"In the next six months, I plan to buy new household items such as mattress for my children since the one they have is old and thin. They do not have good nights of sleep and I would want to give them the best as a parent."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have bought a second-hand motorcycle. I plan to save part of my monthly transfers for the remaining period so that I may be able to pay a deposit for the motorcycle. I know I will finish paying for it with time through the small income I get on a daily basis."

"I hope that I will have constructed the new kitchen that I have been planning to have for some time now. So far, I have managed to buy some of the required materials using part of the transfers I have been receiving and my prayer is that by the time this project ends, I will have the house. Having this kitchen will bring much difference in my life because I will no longer have to cook in my main house which is usually very uncomfortable especially when we have to use firewood that produces smoke which is not only harmful to our healths but also damaging to the roof of my house."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of money. My children have guts for education but I can not afford hence most of them stay at home hopless."

"In the next six months, I expect to have completed the construction of my new house. Our current status of the material collection is at its final stages and soon we'll start the construction process. We are really grateful to GiveDIrectly for the great support they have accorded us to a point whereby we can plan and deliver on any project within our means."

"I have plans of moving into my compound as I have now become of age. I have been buying some of the materials to construct a new house once I move out, but I do not have enough yet. I have made plans of how to acquire the rest of the materials which includes my savings from these transfers and other avenues that I been saving in such as table banking groups. In the next six months, I hope that I will have closed this stressful chapter and will be in my own compound."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I am now a happy parent. This is because I now believe that my children's security is now assured. Apart from my children having a place to sleep comfortably, I also have a place to store my farm produce."

"In the next six months, my life will have changed in that I will have finished paying for my heifer. In addition to this, I will have started building a house for my family. Though I will have stopped receiving financial support from GiveDirectly, I will be doing some casual work to complete this work."

"My expectation in the next few months is to have opened and had a running retail business. This will be a source of income to my family and also serve the people around as the nearest shopping center is quite a distance from the village. The income from this business will build me financially and put me in a position to better look after my family."

"Poor harvests due to unreliable rainfall patterns has been the greatest challenge we face in our family. Initially, farming was our main source of income since we used to sell most our produce unlike currently whereby we buy all the foodstuffs. My spouse who operates motorcycle taxi spends all his daily wages in buying food for the family as well as providing other basic needs hence we do not see ourselves engaging in other development plans in future.
