"My life has greatly improved in that, I have expanded my restuarant business which is now making more profits than I used to. I also bought an ox which is ploughing my farmland. This has enabled me to cultivate my crops in time without waiting for oxen for a long period of time as I used to."

"My life has tremendously improved in that, I'm now a very respected and loved man by my in laws. This is because I treated my mother and sister in law when they were admitted in the hospital. In addition, I bought pigs that I hope to sell in the future and buy cows for paying my wife's bride price. Previously, I never had money to buy livestock."

"My life is now different in that, I'm living a healthy life because I nolonger lack money to buy basic needs especially food. Previously, I didn't have any source of income and this made me to worry a lot over how to meet these needs hence deteriorating my health. In addition, I bought cows of which one is about to calf and I can sell the milk for income."

"The additional goals in my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is to save the little money I will be getting from my business so that I will use it in building my own house. By doing this, I will always be comfortable visiting my in laws since I will be knowing that I have my own house to sleep at."

"At the moment, I do not have any new or additional goals in my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer. The only goal I currently have is to grow my business empire so that my daily income will increase. By doing so, I will be able to save some money that I will use to pay for my dowry when I get married. This business will also help me cater for my family needs on time and make sure they they lack nothing."

"My parents neglected me and I had to fend for myself at a very tender age. They never cared for me and I had to undertake casual jobs after school in order to raise school fees and other basic needs. This made me perform poorly in my final primary examination, something which I believe is the root cause for my poverty. Maybe I could be living a better life if I had received education up to tertiary level. I therefore consider parental deprivation as my biggest challenge as it has resulted to all my current problems."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I have made one step in life by expanding my business. This led to an increase in my daily income and I have now also started saving some money on a daily basis. Because of this, my family no nonger lack their basic needs and I thank God because all this would not have happened if i had not received my transfers."

"school fees 30000, food 3000, restock 3500 I received my most recent transfer at a time when my daughter in form four was on a mid term holiday. Because of this, I spent a good amount from it to pay her school fees since she had been sent with a letter indicating that she should not report back to school without paying the remaining amount of school fees. I knew that failure to comply would result to her being sent back home and I did not wish that to happen because I needed her to concentrate on her studies. I spent the remaining amount to boost my business by buying some more stock since I had been using the little profits I used to get pay her school fees. I knew that it would collapse at any time and I never wished something like that to happen as it was my only source of income."

"I received the message notification early in the morning. I quickly checked the message notification because I was surprised who would have to text me this early in the morning. Upon checking, it was notifying me that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I felt very happy because I knew that some of my dreams will be fulfilled."

"In the next six months, I expect to have replaced my house's roof. I shall, therefore, be living in a better house with good roofing thus I shall be safe from rain. Moreover, my household items and beddings will also be safe from rain. I shall no longer be disrupted from sleep when it rains at night because I shall be having a good shelter. Through it all, my life will change for better and I shall be living happily."
