"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have expanded the number of acres for farming. I will be also in a position to have all the farm inputs on my store to ease my work on the farm. This will make my work efficient and timely."

"Looking back to the past years when we had not received anything from GiveDirectly, life and everything in it was really hard. Working in the white settlers' farms was a routine which would always find us in their farms very early in the morning only to leave at the very late hours of the day. On receiving the transfers, a lot of transformation came in and currently we are working hard on our farms, producing our own foods and have also improved in other sectors like infrastructure and also school fees payment. Were it not for this transfers we would still be where we were. Thanks to GiveDirectly."

"My life has changed because, for one, I paid school, fees for my child for the whole year, which to me is such a big achievement because, for the next one year, I will not be paying any amount in the form of school fees for my child."

"Having lived as an internally displaced person, I knew the struggles that I had gone through including lack of food. The biggest difference in my daily life now is the fact that I have two cows and a dairy goat for rearing and the fact that I am able to provide the daily needs for my family.All I am doing now is to praise God for sending Give Directly to us and I bless them for the good deeds they are doing to us."

"I no longer have financial stress like I used to suffer in the past. The number of daily needs was overwhelming as compared to what I used to earn. I was so stressed because I really wanted to build a house for the family but I never had the means to do so due to lack of finances, but thanks to Give directly, all my desires were fulfilled at the least expected time."

"I have this small scale business which generates profits on a day to day basis, which keeps me going. At least I do not have to rely on other people for financial help because I now have my own source of income."

"In the next six months of my life, I hope I will have bought both oxen and cows for rearing. I'm hopeful with time I won't hire people to plough my farm because by then I'll be having oxen to plough my farm. This will save me the cost of hiring someone to plough the farm. In addition, I won't budget for milk anymore because after they will have given birth I'll have enough milk for the family."

"It had been hard for me to provide for my family on my own depending on farming and some casual jobs only. I am a single mother of four children in various schools thus meeting their needs is challenging with the scarce resources. I lived in a single grass-thatched house that has been uncomfortable for us to live in since with time it was becoming too small for my growing family and also couldn't give my children humble place to study in. The biggest difference in my daily life is the new house that I built using part of my first transfer. I am so happy that I also have a decent iron-roofed house like other people in my society that could not have happened soon if it was for GiveDirectly. I am happy that my children have a good place to study in and as a family has a good house that we can all be proud of."

"In the next six months hopefully, I will have managed to buy iron sheets to that the house roof is replaced and I am not being rained on anymore neither my property getting destroyed by the rainwater."

"My main goal at the moment is to start up a business in the next four months. Thereafter, I have the plans for using the coming transfers to boost the business. In the next six months, I expect that the business will be stable."
