"My life is different than it would have been because I have a peace of mind and I am happy. Before, I used to have stress due to over thinking on how to make ends meet for next day, to extent of not being able to sleep at night. "

"My life is better now in that, My health has improved now because I feed well 2-3 times a day on a balanced diet. I have gained a lot of weight and look good compared to the previous days when I used to have one meal a day because there was not enough money to buy food. In addition to that, I have managed to build a house that I never thought I could have built on my own with GD transfers. Very soon I will be sleeping in a cool house and I we will no-longer have to bother myself looking for grass as it was in the past."

"My life has changed because I'm now sleeping well in permanent house with enough fresh air. Before, I used to sleep in the kitchen and I could get cough as a result of smoke. In addition, I have a phone for communicating with relatives and friends. In the past, I had no phone so I was not in-touch."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that the transfer has enabled me to complete my house by purchasing some building materials that previously I could not afford due to inadequate finances. I am glad and satisfied for now I live in a new house comfortably with my family."

"My life has changed because I have got enough beddings which can accommodate my visitors. Before, I would request neighbours to accommodation my visitors in the night. In addition, I can also afford to change clothes. In the past I hardly changed clothes."

"My life has been different in many ways than it would have been had I not received GiveDirectly transfers. We now have a bigger and a more comfortable house, many thanks to GiveDirectly transfers. I never thought I could have a whole new house anytime soon however much I wanted to have one. The old house was so old and had a leaking roof which was often so uncomfortable for us especially during the rainy seasons when we could have long days and sleepless nights. This was so disgusting and often left me feeling like I had failed as a parent in providing one of the most essential needs for my family."

"My life has changed in many ways in the positive direction. After buying a water tank and connecting water into our compound travelling for long distances in search of this very essential commodity has been a thing of the past. I have now devoted the time that I would have otherwise used in search for water to do other reasonable things like farming that in the long run has seen me raise an extra income to support my family. My level of cleanliness has equally risen as I now have plenty of water to do any form of cleaning in my compound. This difference has been brought about by the GiveDirectly transfers that I received."

"In the next six months l expect to have started saving for my collage fee."

"In the next six months l expect to have started saving the money buy a few building materials to start renovating my house."

"I was living in a poor conditioned house which could bring worries to the family when it was raining. I have done farming which I believe will sustain my family economy in future. Now I have built a decent house that is spacious and strong. May God bless GiveDirectly."
