"My life has changed because I'm happy that my son who is in senior six level was able to report to school for third term on time and he is doing his final examinations. Secondly, paid off the debt which was burdening me. Before, these cash transfers, my son could stay home for two to three weeks after the reporting date because he waited for me to sell something like produce or livestock to get his fees and could not off set the debt because I had no money."

"My life is different in that, I was able to plaster and cement my permanent house which had taken me ten years to complete. Previously, I suffered with alot of dust since I built it using mud. In addition, I have also acquired another calf on top of the two cows I had."

"Receiving this money means I will purchase a cow which will culve and in the process, I will be able to drink milk and the offsprings can be sold in future in order to solve other family problems like educating children and meeting medical bills. This is an opportunity for me to start up an income generating activity like a small business which will be generating daily income that supports the household hence sustainability. "

"The biggest hardship that I face is that, I do not own oxen. That limits my ability in getting involved in farming. I delay to plant and hence leading to poor low yields and income at household level."

"The biggest challenge I face is inadequate money to sustain different needs in my household. This is because I lack oxen to enhence easy and ealier ploughing of land for crop planting. I there get little crop produce and unable to sell some for money."

"The biggest hardship I face is hunger. I donot have oxen and enough land for cultivation hence my household realises very little produce each year. This does not support our needs since there is food shortage. My family members are becoming malnutritious."

"Receiving this means I will invest in to Educating my children. Iam mainly depending on cultivation, as results this is so much seasonal and I realise little produce to sustain paying fees. My children are performing poorly since they are always sent home frequently because of school fees. I will be able to pay thier fees in time with Givedirectly money hence a voiding the stress of them being sent home. These will make them study well hence getting brighter futures."

"In six months' time, I will have bought an extra cow making the number to two. This is a long-time investment that will play an important role in providing milk for the family. I am sure that milk will also be sold so that we can raise some money for family use. Again, milk is good for health especially for my kids. Selling milk will also mean that I have added more income to m family and therefore I will not be faced with the financial crisis."

"My skin now looks good having having bought some smearing oil that I am using. My dressing has completely changed, when I put on my new clothes people struggle to recognise me because I look different. My family members now sleep well in an iron roofed house, on a bed and mattress. Previously, my life was miserable because I could not afford many things that I desired like clothes, food, school uniforms and fees."

"My life has changed, GiveDirectly transfers have enabled me construct a spacious iron roofed house that I would have not managed to do on my own. I had brewed beer for years in order to raise money for constructing the house but all was in vain. Thank you to Give Directly."
