"My life is has changed because I have paid off the debt which was stressing me and I'm planning to start building my permanent house in December after I have secured money for labour. Before these cash transfers, I could not pay off the debt and I'm still sleeping in grass thatched house."

"My life is different because I have bought a permanet asset(farm land) that will benefit not just me but even my great grand children. I am in the process of constructing a pit latrine that will improve my sanitation. Before I got this money, I had a small piece of land to farm."

"My life has improved now because I got back my farm land after paying a debt. I have cultivated on it a variety of crops and I expect a good harvest. We purchased a motorbike that has eased transportation for family members. It also does boda boda business hence generating income to the family for meeting the basic needs like food and medical expenses. Before, I completely had no land and depended on casual labour for the family's survival."

"I have acquired enough land with the cash transfers which is a big difference in my life. I plan to build rentals in part of it and cultivate in the remaining land. I wouldn't have got this achievement if it was not for these cash transfers."

"My live is better because the transfer has enabled me acquire land, a mattress, bed, bedsheets, clothes and a motorcycle. The motorcycle we bought generates income that we use for food buying livestock for us to rear. If I had not received this money, my life would have remained miserable."

"My life has improved in that, I have more land at my disposal to cultivate. Previously, I used to move long distance to cultivate one acre of land I owned. This led to low harvest which inturn brought about food shortage in my family."

"My life is very different in that, I plastered the walls and cemented the floor of my house. Previously, I lived in a dusty house and it wasn't pleasant because we often suffered from respiratory illnesses."

"My life has been transformed by the cash transfers. I am a peaceful woman because I can afford good food. In addition to this, I look forward to construct a permanent house with the second cash transfer."

"At my age, I can not do any manual labour. The cash transfers have brought so much joy and peace in my life. I am able to buy food and access medical services. I would have died of hunger had GiveDirectly not sent these cash transfers. I had no hope elsewhere."

"My life is much different in that I hired two pieces of farm land that have increased my food supply. I am very grateful that I also renovated the house to a more habitable condition. In the past, I was sleeping in a dark untidy house without windows."
