"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly is that I have now started keeping some turkey. It has been my dream for a long time but since the start-up capital is so high and my little income could not allow me to do so. I kept on hoping that I would one day accomplish this idea. I thank Give Directly for coming through to help me start this business because it is going to open many doors for me."

"My life is better than how it was before I received the transfers. When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my life was shattered because I ended up selling the property I had accumulated to cater for the medication. My children are still young and this really disturbed me because I did not know where to start again especially in proving good education to them. When GD came in, my hope for life was rejuvenated. I used the transfers to invest on dairy farming. This will help me cater for my children education and also continuously pay for my medication."

"My life is different in that I have a spacious house for my family. I used to live in a one-roomed which was congested and I am now glad since I have a separate bed room for my children and a store room to keep my belongings. I can also welcome visitors comfortably unlike in the past when I used to be embarrassed whenever I had visitors since they used to go to sleep with my neighbor. I also bought enough food for my family and I have started saving the income from my business something I did not do in the past since I used to spend all the money I get on food."

"My life is different in that I am very happy woman to have built an iron sheet roofed house to give me a rest from looking for roofing grass every year. Maintaining a grass thatch houses has become so costly since it's now scarce in the village. "

"My life is different than it would have been because I am very happy to have an iron sheet roofed house within a short period of time. Before, I used to sleep under a leaking grass thatched house, on top of not being so spacious and it's very difficult to find grass to roof a house nowadays. "

"My life is different in that I am happy to have built an iron sheet roofed house. Before, I used to sleep under a leaking grass thatched house but this money has relieved me from moving long distance in search of roofing grass."

"My life is different in that there's joy of hope money will be generated with chicken project I intend to start soon and this will make me financially independent. I spent all my savings before to educate children and had difficulty having money to support life."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I have been able to buy some building materials. I could not have afforded this if I only depended on my initial source of income. I have also been able to join college and I am currently pursuing a course in hairdressing and beauty. I would have never done any course in the first place were it not for Give Directly to intervene. I like the progress I am making in life ever since GiveDirectly came into my life. With all this, I believe that my life will always continue changing and I thank the Almighty for making this come into reality."

"I currently have additional goals that I did not have before I started receiving the transfer. One of my goals is to finish my studies. I had differed at first due to lack of school fees. Neighbors had started talking bad about me saying I was expelled from schools throwing very nasty reasons as to why I was expelled. I am now glad that I will continue with my studies and pursue my dreams."

"I am a taxi driver and thought of starting another business in order to expand my source of income and when I received my most recent transfer, I decided to spend it to open a butchery business. I decided to venture into the butchery business since there were no butchery shops in our place. I knew the demand was high and hopefully I would succeed in it. Since most people like meat, I knew I would get enough profit. I also have already gotten some tenders from different hotels whom I supply them with meat on a daily basis. This business is doing well and I don't regret going for this idea. I thank GiveDirectly for giving me a start-up capital."
