"The cash transfers enabled the construction of a permanent house. This is a dream come true for the family. Further more, we purchased a motorcycle for a bodaboda business that earns the household daily income. In the past, we had no income generating activity. I am very grateful to GiveDirectly for helping the needy."

"I expect to have expanded my farming by leasing bigger farms, hiring casual workers to work in my farm, buying hybrid maize seeds to plant and boost my products and also buy fertilizer to help improve the growth of my farm produce."

"My life is currently different in that, I have built a iron roofed house which I did not have any hope of building. Prior to receiving these cash, I used to share the same house with my co wife which wasn't enough for both of us plus our husband. Secondly, I was able to buy some household items like beddings, clothes and utensils. In the past, I used to sleep on the a very old mattress laid on the floor but I thank GiveDirectly that I now sleep on a bed and a new mattress."

"My life is different because I managed to build a permanent house and moved out of my in-laws compound meaning that I and my spouse live independently. Secondly we did not have a enough land to cultivate previously but when GiveDirectly sent transfers we were able to purchase some land. Therefore I will be able to grow more crops and harvest enough food to sustain my household couresy of GiveDirectly's cash transfers."

"Currently, my life is different because these transfers will enable me complete the construction on my house. My house has been on a standstill for over a period of ten years because the little money I could get went straight to children's school fees. I want to thank GiveDirectly for the support rendered unto me because very soon my house will be complete. Lastly, my life is at peace because I'm no longer stressed like I used to on how I shall complete that project."

"My life is different in that I am happy to sleep under an iron sheet roofed house, and on top of that, I acquired household items and a cow. All this were not possible without GiveDirectly since nobody can give such an amount of money to a village person like me."

"My life is different in that I am happy this money helped me get household items like clothes, and I will be renovating my house. In addition, my health is better. Before, my health was not well compared to now."

"My life is different than it would have been because I am pleased to have an iron sheet roofed house. Before, I used to sleep under a leaky grass thatched house which was an inconvenience during a rainy season."

"Currently my life is different because I am a happy person. This is because my iron roofed house is getting complete and soon I will enter relieving me from the small congested leaking grass thatched house."

"Although I am still staying in my grass thatched house, my life is different in that I am now happy seeing that I will be completing my iron roofed house. At this age of mine, it will relieve me from the issue of renovating the grass thatched house that leaks and infested with with rodents. "
