"The big difference in my life is that I have acquired construction materials which I will use for completing my house. I intend to rent it out and spend the money I get on payment of my children's school fees."

"The moment I received the message, we became so happy and I huged my wife."

"Having purchased the construction materials, I am happy and optimistic of building an iron roofed house. This will relieve me from the burden of renovating my hut yearly."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt so happy. It was 2:00 am, we got up and started planning for our money."

"The moment I received the mobile money message, I felt happy and I thanked God for using GiveDirectly to relieve us from poverty. In celebration, I bought meat, rice and cooked as if it was christmass."

"Since we started receiving the transfers, Our lives with the other members of the family have been changing to the better. We have made a lot of steps and differences are well depicted. At the moment we have future plans which we wish to implement and it will only be possible as far as we are still receiving money from GiveDirectly. Among the changes which we would wish to realize in the next few months is the improvement of our farming operations. We have a plan to plant vegetables so that we may carp the expenses we have been putting on the shopping for the same. Not only would they be meant for consumption but also we would be selling them to the local markets. Another great plan that we have is to renew our old kitchen. We would wish to see a descend kitchen comes December made of wooden walls and a metallic roof. We are sure to accomplish all these because we are still members of the merry-go-round group which we started and soon our turn will be coming."

"I expect in the next six months that I shall have invested in farming with the transfer. Due to this, I will have a lot of yields that we will eat as a family and sell some in order to meet the essential household needs."

"In six months time, I will be having my cow in my compound. My firstborn child will have completed her secondary education and my concentration will be more to the young ones. This will have really eased my work to even be providing for my children better."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have started the poultry keeping project and horticulture farming activities. Although it will not have picked I believe it will generate income that will enable me to provide most of the basic needs for my family on time."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months because I will have fulfilled most of my goals. My business will have also expanded and I will no longer depend entirely on the GD transfers"
