"My life has changed because I'm building my permanent house which did not have in my home. Before, I had grass thatched huts which were even leaking. I have acquired household goods for my visitors like utensils. In the post, I did not have specific utensils."

"To date, my life is different in that, I am happy because my household is food secure. I used GiveDirectly cash transfer for starting construction of my house other than selling food. Previously, I used to sell more of household food for solving family problems like building, leaving my household food insecure."

"My new goal is to own my own house whereby I will no longer have to pay rent. I hope to buy and own a house here in Mathare, so I never have to pay rent again."

"My life is different in that receiving this money helped me to see to it that I paid fees for my child who was in a candidate class (senior four) making me so proud that her future was bright. Before receiving this money, I was really hard up as all the assets I used to sell to educate her were used up. This time my daughter was meant to stay home which would delay her dream until I got the money to send her back to school."

"The current change in my life is that, there is visible beauty in my household through the permanent house that I built. Before, my household was not presentable because it had grass thatched houses that were leaking."

"My life is great because my wife who is diabetic accessed adequate treatment. In the past, I could cultivate and sale off most of the Agricultural produce to treat her. However, we experienced food shortage. In addition, I have acquired Agricultural inputs like oxen and land to enable me cultivate in time. Before, I could not farm in time because I had to wait for the owner of the oxen to finish."

"I expect to have completed my home improvement. I will have completed the construction of a house for my children. They will be using their own room in the next six months."

"Building my permanent house that is cost effective when it comes to maintaining as its done once, has made my life different in that I am relieved when it comes to buying grass to keep renovating my former grass thatched house which was expensive to maintain. In the past, I had to look for grass to renovate my house almost every year in a far village as there was no near by place that I could get it."

"Currently, my life is different in that, I am happy because GiveDirectly's cash transfer has helped my child get treatment. earlier on, I used to struggle to look for money towards meeting treatment bills through selling part of the food items in the household."
