"I expect to have started my second hand clothe business in the next four months. I am tired of depending on casual jobs. I believe the business will do well in this region hence I will have a daily source of capital."

"My life is better because through this cash transfer, I acquired a bed and a mattress which makes me sleep comfortably. In addition, soon I will be sleeping in permanent house. Before, I slept on 4 inch mattress and I'm still sleeping in leaking thatched house."

"My new goal is to start a business. I want to start selling clothes and shoes because the business is lucrative in this region and from my own research, I feel that this is what I can do best and be successful in it. Currently, I am running a motorcycle business which is doing well. The problem is that I have to hire someone's motorcycle, therefore, the profit is not that much since the owner of the motorcycle takes the biggest share at the end of the day. At times I go without getting money when the motorcycles are engaged. I, therefore, feel that selling second-hand clothes and shoes will boost my income."

"The moment I received money, I felt happy because I got money for buying cows and household goods like a mattress which I never had."

"I don't have a new goal at the moment. I want to continue saving. I want to buy a motorcycle or land where I can build rental houses. I am still doing research for what will work best among the two and what will be required of me to ensure that whatever I settle on becomes successful."

"That moment I received money, I read the message, ignored it at first as any other. But it was in the morning that it dawned on me that it was GiveDirectly money after seeing my neighbourhood joyous. "

"That moment I received the money, I felt so happy to be receiving such an amount of money in my life, and there was joy in the neighbourhood as well."

"Having goats is the biggest achievement that I can proudly talk of ever since Give Directly came into my life. I decided to rear goats because they reproduce twice a year and require minimal supervision compared to other domestic animals. Furthermore, their food is also easily available since they can live in any type of climate. I am hopeful that they will multiply and increase in number very soon. I am planning to sell some in our local markets and buy a dairy cow. I will get milk and sell so that I can generate my daily income. And according to me, these are the well-thoughtful assets that will help me in the near future. Thank you GiveDirectly for making a positive impact in my life."

"My daily life has changed in that, I live a much happier life than I used to. This is because, I met the basic needs that I couldn't before due to lack of money."

"My life has changed because through this transfer, I was able to pay school fees for my 6 children on time. I'm sure this term my children will get their reports. Secondly, I'm also completing to build my permanent house which has been at ring beam level for over five years. Previously, my children never brought reports home on time and I could not complete to build my house because I never had money."
