"My life is now different in that, I started the construction of my permanent house which I will move in very soon. Currently, I'm staying in small house that can not accommodate the whole of my family. In addition, I didn't have the financial muscle to construct another house."

"The current significant change in my life is that, My standard of living has improved because I renovated my house and built a pit latrine. In 2018, I used to live a sub standard life with a house constructed purely on semi permanent basis and a pit a latrine lacking."

"My life is better now because, I no longer live a stressful life whereby I have a peace of mind since I resumed my house construction and soon I will be moving in when completed. I managed pay school fees for my son too using the transfer. Prior to receiving this money, I bothered myself a lot with thoughts on how I will complete the house and send back my son to school."

"My life is currently different because I have acquired farm land that will help me have extensive commercial and subsistance farming. This kind of farming will enable me to sell off some food stuffs and meet some family needs such as education for my children and feeding my family. Before aquirng this land, famine was inevitable as food production was very low. I had only one garden that I used to leave and farm on. Hence, making life very difficult."

"The change in my life currently is that, we are happy because GiveDirectly enabled us to complete construction of my house which has given it beauty. Earlier on, my house was ugly because I had not plastered it due to lack of money which did not give it shape."

"My life is better because I have cleared the debt. Before, the person who borrowed me the money used to give me a lot of pressure. In addition, I have enough food (maize) for my family. Before we used to starved."

"This transfers have greatly improved my life in that, I went back to school to pursue a certificate in teaching. When I achieve it, I hope to get a job that will give me monthly income. Previously, I used to solely rely on music for livelihood since I'm a musician. This provided unreliable income that couldn't support my further studies and even meet basic needs like food, medical in months when I didn't make money."

"In the next six months, I am hoping that my business will have grown and will be able to earn much more income to support my family and even venture into poultry farming."

"Looking at GiveDirectly interventions, I am currently very happy because I acquired a bull in order to facilitate ploughing with the one I had earlier on bought. Previously, I would offer my manual support to other farmers in exchange for them to plough my farm land."

"The moment I received my money, I became very happy because I had received money that will help me take back my children to school, and pay tuition for my son to complete his certificate course."
