"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have started a small business. I am planning to open a retail shop near home so that it would support me in paying my school fees and even for my siblings. I am glad that I will be able to assist my parents. There is also hope for me finishing school and becoming independent."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that through the transfer, I was able to acquire eight goats which to me are my assets. Owning them would have taken many years but GiveDirectly made it possible to me within days and I will always give thanks to GiveDirectly for the financial support. I am expecting them to reproduce and increase in number so that they can help me out in case of the financial crisis."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is owning the livestock that includes the pair of oxen and the goats. I previously had none and owning them one day was just a dream to me. I am thankful to GiveDirectly because purchasing the livestock has now been made possible through the financial support from them. Due to this, I will no longer be incurring hiring costs during the planting season. This will help me to save the money I would use in hiring the oxen and use it to meet other family needs like paying school fees for my children. The goats will also reproduce and increase in number and have many more which I will later sell them and use the money to buy a cow. Owning a cow will help me save the money I would otherwise use in buying milk."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I would have completed building the new house for visitors."

"I have a plan of buying a cow which I will then hire out to individuals who will help me plow my farm because at my age right now I can say that I am too old to do the farm work that is why I need to be helped. So that means that I will have to pay the young tucks who will be helping me in accomplishing such tasks."

"Given the fact that I had never held such an amount of money, I became to happy and anxious that my life is currently different because I was able get a big piece of farm land that I will fully cultivate on without interference until my money is given back. Before getting this transfer, I only had one piece of farm land that I used cultivate on and yet it would not fully sustain my family in the long run. It therefore necessitated me to do more extra work to raise money to sustain my family needs such as feeding. "

"Though I am still staying in my grass thatched house, my life is different now in that I feel so happy and stress free because I am building my permanent house. Before, a mere thought of renovating the grass thatched house would give me a lot of stress as getting grass was a night mare."

"My life will postively change when I complete building my permanent house. This is because I will be moving out of my former compound, leaving my cowife there and be able to make independent decissions in my new place. In addition to this, I will be relieved from the burden of renovating my grass thatched house as it is that grass is very scarce and expensive."

"My life currently seems to be flowing in an easy way in that I have the money that is enabling me to handle most of my financial issues such as feeding my family, giving my children proper treatment, Hiring farm lands, buying oxen and seeing to it that my children's fees is paid up on time. Before getting this transfer, all that I have acquired would be imposible since I used to go and farm in other people's gardens to raise money that could help to cater for my family needs. This money was never enough since my children really never got to stay at school. They were always sent back home due to lack of fees. When it came to treating my children, I had to take them to hospital leave them there and first come home to work for someone to raise the medical bills."

"Currently, I have twenty plastic chairs for hire and I'm happy I'm able to earn some money from them but I would wish to earn more from the business. So in the next six months, I expect to have purchased more chairs so that I'll be able to earn more. With the income from the business, I will be able to provide for my family because the business requires very little finances for maintenance. Most of the income form the business will be to cater for my family needs."
