"My life is much different in that I purchased we purchased a motorcycle that is earning daily income. This income supports the family. In the past,it was difficult to support two families. However, I am delighted that the cash transfers empowered our households. We are happy and independent."

"The cash transfers empowered me financially to purchase household items such as mattress,bedsheets and curtains. My house is neat and comfortable. I also acquired an oxplough and oxen which made it easier for us to plough and till our farmlands at no cost.Prior to receiving the cash transfers, it was difficult to access oxen for ploughing. I had to labour on people's land so as to access an oxplough."

"Life is different than it would have been because I was able to receive proper medical attention from a hospital. If it wasn't for these transfers, I wouldn't be still alive. I am grateful to GiveDirectly. "

"Life is different than it would been because I sleep better on a mattress with bedsheets, unlike before where I used old beddings for sleeping. In addition, the taxi motorcycle bought earlier has eased movement to long distances, on top of being a source of money to meet daily expenses.This wasn't the there before."

"Currently, my life has greatly changed because I am able to earn a daily income and living through the motorcycle that I bought. Prior to getting this transfer, I had no proper way of suviving as it was very difficult to raise money to cater for my personal needs as I had to do casual labor."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have paid dowry for my wife. This has been my major source of worry in my life since I feel respect between will get out hand and before it does, I would like to pay the dowry."

"I expect my life to change in the next months in that I will save money to help my son raise enough money to buy building materials. I am worried about my son who has come of age and does not have a house because of his low income. I would want to help raise money to buy building materials for building a house for himself."

"I do not have an additional goal right now but my main focus is to make sure that I run and manage the business efficiently so that it can generate enough profits going into the future. I will then use the profit proceeds to take care of my bills which includes paying rent, buying food for the family and paying school fees for the kids."

"In the next six months, I want to buy a cow as an investment for my family. This will help me during emergency needs by selling the cow to raise money to handle my needs. When they reproduce, I will have the number increase which is a source of wealth for me. I know I will never go back to where I was before the transfers."

"My life will change in the next six months in that I will have money that I can use to handle my needs efficiently. I would not want to borrow and depend on others as I have always done in the past. I will use my transfer on savings so that if I have an emergency, I can solve it without many struggles and borrowing."
