"Since I received the transfer from GD, I have been able to buy food for my family. My children are no longer starving unlike before when the would skip several meals a day. This affected their concentration in class, especially in the afternoon. I managed to engage in a few investment activities which helped me earn more income. As I speak their health has really improved and I believe that they will perform better in their studies."

"I am planning to buy building materials i.e cement and sand, iron sheets, nails and poles to use in building a new house as I have a thatched house that leaks when it rains. I also want to save more and boost my existing business to help generate more income for my family."

"The current change in my life is that, I am now healthy because, I feed well and I have less stress. Before receiving this cash transfer, I used to do more of casual work that was not even able to sustain my family's daily needs."

"My life is different because I have got a companion (wife) after fulfilling the traditional obligation of paying dowry. I'm no longer lonely. Before I married, I used to feel lonely, I had no one to cook for me and farming was difficult being one person. As of now, am doing well."

"In the next six months, I want to buy chics which I will use in starting my poultry business. I know with the business, I will have a good and stable source of income which will help me provide for my family well. I am getting old and I no longer want to go for casual work since my energy does not allow me to."

"In the next six months, I want to ensure I pay school fees for my children. I would not want my children to be sent home every now and again. This has affected their performance negatively and I want them to have the best and take maximum time and study in school."

"My life is better now in that, My standards of living have improved in so many ways for example, we feed well on a balanced diet, I bought Household items like mattresses, bed sheets, clothes and utensils. I did not have gardens to farm on but through GD I was able to have some. I never owned a bicycle my entire life but GD transfers blessed me with a bike. My home is now bright because I was able to buy a solar system that makes my home look like I use electricity. Prior to getting this money, Life was so difficult because I did not have where to farm on. My house was in bad shape and leaking but I was able to buy some grass and I thatched it. Finally transportation was so difficult because I did not have a bicycle which could have eased my movement."

"My life is different now in that, I sleeping in a complete iron roofed house. I built this house sometime back and was unable to complete it due to lack of finances. I did not have a bicycle for ferry water from the borehole which was too far from home but after receiving this money I decided to purchase one. I'm now self employed because I ride my motorbike which I bought using GD transfers and when I have an emergency, This bike has helped me a lot handle such cases. Prior to receiving this money, I had cursed my life and had no hope in life because I have a family of two children, orphans of my brother and my wife. Each day I used to wonder doing casual labor to earn money that can support my family. I'm so grateful because life has tremendously changed courtesy of GD transfers."

"My life is better now in that, My standards of living have improved because previously I could not afford certain items that are very expensive to acquire. These items include Mattresses, Good bed sheets, balancing the diet and build a permanent house. secondly I no-longer have Ulcers because things that I lacked I now own them and I no-longer have bad thoughts of sleeping in a leaky house. Prior to receiving this money, I had lost weight and my community members kept on wondering and asking me questions of could what had happened to me but it all zeroed down to lack of money to feed myself and the family as a whole."

"When I receive this money, I will build a commercial house for rentals because am near the road."
