"Prior to getting this money, I used to sleep in a ramshackle house which leaked and destroyed my property and disorganised my sleep each time rain fell. Secondly, I used to sleep on a papyrus mat for a mattress that caused bedsores leading to sleepless nights. When I received this money, my life has tremendously changed in that I sleep in a Iron roofed house which doesn't leak and my property is safe from rain. Furthermore, I'm no longer bothered of bedsores since I sleep comfortably on a mattress which I bought using GiveDirectly's cash."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be having a new house which I have always wanted to have. This is because I will use my transfers to continue buying building materials such as nails and timber which I still do not have. This will help me in building a new, bigger and better iron-roofed."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have fenced my home. I want to use my transfers for savings so that I can buy materials which I will use in fencing my home such as barbed wired and poles."

"In the next six months, I plan to save my transfers so that I can start a business for my wife. I would want to have a stable source of income so that I can comfortably provide for my family well. I would not want to struggle as I have been struggling in the past before the transfers."

"I have this plan of transforming my house from a temporary structure to a semi-permanent structure. All I need to do is to buy building materials such as cement, timber, and sand which will aide in that process."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been in position to deposit money for the piece of land. In addition, I bought 13 pieces of iron sheet that are going be used for constructing an iron roofed house for me. Previously, I did n't have a plan to acquire a piece of land and to construct an iron roofed house because I couldn't afford."

"That moment I realised my had been, I felt so happy to extent of dancing around and I even delayed to go attend to my garden that morning. "

"The moment I received my money, I was so happy because it was something I have never experienced before, that's receiving such an amount of money. "
