"It has been long time since I had the desire to have hiring equipment like tents and chairs in order to have a reliable source of income. This ambition has never materialized due to inadequate capital. Receiving this money will mean achieving this goal and I will hire them to different functions in the community to earn me more income to sustain my family's needs."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months is that I will have bought a ploughing machine and oxen hence I will be able to prepare my farm easily. I will also be in a position to work on people's farms at a cost."

"I have always wanted my children to study up to university level since I was not able to go even up to high school level. I have always seen education as an investment and it always saddens me when my children are sent back home from school to collect school fees. Since I was able to offset their arrears using my transfers, I have been able to pay their first terms school fees using the money I got from my daily hustles. This has always made me so happy and for the first time in my life, my children will attend school for three consecutive months without being sent back home. Without GiveDirectly, I would not be so happy as I am now and this is so far the biggest difference in my daily life."

"If I never received the transfers from GiveDirectly, I would have not been able to fully pay college fee for my son who is in his last year of study. I had been struggling through casual labor to pay his college fee in bits, but when he succeeded to proceed to the last year of his study we used GiveDirectly's transfers to clear his fee. The school administration compelled us to settle all the arrears before he could report back to the college. I managed to comply with the transfers I received from GiveDirectly. I also spent my first transfer on buying high-quality iron sheets, and I now aspire to build a permanent house since such iron sheets are not suitable for a mud-walled house. I will have a nice presentable house. This too could have not been achieved were it not for the money from GiveDirectly."

"It is rare to see my husband smile and when I saw him smile on that day, I knew there must be some good news. What I was not sure of was its source, even though he was checking my phone. He raised his head and confirmed to me that we had received money from GiveDirectly. We were so happy and thanked God for the blessings. It is not every other day that we would have that kind of money."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will be having a cosmetic shop. I am planning to save money I get from the shop and use to buy a dairy cow so as to supply enough milk for my family. This is because currently, my mother spends a lot of money to buy milk from my neighbor and owning a dairy cow will thus reduce the expenses at home. I will also be able to sell the calves in future and buy a plot so as to build a salon shop and this will reduce the expense of renting the shop."

"My expection for the next few months is to ensure that my children go to school and learn. I have a son who is preparing to go to college and he will need some resources to use. Therefore I expect to have had enough of the resources to see him through college.I also expect to see an improvement in our lifestyle by having enough and healthy food to ensure we are healthy at all times."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, with the expansion of my poultry farming, I will be able to generate double the profits I have been getting from the activity which will help me achieve my dream of owning a dairy cow."

"I expect my life to change in the next six month in that I will have bought a dairy cow and I will be saving the money to pay school fees and even to buy other basic household needs for my family. I will have expanded my horticulture farming and selling the produce to earn extra money. Thanks to GiveDirectly for a wise decision it has really changed our lives."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfers because I have good lighting system at home from the solar which I purchased with GiveDirectly's transfers. In the past, I exclusively depended on kerosene lamp which was not only expensive but also unsuitable for my children's study. I also have a TV which is the main source of entertainment for my children. As a matter of fact, they do not have to stay longer at my neighbor's homestead because they can watch TV programs of their preference at home. Surely, God is together with his people. I am very grateful to GiveDirectly."
