"Currently, my aim is to own livestock. I, therefore, have the plans to save the coming transfers so that I can buy a goat for rearing with the aim of selling the young ones in the future so that I can raise money to purchase a cow."

"I expect my life to change in the next six month in that I will have saved enough money from the sales of my farm produce and I will be in a good position to buy a dairy cow. This will cut the cost of buying milk."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been in position to settle all the debts that I had. Paying off these debts enabled me to get back my two pieces of land from money lenders which has given me a peace of mind. Secondly, I have started a saloon business that generates daily income for running my family. Before receiving this transfer, I had a plan to start up a saloon business but I didn't have enough money."

"The biggest difference is that I have been able to construct a two roomed permanent house. I am currently waiting to fix the doors and the interior finishing. Before receiving the cash transfers, I was living in a worrisome situation because ant hills had developed in my thatched house. At my advanced age, I had no hopes of ever constructing a nice house for myself. I appreciate GiveDirectly for this financial support."

"I expect my life to be different in the next six months is to buy a water tank. This is because during the dry seasons we struggle to get water and in most cases, we are forced to go for long distance to get water. I know when I buy the tank, I will never struggle again for water in the dry seasons."

"In the next six months, I want to continue saving. I would want to use my savings to buy building materials such as cement and sand to plaster the house. The condition of my house is not good because it was built in a hurry at my husband's burial. I would want to make it stable by plastering it. This is how I would wish to change my life in the next six months."

"The difference I have seen in my life is that the transfer has enabled me to renovate my house that was so dusty since it was not cemented. I am in the process of constructing a separate house for my children which will provide some privacy for me and my husband."

"Right now I have one female cow which was purchased for purposes of producing milk and two oxen which will be used to plow our farm during the cultivation season. Were it not for Give directly, I do not think I would have managed to buy all these because the little finances I have can never be enough to buy all these items."

"I praised and thanked God for bringing GD to my family and sending me unconditional cash. I was so amazed for this money for I never thought I would have a chance to hold this amounts of money in my life."

"This money has brought a wonderful change in my life, I have got back the farm land that was given out as security after repaying a debt. I now have two cows that I intend to use for paying dowry for my wife as it is a tradition in my community for a man to pay dowry for the wife. Before I got the cash transfer, people in my community underrated me in the way they talked that I can not manage to marry a wife and I could feel bad. I thank GiveDirectly for the transfer that has redeemed my self esteem."
