"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of noney."

"My life is different now because I have paid tuition for my child to do a nursing course. I have also constructed an iron roofed house for my family. If I had not received the transfer, my daughter would have not gone to school. I used not to sleep well because of the leaking roofs in my home that would wet the beddings and the food."

"Currently, my life has changed in that, I feed well because I make money with the motor cycle I bought using GiveDirectly's cash transfer. Previously, I used to struggle to find means of getting food for the family."

"The biggest difference is that I am now I am enjoying good lighting in my household through the solar panel that I acquired through the GiveDirectly transfers. Previously I was using lamps and there was no hope of upgrading. The lighting has also provided a comfortable environment for my children's studies as well as relieving me the cost of buying daily kerosene for the lamps."

"My life is different because I'm now very clean. I can afford to change clothes on daily basis. Before, I was very dirty because I used the same clothe for garden work and for leisure. In addition, I have acquired an ox and a cow. I plan to use my ox for ploughing agricultural land during rainy season. In the past, I would plough my gardens late because I had to wait for the owner to complete before I could be given a chance ."

"Currently, my life has changed in that I am happy because I sleep in a better iron roofed house. prior to this cash transfer, I used to sleep in a poorly thatched house that would leak whenever it rained."

"My life has changed because am generally happy having constructed an iron roofed house. The future is brighter now, am thinking of other developments because the house issue is sorted. Before, I was sleeping in a grass thatched house with many rats that destroyed the food and the grass thatch leaving the roof leaking. I did not have hope of constructing an Iron roof house at this early age of mine but GiveDirectly has made way."

"The greatest change in my daily life is that, I am happy because I have acquired items that I didn't have. Previously, my life was miserable and I engaged primarily on rain fed agriculture which was unpredictable."

"My life is different in that I won't be labouring in other people's gardens in order get money since my bulls will be hired by others instead to plough their gardens. Before, my spouse used beg people with oxen to plough our gardens and I spent time labouring in other people's gardens to get money that will buy neccesseties at home."

"My life is different than it would have been because I have a peace of mind, better dressing and feeding. Before, I used to be stressed due to lack of money, and food was not regular at home like nowadays. "
