"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a proud owner of a highly productive dairy cow. I have been milking cows but the most unfortunate thing is that the cows that I have all along been milking are not mine. They belong to my parents and we could only get milk for household consumption from them. With the dairy cow that we have bought, we are looking forward to having more milk that can sustain us as a family and even get surplus for sale. This will definitely change our lives as a family. I have also improved my poultry keeping business and I am looking forward to having a successful poultry unit. Right now the chicken have not started laying eggs but I am optimistic that they will be laying soon."

"The big difference in my life is that I have acquired a cow of my own for milk. Having purchased a new mattress, blankets and bed sheets, I now sleep comfortably and I am happy. Before I got the money I slept on a very old mattress."

"I noticed that I had received the money at around 6:00 AM when I was planning to make a phone call, I became very happy because I had got the money for addressing my family needs."

"My life is changing in that, I'm soon commencing with the construction of my permanent house. In the past, I found it burdensome and costly to renovate the thatched house I live in bi-annually. This is because, the thatch material was rare and expensive."

"I have this great idea of uplifting my business by constructing a new business premise where I will be operating from, so that means I will no longer be renting a place and paying monthly rental charges like I have been doing in the past. I think that my profits will increase significantly because the money that I would have used to pay rent will help in taking care of other needs."

"My life has tremendously improved in that, I paid my grandchild's tuition and bought a cow. Previously, I used to sell food in order to raise money for school fees of which food was also in scarcity. But with the cow I bought, I'm confident that I can sell it's products and or even the offspring to raise the money I need."

"My life has changed because I am currently constructing an iron roofed house which is at ring beam level. Once it is complete, I shall rest from the struggle of looking for thatch, the new house will be safe and spacious enough to accommodate us and the harvest."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have additional assets of my own. This is after I was able to buy a dairy cow that am sure will assist us now and in the future in meeting the basic household needs of my family. I have also been able to improve my egg selling business which is helping us meet most of our family's basic needs much more easier than we found before we received the money from GiveDirectly. I am looking forward to exciting days ahead."

"My expectations for the next six months is to finish paying for my mechanic course to be able to earn some income to change my family's lifestyle. Once I have saved enough from being employed, I plan to start up my own business which will help in the generation of daily income for my family."

"This money has enabled me buy requirements with ease for my daughter that has joined a nursing school and to settle annual school requirement for the 7 orphans that I am taking care off. In addition, I have been in position to plant trees that I believe will help me financially at my old age. Before receiving this transfer, I didn't have enough money to implement my plan of planting trees."
