"Receiving the money means I will be able to complete the construction work in my house. That will improve on our living conditions because. Currently, the house we live in is infested with termites that mould clay. Every morning when I wake up, I have to clear the clay because it is not floored."

"In the next six months, I will have harvested my vegetables since these are short period crops. Harvesting will also mean that I will pump some to the business which is currently doing good. In six months time, I will have also planted some other vegetables and this will be a continuous process that will support me and my family even when the transfes have come to an end. All these translate to a good life and an easy settlement of bills."

"Currently, I'm investing in farming groundnuts. In six months time, they will be ready for harvesting. Since I do not have a reliable source of income I'm planning to sell them after harvest so that I can raise capital for starting a business. With the business, I'll have an additional income thus my living standards will improve."

"Receiving this money means I will restock my business to make it attractive to the customers. That will improve on my daily income hence its ability to sustain my household. Currently, I lack some machines that would help boost my business because I am a saloonist. I will also have timely payment of school fees for my child in order for him to attain better grades due to fill attendance. "

"The current house I have is old. The better part of the roof is infested by termites and I'm afraid it might fall on us at any time. I have the plans of saving some of the coming transfers so that I can use them to purchase the building materials which I'll require while constructing a new house. I'm hopeful that in the next six months I'll have raised a good sum of money for purchasing the building materials."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have bought a dairy cow. I do casual jobs in the village and the amount of money I get was only enough for the basic needs. I could not save any amount to buy a dairy cow. I used to buy milk from my neighbors and it was so costly for me. Sometimes there were no casual jobs and those days my children could go without breakfast in the morning and this was so demoralizing. Currently, I have enough milk that I get from my dairy cow and I sell the surplus to meet other additional needs for my family and even pay part of the school fees for my children. We are so much grateful because GiveDirectl has changed our living standards by a great extent."

"The biggest in my daily life is that I have built a better and spacious house for my family. I lived in a small grass-thatched house with my family. The house could not host all my family members comfortably. Its a taboo to sleep under the same roof with grown-up children and this means my children had to look for a place to sleep. I do depend on the casual jobs in the village and the amount of money that I get through this was only enough for the basic needs for the family I had no extra money that could allow me to build a house for my children. They used to sleep at their grandmother's house and it was so risky for them because of the movements during the nights. Currently, they have a good house to sleep and no more movement at night. I'm so happy for the support because it has enabled us to have a good shelter over our heads thanks to GiveDirectly."

"With the help of these transfers, I have managed to do a lot of things but most importantly, I have cleared the payments on the tailoring course that I am currently taking. This gives me hope of completing the course which was previously an uncertainty because my parents were struggling to raise the money. With this training, I hope to start a tailoring shop as soon as I am done with the course so that I can have a stable source of income and support my family."

"I expect my life to change in the six months in that I will have managed to make a step towards building some rental houses in my compound. I am determined to save the money so that I can achieve the goal and boost my financial life."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have managed to buy a cow. I plan to save my monthly transfers to buy a cow as investment for my family."
