattresses and beddings for my children and visitors that has made me very happy, because previously I had no mattress for the vistors and whenever I recieved a vistor I made my children to sleep on a mat and the vistor takes up their mattress."

"Before getting these transfers, I had a challenge of movement, whenever my children fall sick we found it hard to take them to the hospital. However, this transfers enabled me to acquire a motorbike that has eased movement and it also generates income for the daily running of the family."
