"In the next six months, I expect my new house to be fully built. This will bring a big change in my life since in it there will be a kitchen and another room for my visitors. I shall, therefore, be able to stay till late at night as I catch up with my visitors. I have always been afraid to stay till late with the visitors because I always have to take them to the neighborhood where they often sleep."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I have been able to relocate to another place. This has made me happy since I know that my son will not be meeting with boys of unruly character anymore. This is because where I am currently living in is near the school and I am glad because I have already seen some changes in his character. Being able to raise children who are well mannered has always been my prayer and I am now certain that I will be able to achieve this."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly is that I have been able to start poultry keeping project unlike before when it was just a wish. This has become my alternative source of income since I sometimes sell some eggs and use the money to cater for my needs. I believe that this project will grow over some time and it will always help me improve my life even when GiveDirectly program will be over."

"At the moment, the new goal for my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is to buy a piece of land back home. This is because the land there is still cheaper compared to buying it in town. I settled on land because I have so many brothers and the little piece of land my parents own will not be enough for all of us to build our houses there."

"I am a business person and I no longer operate this business since the state of my shop is pathetic as the roofs were leaking. When I received my most recent transfer, I spent all the amount to buy some iron sheets. I will use them to renovate my cosmetic shop so that I can start operating it."

"My goals now that I have started receiving the money is to go to college and study a course in mechanical engineering. I have always had a passion for repairing cars and it is now my wish to fulfill my dream. When I will be through with my studies, I will open a garage where I will be able to put into practice my knowledge gained in school. By doing so, I will be getting some income on a daily basis which I will be using to cater for my needs."

"When I received this recent transfer, I was able to purchase a cooler for my ice cream business. This has been plan ever since but I had not gotten the resource to start up. The remaining amount I bought ice cups. This is currently a source of income for my household."

"My husband had an accident and therefore could not do his day to day work to provide for the family. I was left with the burden of providing for the family alone from the little cash I got from casual work. I used to work extra hard to provide for my family before I received the transfer but now it is easy to provide for them as I got the transfer from GiveDirectly. I took my husband to the hospital and he is now feeling better. My husband had an accident and could not work to provide for the family."

"I expect that in the next six months, I will have plastered my house and relieved myself of the stress of constant renovations that usually come after every rainy season."

"It was seven o'clock in the morning when I received my transfer. I was so happy since I knew that I will use the money to start a new business which I have been thinking of but have never got the capital."
