"In the next six months l expect to have completed plastering my house and staying in it."

"I plastered the floor of my house that was initially dusty and full of potholes. Whenever it was being swept, dust flew high and this exposed us to respiratory track infections. It also encouraged the breeding of jiggers that made us uncomfortable. Nowadays, it is easier to clean and maintain. No more risks of respiratory track infections. The money that I could use on treatments can now be saved and used to pay school fees for my children. I bought a motorcycle that has become a self-employment opportunity that I depend on. I use it to transport customers without any stress of settling the leasing fee as before when I depended on other people's motorcycles. The money that I initially used to pay as leasing fee is spent on additional food stuff for my family. I am a happy person with hope to face life with courage and no desperation and worries on how to provide for my family. I am liberated from stressful life where we could go without food for a whole day. GiveDirectly has redefined my life for the better."

"I expect my life to change a lot in the next six months because I will have purchased cushions for the seats that I have in my house. Besides, I will be happier and enjoying higher self-esteem since my children will be having their own bedroom within our homestead. Still I will be running my own restaurant business so as to avoid the tedious casual work. Thus, I will be getting more income and leading a better life as a responsible and caring parent."

"My life in the next six months will be different because I will because I will be having savings to use in starting a business. I will start a shopkeeping business to be ruined by my wife. This will become an additional source of income."

"I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months since I will have started poultry farming. Besides, I look forward to purchasing a better breed of dairy cow to attract more milk for consumption and sale. Accordingly, I will be collecting more income from the sale of the capsicum, eggs, poultry, and milk that I will be getting from my farm. As my age advances, I am striving to ensure I have diversified sources of sufficient income for sustaining my family and myself."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I have completed buying building materials in readiness for constructing a decent house. Currently, I stay in a small one which leakes during rainny seasons. I had construted it using second hand iron sheets which were old and holes. I have to sgift my bed to a different coner of the house which is hectic. I know that, I will be relieved from this hectic work."

"I expect to have expanded my tea leaves business and will have built a shop to use in trading. This will make doing business better and more accessible hence a higher income."

"My life will change in the next six months because I will be having a piece of land. I will have also expanded my poultry business using a part of the next few transfers to buy some chicken every month."

"In the next six months, I want to boost my poultry business by even building shed for them. I would want to keep them from any form of harm, attack by wild animals or even diseases. I would want to minimise my expenses but maximise on the profits."

"In the next six months, I would want to buy a goat or cow which I will name Give Direct. This will be a remembrance for what GD has done in my life and also as an investment for my family. I will sell its offsprings to raise money to handle other family financial needs."
