"My life has changed in that, I have owned 3 cows which will help me in future and some will be paid as dowary for my son's wife to be. Secondly, I have started up a retail shop in my home that generates money for my family's daily needs. Before receiving these transfers, I didn't have enough money to buy cows and start up a shop."

"My life is different in that, I have got 2 pieces of land that I intend to plant crops to sell for my children's education. Furthermore, I was able to pay my children's school fees in time which has given my a piece of mind. Prior to receiving this cash, I didn't have hope of getting money to pay off the debt and get an additional piece of land."

"I have constructed an iron roofed house that is left with fitting doors and windows. Once my house is complete, I will be relieved from the burden of looking for grass for renovating my current hut."

"My life is different in that, I have been in position to plaster, fit metalic doors and windows in my house that has made me very happy. Secondly, I now have an ox that will help me plough my farm land in time. Previously, I used hand tools that made me plant crops on a small portion of land and I didn't have enough money to buy construction materials for plastering, fitting better doors and windows in my house."

"Before receiving these transfers, I had only one mattress that we shared with our chidren and I never had cow of my own. Having recieved these unconditional cash transfers, I bought a seperate mattress for me and my spouse that has given us comfortable night sleep. In addition, I acquired a cow that is going to help me with my children's future education."

"My expectation in the next six months is to cement my kitchen. I am tired of repairing it every now and then. I also fear that if I continue exposing my self to the dust from the mud-walled house, we could get sick. Cemented houses are also easy to clean and maintain compared to the mud-walled houses."

"My expectation in the next six months is to have a cosmetic shop. I am planning to save more so that I can be able to start this business. If all goes well, I will expand it and include other items such as shoes and clothes so as to attract more customers. This will ensure that I get more profits which will guarantee me a steady life."

"There are changes that I have achieved after getting the transfers. One is being able to construct an iron roofed house, the other is that I have acquired household items that were not in place before for example a solar, a better mattress, chairs, good utensils. Before, We were sleeping in a grass thatched house with a roof that leaked on rainy days. I did not have good household items ."

"My life is better now because I managed to pay school fees for my self to persue a course in automotive mechanics. I dropped out of school and If it wasn't for this transfer, I would have not gone back to school. I am happy, It is my prayer that GiveDirectly extends the support to other people."

"My life has improved now, I bought a motor bike which does boda boda business. This bike brings in income for meeting the family need for example food, soap. In addition to this I hired farm land for a period of two years and cultivated some crops. Prior to receiving the transfer I rod people's bikes and at the end of the day money would be divided with the ower of the bike. On the other hand, I did not have enough farm land."
