"My life is different than it would have been because of the iron roofed house being constructed which gives me hope of resting from that leaking grass thatched house. Before, my house used to worry me alot because it leaks during rainy season and it's in a state of collapse if the rains intensify. "

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be having the cereals business which I have always desired to have. Now that I have fully paid back the loan, I want to focus my transfers on improving the business so as to improve my life from all these borrowings and beggings."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be having livestock in my life. In my area, when you do not have any livestock, you are considered very poor. This has been my condition but with the transfers, I want to see a change. The change will be evident in my life through the livestock which I want to buy through GD transfers."

"Since I managed to move out of my father's land we now have peace. We rarely have a family conflict like before. We used to quarrel almost on a daily basis with my in-laws over petty issues but all that stopped after we relocated to a different area. My husband and I are now happy and progressive. We recently bought some cows that have already started producing milk. I never had hopes that I would buy one soon. I really thank Give Directly for their support."

"My expectation in the next six months is to have bought enough materials to construct a room for visitors. This will save me the shame of taking my visitors to sleep in neighbors home at night."

"My life has changed to a great extent because I managed to build a brand new house where I now live together with my family quite comfortably. I also have a new motorbike which I use to ferry passengers at a small fee and thereby be able to generate some income on a daily basis."

"For the next six months, I have plans of organizing a memorial service for my late husband. My expectation is to have put all the resources that will be required on that day in place so that I won't borrow money from people for the occasion."

"I have the plans of saving some of the coming transfers to purchase goats for rearing. Therefore, for the next six months, I believe I'll have bought some goats. Since goats reproduce faster I'll be assured of more of them by the end of the year."

"I expect my life to change for better in the next six months because I will have finished building a spacious house for my family. Due to this, my wife will be taking less time cleaning it. In addition to this, I will not be living with the fear of my family contracting respiratory diseases due to inhaling too much dust."

"My life is better because through these cash transfers, I managed to attain a military course. I can now earn a living as well as provide basic needs like school fees and food for my family members through this job. Before, I could not pursue further studies."
