"The biggest difference in my life is the fact that I now have a dairy cow. I had initially built a zero-grazing unit in preparation to buy a better hybrid cow. My hope is to improve the proceeds from livestock farming from the sale of milk. I am also happy that I will be living in a clean and decent house. I feel that our lifestyle as a family has improved, thanks to Give Directly."

"My life changed because today I have this beautiful house where I live in comfortably with my children. The past years have been sp terrible because we used to be rained on every time it rained due to the leaking roof over our heads. I also have the two oxen I recently purchased and from now on, I will be using them to cultivate my farm in preparation for the planting season."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months in that I will have planted the tea cuttings in my nursey. I will just be waiting for six months to elapse so that I can transplant them in the field. Having my tea plantation is a long-lasting investment which will help me cater to my family needs on time. In addition to this, I will have started poultry keeping project. Hopefully, I will have finished building a chicken coop."

"In the next six months, I expect to have built a kitchen. I will no longer have worries on where to cook for my family."

"I expect to have started a nursing course at a local college here. I will be using the mine to meet my education costs and to cater for myself in case I will need to be buying food. I will be doing so well at that time."

"I expect to have plenty of food in my store in the next six months.This will allow me to live well as i wont be bothering my children to provide food for me."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months since I will be a better farmer. I expect to hav put more land under potatoes and beans to earn more income from it. I am grateful to GiveDirectly."

"My expectation is for my life to get better. I will be saving some money from the milk that I sell so that I can build a better house. I hope to hav improved my home in the next six months."

"I expect to have fully recovered and will be using the money to make investments in farming. I will be using the money to hire labor for my farm and grow short-season crops such as cabbages. This will be a good source of income."

"Having no decent house can be so frustrating to any family. In our case, for instance, we haven't been able to construct a decent house due to financial constraints. At the moment, we live in an old, tiny and often congested house and given that we are a family of eleven, space herein cannot accommodate all of us forcing some of our children to seek alternative sleeping spaces from relatives' houses. This has been very devastating to them. Therefore receiving this money means I will finally be in a position to build a good house, something that I have yearned for many years. Enduring cold and sleepless nights will be something of the past. "
