"My life is different than it would have been because I have an iron sheet roofed house and cultivation land so I may have food at home. Before, my grass thatched house would leak when it rains inconveniencing sleeping at night and didn't have where to cultivate food. "

"Life is different than in that I now sleep under an iron sheet roofed house, I dress better and there's general happiness in me. Before, I used to sleep under a grass thatched house which would leak during a rainy season and my dressing was really poor with one or two clothes to use in a week."

"My life is different now in that, I'm so happy because I have built a permanent house. I can feed my family with ease since the money is there. Before I got the money, I used to suffer a lot during rainy season because the house I was occupying used to leak. Feeding was also difficult since there wasn't enough food and money to feed the houaehold."

"My life is better now in that, I live a more comfortable life because I can provide for the family. Nowadays we have three meals a day. Previously, we used to have one meal or even sometimes no meal at all. I'm proud that I have livestock that I using for milk production and plowing. Prior to getting these transfers I used to suffer hiring labor that was so expensive."

"My life is now different in that, I'm living a happy life because I paid the debt that gave me back ownership of my two acres of land I used as collateral for the loan. In the past, I didn't have money to pay it off and this left me with a half acre of land to grow crops. It used to worry me a lot since we always produced less food that wasn't enough or my family."

"I do not expect my life to change so much in the next six months because paying school fees for my children will be my main focus. I want them to stay in school like other children without being sent home like they used to before the transfer came to our village."

"My new goal is to save part of the preceding transfers and buy a sheep to rear and make an extra source of income in the near future when their population shall have increased significantly."

"In the next six months, I will have built my own house. This will make me have freedom in my own place. I can't wait to have my peace and independence after building my house. I know my brother can not send me away from his house but I will have to look for my place when he comes back. I normally ask for shelter in other people's houses when he comes over which is normally very uncomfortable. I am glad that Give Directly chose me as one of their beneficiaries because it has brought the dream closer."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have saved enough money which will necessitate the construction of my homestead that I have always longed for and it never seemed to come to pass due to meagre income or none."

"In the next six months, I will have bought more goats and hens. These will be my part of my investment which I can even resell in case of emergencies or even continue rearing them and get profits out of their sells later on."
