"The biggest change in my life is that I am planning to renovate my house and the school fees burden has been reduced. My household was vacant with no basic items. However, I spent the cash transfer to purchase some house hold items like clothes, bedding and utensils. The cash transfers have made my life so comfortable as compared to the past where I would have to borrow money to pay school fees."

"I felt so good and I was thankful to God because I did not expect this money to have been sent at that time. I thought it would take a long while like a month or more but the money was sent so fast and I was really happy for that. I felt relieved from all the stress I had because I was so broke to the extent I had school fees arrears for my children waiting to be cleared."

"My life has changed in that, I have a stress free mind because I paid my children's tuition and bought livestock. Before, I used to sell food in order to raise my children's tuition which led to food shortage in the family. In addition, I also didn't have oxen to plough my farm land and therefore was costly for me to cultivate."

"My daily life has changed because I can meet the basic needs of my family like food with the profits from my motorbike business. Before, It was very hard since I had no source of income. In addition, my movements are no longer restricted during leisure time because I have means of transport . In past, I could not go to distant places."

"The greatest change that I have witnessed is that the GiveDirectly cash transfers made it possible for me to complete the construction of my house. Previously, I was thinking alot on how to complete my house because I did not have any income generating activity. I am grateful that GiveDirectly has empowered me to this stage."

"Currently, the change in my life is that, I do not over think on how to get an acre of land for cultivation, seeds to plant, a cow to provide food and act as a saving, to mention. earlier on, I did not have enough land for crop cultivation that made us food insecure."

"Generally I can say that my life has improved to a great extent because for one IO now have a business that is up and running and out of the business transactions, I am able to get enough money for my day to day needs. The members of this village no longer get transfers from GD but that does not worry me a t all because I am able to rely on my own finances and proceeds from my business."

"My life is different in that, I paid my children's school fees and got land for agriculture. In the past, I didn't have a stable source of income for paying my children's tuition and therefore had to rely on loans. I also had only one acre of land that couldn't produce enough food for my family. This usually led to famine since some times I had to sell the very little food for paying my children's tuition."

"I hope to have completed paying my daughter's school fees in the next six months so that I can focus on other projects. With her fees paid in time, she will have more time to concentrate on her studies and have improved performance at the end of the year."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I live a much more happy life. This is because I'm soon going to be rescued from the burden of sleeping in an old thatched house which has been leaking and very costly for me to renovate annually. Previously, many pressing needs like school fees couldn't allow me to begin constructing a permanent house since money was not enough."
