"Iam so happy and feel more confident that am going to receive money from Givedirectly.It means my dreams of building a new house,purchasing a cow and cultivating bigger land under maize will be realised."

"WhenI received my first transfer, I completed payment of my farm land in order to cultivate crops. I paid school fees for my two children since education is important. I have also paid for labour towards digging a pit latrine in order to improve on family hygiene. I spent part of the transfer for purchaisng a cow which will act as an income generating activity for my household and the balance I bought household items like plates, saucepans and bedsheets in order to improve on my living conditions."

"My new goal is to build another house and buy a cow."

"I have a new goal to buy a dairy cow.This will help to earn an income from selling milk."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I now own a cow which I bought with the money I got from Give Directly. Most people at my age cannot afford to buy a cow, and to me I have one which makes me feel proud and grateful to GD for the support."

"In the next six months I will be living in my own piece of land I bought and will have a new house.I will have bought a cow."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I have nice poultry house.I did not sell my cow to pay school fees for my child to join college.I continue to get milk that is a daily income."

"I expect my life to be better in the next few months. I will be earning an income from my farm since in the next five months I will be having my first harvest and my first income from its sale. I plan to buy a cow using proceeds from the farm. I will also have enough finances to meet the needs of the livestock. My economic level will not be the same - it will be higher."

"My life is currently so different. Things would have been tough for me had I not received Give Directly transfer. I used to go to casual work to get basic things such as toiletries and food but now I have funds and I do not need to do casual work. I am free to do my own and I am happy and so grateful, thank you. We even have another house that was built using the transfer still. Initially, we were all living in one small house yet we are a big family but now we are comfortable as a household because we have enough space for us. We also have a cow that my mother bought using her transfer. We used to buy milk daily but now the cow is about to give birth and give us milk and we won't be buying it any more. We are happier and more peaceful as a household courtesy of Give Directly."

"My life is currently different because I have a piece of land that I leased.I also have a cow that gives me an income from the milk it produce.My husband's attitude towards life has greatly improved and is more enthusiastic to work for the good of our family.He used to drink all the money he got from casual jobs but has since stopped when he received this transfer.We are happier and more hopeful since he has completely gotten way from his drinking habits"
