"I spent part of my transfer to purchase a television set. I have kids who love watching television. We had one but got broken. I am glad that they can be able to watch their favorite programs after purchasing a new set. Besides buying a television, I also managed to offset a balance for my driving course so as to sit for the final exams next week. I also saved some and did shopping at my house. I finally decided to use the remaining amount to restock my business and repair a machine that got spoilt."

"Six months to come, I expect to be having my crops doing well. Now that I have the capacity to buy, and plant beans, this will be a great boost to the food supply in my family. This will eradicate food shortage and therefore is the joy that I really admire to have."

"Receiving this money will mean that I can build an iron roofed house. It has been very expensive for me renovating the thatched house I currently stay in."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is having inadequate income to meet my family needs. I take care of orphans whom I'm unable to meet all their needs. "

"My life is better because the GiveDirectly transfer has enabled me to construct an iron roofed house, buy a bed, a mattress, bed sheets, clothes and a cow, being an old man I feel safe now. Before I got money I worried a lot because my hut was leaking."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house because the one that I sleep in leeks. I will also buy a piece of land that I can cultivate in oder to get food to feed my family. This will improve my standard of living."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land that I can cultivate. The only piece that I have is not enough for my household. Some times I borrow some space from neighbours just to have something planted so as to feed the family. Buying land will save me from many hard situations that I am facing now."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy oxen that will support in cultivation. This will improve the standard of living in my home the fact that food production will increase since I will have the opportunity to plant at the right time. This will enable me to take care of the education needs of my children because part of the harvest can be sold to raise money. With this, my children can get a better future especially when they get employed."

"Currently, I don't expect any change in the next six months because I want to concentrate on sheep raring. Since this was my initial goal and I haven't achieved it, I plan to continue saving to ensure my sheep raring project is fully established. I believe it will help me to be financially stable in the near future."

"My expectation in the near future is to be living on my own piece of land. I am currently living in a small section that was given to me by my parents after we separated with my spouse a few years ago. Living here comes with its own share of challenges such as conflicts between relatives and such. Having my own piece will reduce such cases and also accord me the freedom to farm and do other activities. There is also the joy that comes with living in my own land as it is evidence of the hard work you put in. I want to improve my lifestyle and ensure my children are well taken care of by meeting all their needs and ensuring that they are happy."
