"My life will change in the next six months because I will have bought building materials and built a house for my family. It is costly to pay rent on a monthly basis yet I do not have a stable source of income. I know before the transfers come to an end, I will have built a house for my family and take away the shame I have gone through."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be having livestock in my compound. I have always dreamt of owning a livestock but I was not able to due to my low income. As soon as am done clearing the balances I have in school for my children, I want to buy a cow so that I can be on the same level as my neighbours."

"In the next six months to have saved enough money and bought cement and sand that shall facilitate the plastering process of my house. Having a semi-permanent house is always pride in my village and I would want to put my focus on it to fit in as well."

"My expectation in the near future is to start and have a successful salon and beauty business. This will ensure that I make enough money to meet my children basic needs such as school fees payment as they are almost starting school. I also want to grow financially by venturing into dairy farming. I want to diversify into different fields. All these are directed at being financially stable."

"In the next six months, I expect to see my son who is currently in his final year in University to ave completed his studies. This will be a great relief since I will now be concentrating on the remaining two who are still in University. So far I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the great help they have been giving us over time."

"In the next six months, I would have completed my fourth form and will be waiting for my final results. During this time I would start purchasing the building materials to build my own house. Receiving this transfer would empower me to start living a better life which I wouldn't imagine I could afford in that my parent has been struggling to raise us."

"In the next few months, we will buy a water tank with the savings we have accumulated in our merry-go-round. This will help us save on time and reduce the tedious act of fetching water from a river which is several kilometres from our homestead. I hope having a tank will enable us to store enough water which will sustain us up to the next rainy season."

"The biggest difference is owning a dairy heifer. It is going to benefit me for a long time. At least I will now take a break from doing the hectic casual jobs. Apart from that, I am also glad that I have painted my house in the best colors that I have always wanted. I am planning to live in this home even in my old age and that is why it is important that I did the finishing and improvements. This will make it be presentable and last longer"

"I was so happy when the money was sent in the morning. It caught me by surprise because we were never told the dates that it would be sent. I remember telling my wife about the good news that I had received and she was so excited. We could not stop going over the plan of how best we should spend the money again and again. We went to bed later after about an hour of planning and replanning. We were so happy."

"In the six months, I expect to have completed my house. I will have also bought a cow. With these two achievements, I will be able to face life even after Give Directly have stopped sending us the transfers. I thank them very much and I always pray for them. Indeed there is no such an organization like Give Directly, no one would have helped me that much, not even my relatives could have thought of assisting me."
