"My life is now different in that I now own my own motorbike for my own transportation business. I am now self employed. I was employed before as a motorbike rider whereby I offered transportation services for my employer who would receive a certain commission from me everyday. I now own my own motorbike and all the money that I make is my own."

"My life is better than how it was, before I used to live in a semi-permanent house with mad walls though cemented floor. I was not contented with that house so upon receiving my transfers I bought building materials to help in the construction of a permanent house. Currently, I live in a permanent iron roofed house. This makes me feel good."

"My life is currently very different from how it was, I live in a permanent house which was not the case before. I used to lived in grass-thatched house which was also leaking. This was very uncomfortable especially when visitors were at home and it started raining. I also managed to purchase a parcel of land where I am planning to move to in the near future and establish my home. This would have taken me ages to achieve but with GD I was able to do it within a period of three moths. What else can I ask for but be grateful for the transformation journey of three months."

"In the next six months, I shall have joined college and this will be a great step towards changing my life. Completing the course that I have always desired to, shall bring me a great sense of satisfaction. Getting the skills shall have equally empowered me to be competitive in the employment industry. I am also optimistic that I will get a job after completing the plant operator course and by so doing I shall have been empowered to get my own money and have a descent life. My success shall be attributed by a great extent to the transfers that I received from GiveDirecctly."

"In the next six months, I expect to save more money from my monthly transfers, pay school fees in time and make other family investments that will help me raise more income to sustain my family. Nothing makes me happier as a father than to be able to meet most of my responsibilities as a parent and raise a happy family."

"My life is different in that I no longer walk for long distance to fetch water and I can now have all the time to work in my farm. I also sell water to my neighbors to get an income to meet my family basic needs. I also have enough food for my family as I used my transfer to buy two bags of maize which will last us for some time and my spouse can now save the money that he could have used to buy food and used to meet other family basic needs."

"My life is currently different than it was before because I used part of my transfers to buy a modern chair which I could not imagine I would own in my life. I also bought a high-density mattress which replaced my old mattress and at the moment I sleep comfortably. Currently, I own two cows and my house is well furnished. I also own pan for cooking chapati as a result, I do not need to ask for any from a neighbour."

"My life is different in that I have two additional dairy cows that gives me enough milk to sell. This has supported us in paying school fees for our children. My beans selling business has greatly improved and it has reduced the family feuds with my husband. I have been able to understand and support my husband whenever he needs."

"The biggest difference is that I now have sofa seats in my house. This was not the case before, I only had stools and a mat. I also take milk tea on a daily basis thanks to the cow that I bought with the transfers I received from GD. My family living standards have been improved."

"I received the notification very early in the morning. At this moment, I was greatly amused at the sum of money that GiveDirectly had sent to me as I went through the message. I could not hold the happiness in my heart and the joy that finally replaced the sorrows that I have gone through in my life."
