"My life is different in that, I have built an iron roofed house which I am currently staying in. Prior to receiving this cash, I was sleeping in grass thatched hut that leaked whenever it rained."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that,I have been in position to construct an iron roofed house and soon I will be moving to a house with a cemented floor. I currently sleep in a dusty house."

"My life has changed for the better because I have built an iron roofed house. I also have motorbike that does transportation business which brings daily income for buying food and paying medical bills. Before, I did casual labour in people farms to provide food for my seven children."

"The biggest difference in my life is that, I have been in position to construct an iron roofed house. I am currently sleeping in a grass thatched hut that leaks whenever it rains because the grass is very scarce in our community."

"My life has changed for the better because I have constructed an iron roofed house for myself, that has relieved me from looking for grass. Previously, I had a burden of renovating my hut yearly given the grass scare in our community."

"I can hardly harvest half a bag of maize from my field each season which is barely enough to feed my 8 children. Receiving this money means a great deal to my family. Therefore, I will use part of my transfer to purchase oxen and an ox plow, something that will enable me to till my land efficiently and in good time. In the coming seasons, I expect to harvest 5 to 7 bags of maize from the exact size of land. Secondly, I would wish my children could sleep in a more comfortable place. Currently, they all sleep in one corner of the house, the 8 of them. It is congested and sometimes can suffocate at night. As such, I will expand my house so that it can accommodate all of us."

"My health is good now because I got better treatment and I am able to feed well, twice or thrice a day. The welding machine now generates income to the family. I sleep in an iron roofed house and I own land. Before, I had a meal in a day. I did not have land and there was no source of income."

"My life is different now because am looking healthy, I am able to feed well and I sleep on good bedding. I have also paid my grand children school fees and I have hope that they will help me in future. I used to depend on loans from saving groups but they charged high interest rates which was not easy to pay."

"My life is different now because am stress free having taken all my children to school in time. The generator we bought is doing grate work in irrigating our crops. Even in this dry season we were able to harvest tomatoes that we sold to get some income. Besides, I can hire it to other community members. This has benefited me and the village members at large. The issue of fees could bother me and I used to suffer from ulcers because of overthinking."

"My life is better now because I sleep in an iron roofed house. Previously, I was sleeping in a grass thatched house which could leak a lot on rainy days. I could over think and stand at night untill the rains stop. Am grateful to GiveDirectly for relieving me from this stress."
