"My life life is now great because I have acquired livestock for paying bride price and regained possession of my land. In the past, I wasn't able to afford livestock since I had no source of income. In addition, I cultivated on only two acres of land since creditors had taken most of the land as collateral for the loans I and siblings collected. This in turn led to food shortage since the yields were low."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have started a saloon business and I will be in a position to earn an income to pay school fees for my children and also buy food for the family."

"My life is better in that, I'm living a very happy life because I bought an ox and construction materials for my permanent house. I used to plough my agricultural land almost out of season since I waited for the owners of the oxen to finish theirs. In addition, the house I currently sleep in has been destroyed by rats from the roof unto the floor."

"In the next six months, I am going hopefully that I shall have to save enough money in the merry go round where we are 10 members amongst those who are getting GiveDirectly's transfers and buy a cow. I believe having this cow in the unforeseen future it will reproduce and I will be able to get milk which I will sell the surplus to make an extra income.My family will also have an opportunity to enjoy the nutritive value of taking milk on a daily basis."

"My life has totally changed in that, I own oxen and own more land for agriculture. Before my late husband passed on, he had given part of my agricultural land as collateral for the loan he collected. I have been cultivating with my four children on only three acres of land and had to hire oxen to plough them."

"The moment I got money from GiveDirectly, I felt very happy because I had never held such an a mount of money in my life."

"My life is now different because I sleep, eat and dress well. Before, I couldn't afford good beddings, a balance diet and new clothes for my family. In addition, the ox I bought has simplified my cultivation as opposed to the past when I had to hire oxen to plough my farm land."

"My life will be happier than now in the next six months since I expect my to have bought sheep hence will have an asset to take pride in. I also expect to improve my mud flour of the house by cementing it hence would be inhaling a lot of dust or spent most of my time repairing like today."

"My life has greatly improved in that, I no longer do heavy casual jobs for income. When I did these jobs, I usually got exploited and and sickly due to the heavy tasks I used to perform. In addition, I'm saving part of the profits realized in my business and I'm able to meet my needs such as clothes and beddings among others. In the past, the little money I worked for majorly went for treatment."

"In the next six months, I will have started to plant tea. Tea plantation is a long time investment that is why I decided to do it. I managed to raise the money for buying and planting the seedlings from the monthly income I got from Give Directly. In a period of one year, I will start getting bonuses which will help me achieve bigger dreams."
