"In the next six months, I expect to have completed my course on food and beverage. I shall thereafter apply the skills I have learned to seek formal employment and be able to support myself. Once I succeed in securing a job, I shall use part of my income to support my siblings and my grandparents."

"Receiving this money means that I will purchase two dairy cows. This will mean a constant supply of milk in my village and the nearest Bamba market. Running this business will help me attain a stable source of income that will cater for my family needs. The biggest motive behind this is to achieve my ambition of educating my children. I believe that education is the only inheritance that I can give them since I own nothing apart from my small house. This will help them come out of the vicious cycle of poverty in our family, which I believe is caused by illiteracy."

"My life is different in that I have started a poultry project. I used part of my first transfer to buy chicken and build a poultry house. The income I get from the sale of eggs is enough to buy food for my family. I can now help my spouse to provide some of the family basic needs and I no longer depend on him to cater for the family needs as I used to do before receiving my transfers. I have also joined merry go round using the money I get from the poultry project. I will use the savings from merry go round to buy a goat since goats matures faster and I will sell them in future to pay school fees for my children."

"In the next six months, I expect to buy sheep and some chicken which I will keep for my financial security. I shall also be able to raise more livestock from these animals in the future. This will not only be of help to me but will also be a remembrance of the support I have been receiving from GiveDirectly."

"My life is so different now, I managed to construct an iron roofed house. I wouldn't have done this if it was not for GiveDirectly. Previously, I could struggle yearly to look for grass thatch for renovating my hut which was not easy because it is scarse."

"I plan to save some of these transfers once my daughter has joined college so that I can set up a business which will give me an extra source of income especially when this project is over. I have vowed not to depend on my husband again, especially after knowing how good it feels to have your own cash"
