"My life is really different at the moment. I was among the poorest people in the village before receiving the transfer. My children were malnutritioned, they walked barefooted and wore torn clothes. On top of that, the house that I lived in was too small and the roof was leaking. I also did not own a cow of my own. At the moment life is really great courtesy of the transfer. My children are well clothed and well fed. I also own a dairy cow whose milk has helped reinstate the state of health of my children. I also built a bigger house with transfers and we now sleep comfortably."

"In the six months, I would want to buy cement and sand which I will in plastering my house. With the transfers, I was able to buy building materials such as iron sheets, nails, timber, steel windows and doors which I use in constructing a new house. Right now, I want to plaster so that it may be strong, durable and presentable."

"My life is different now in that, I have a peace of mind because I have acquired farm land which will enable me farm on time and therefore improve my harvest.Prior to receiving this cash from GiveDirectly, I used to over think a lot where to farm since I did not have enough land. This stress caused me ulcers."

"My life is different now in that, I live happy life because GiveDirectly's transfers have enabled me construct a house, but a bicycle, Livestock and feed my household. My movements have been eased because of my bicycle unlike in the past when I used to trek. Prior to receiving these transfers, life was so difficult in that we could only way once in a day. "

"My life is better now in that, I have a lot of happiness between me and my spouse because we have been able to complete the plastering our house. Secondly I have also bought household items that were lacking in my household like mattresses, Utensils, Bed sheets. Lastly, I have been able to payoff my land mortgage which I acquired for my treatment. Before receiving this money , we lived a misserable life of starving, Sleepping poorly and among others."

"My life has changed in that, my living conditions have improved because I now sleep in a permanent house. Prior to this, I used to stay in a grass thatched house that used to leak hence inconviniencing at night."

"My life is different in that, my self esteem has been boosted because I now own an ox that I can combine with my neighbour to enable us to plough land for crop cultivation."

"My life has changed because I have cleared debts which were stressing me. Before, I had no money to clear it. In addition, I have built permanent house. Previously I had only a grass thatched hut."

"My life has changed in that, I am happy because I sleep in an iron roofed house. Earlier on, I used to sleep in a leaky grass thatched house, whereby, when it rained, I had to fold my bedding until it stops."

"My life is different because I have got Livestock like a cow and a bull. When they multiple, I will use some to clear bride price for my son. Before, I had nothing to give as bride price. I'm sure of settling my-laws."
