"I have been saving for quite some time now and I am planning to now invest it by building rental houses. I am targeting students who are from a nearby technical college. Once the buildings are done I know I will have a stable and sustainable source of income. This will help me meet most of my goals. Even if I retire I will not have to get employed in order to survive."

"The biggest difference Give Directly brought to my life is by enabling me to buy the water tank. The time which I would have wasted travelling to the fetch water I would spend to do other meaningful tasks. I can now focus on doing several farm activities which would help me achieve my other goals."

"In the next six months, and as is the season in our region, I will have harvested the crops that are currently growing. Then I will prepare for the next planting season. My hope is to ensure that I have bought all the farming inputs and prepare the land early enough. I also expect to plant on time and have enough capital to maintain the crops till maturity where I will harvest in plenty. This will ensure that my family have enough and even have more for sale and earn us income."

"I was previously living in a small grass thatched house. I had no hopes of improving this kind of life were it not for GiveDirectly coming to our village and giving us the transfer. I am now happy that very soon I will be moving into my newly Iron-roofed house and spacious enough unlike the one I live in."

"My life has changed because I'm now sleeping well on better bedding given the cold weather. Before the transfer, I used light and worn out bedding and. Secondly, I can afford to have enough food in my house. In the past, my family and I could not enough food because I could only afford small quantities."

"In six months time, my only hope of living in a big good house will have come to reality. I am currently finalizing on some parts. Had it not been for GiveDirectly I am sure I would be still living in my old house. The old house exposed my children to the risk of diseases since it would rain on us. It also posed us to security threats since it was at the verge of collapsing. Very soon I will be a happier mother living in a good sheltered house."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have started the poultry keeping project and I will be saving the return from the sales of eggs to meet other additional household needs."

"Once I am done with the construction of the house, I will embark on the project of buying a cow which will act as a significant mark that GD left in my family. I know that the cow will definitely give birth in the future and out of that, I will be able to get more cash when I sell them out to prospective buyers."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have managed to plough and plant my crops in time using this cash. I am expecting good harvest this time round because the planting was done early. In addition, I intend to purchase bricks for constructing an iron roofed house. Previously, I could get poor yields because of delayed planting and I had financial challenge when it came to hiring oxen. I wouldn't have constructed an iron roofed house had I not received this transfer."

"I am planning to boost my business by saving transfers and buying more stock. I am still planning to save and buy livestock for rearing to milk and the financial security of the family."
