"In the next six months l expect to have started business to be self employed."

"In the next six months, I expect to have started up as a small scale business where I will be selling vegetables. This will earn me additional income thus will be able to meet most of my household's needs such as buying food, paying school fees for my children as well as addressing any financial emergencies that might occur."

"I had no oxen to plough my land so as to obtain better harvests for we mainly depend on subsistence farming. I was previously cultivating a smaller acreage for I could not afford the cost of hiring. Through the GiveDirectly transfer, then I acquired a pair. Through the pair, I will be able to cultivate a bigger acreage to increase food production for my family. To me, this is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"The biggest difference is that the transfer has enabled me to buy new clothes for my family and school uniforms for my children. Buying new clothes to me was just a dream that I never imagined it would come true. We are now happy with enough clothing which it was only through the support from GiveDirectly."

"I expect to have plastered my house in the next six months. It is currently made of mud which makes it really dusty and difficult to clean. This has been the major cause of the flue my children are having."

"I saw the notification in the morning and for sure I could not believe it at first. As I went through the message, I realised that GiveDirectly had honoured their promise, for indeed I had received my first transfer. I was happy and greatly overjoyed for I never imagined that I would get such money in my life."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months in that I will have a reduced burden of the daily household expenditure. I will be having a business trading in milk. From the proceeds, I will earn an income that I will use to meet the needs of my family."

"In the next six months, I would want to plant tress in my home. I know in the next two-three years, I will be able to sell them and get an income which will hgelp me handle my family needs easily."

"Receiving this money means that I will now build a house.The house that I am living in is so tiny and grass thatched.I will build a bigger house with an iron sheet roof.I will then buy two sheep with remaining part of the first transfer. "

"In the next six months, I expect to plaster the walls of my main house. It is currently made of mud which is usually washed down during rainy days forcing me to be smearing often to maintain its firmness. Plastering the walls will be a permanent solution and will also make my house look better than it does."
