"From the day I received the transfers from GiveDirectly, my daily life has changed since I no longer go to fetch water on a daily basis as I now have a water tank unlike before. This has led me to dedicate most of my time on activities which earns me some money at end of the day."

"My life is different than it would have been if I would have not received the transfer because I have been able to pay school fee to my step-daughter who is currently enrolled in form one. I have also bought chairs which have changed the outlook of my house hence I do not nowadays ask for seats from the neighbors whenever I have visitors as I often did before I bought my own chairs."

"For so long, I have been having unfunctional living room since it had no seats nor a table and whenever I had visitors, I was forced to seat with them outside or borrow some from my neighbors. I am glad that all this are in the past now as I now have mine unlike before. Owning some seats and two tables is the biggest difference the transfers has brought into my life and I am really thankful to GD for enabling me fulfill my dreams."

"I am now a happier parent as I know that my children will not be sent back home to fetch school fees this year hence they will have enough time to concentrate on their studies unlike before when they used to come home almost every week. The thought of it makes my heart brightened as I view my children as an investment since I know that they will one day come and help me if they get a quality education."

"My biggest hardship is lack of agricultural land. This makes n lack food. My son is a sickler and I a big challenge to me as a widow."

"My biggest hardship is lack of finances for sustaining my family especially meeting basic needs. The other challenge is that our child was born disabled which has drained us financially. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land and build an iron roofed house. "

"When i receive this money, I will build a simple ironsheet roofed house and buy a few cows to help in agriculture."

"The biggest hardship which I face in my life is poor a commodation due to limited grass for covering the roof."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I expect the cow I bought to have given birth,hence, i will sell milk to my neighbors so that I can earn a little income to sustain my family."
