"I spent my second transfer to purchase a grinding mill, foodstuffs, paid school fees and hired a piece of land."

"My life is different from how it was in that, my business has grown after boosting it with part of the first and the second transfer which I got from GiveDirectly. The future is also bright for my children's education. I no longer strain like before because my income has since increased. I also have a few dairy cows and I can decide to sell milk so as to get money or even the young ones later in order to settle their high school fees."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to start up a produce business from the near by centre so that I can support my family. This business can make profits making it easier for me to provide for my household especially when it comes to paying school fees for my children and any other needs of the family. "

"Receiving this money means owning cows as an investment to the household which will improve household status. For a mean time, I will be able to hire oxen to plough land in order to facilitate early planting and better yields. I will be able to pay school fees in time which will enable my children attend classes fully hence better results."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of enough money to enable me fulfill my plans. I have felt like owning oxen and ox-plough to faciltate large scale crop cultivation for increased production. This has never been possible due to lack of money so I realise little crop produce each season. This can not support my family needs like paying school fees timely, and providing basic basic requirements."

"I dropped out of primary school while in my 3rd year of my studies due to lack of financial support from my parents in paying school fees. I had always wished to study upto the university level and study teaching as a career, a dream that was rendered futile then. I wish i had completed my studies and get employed by the government for a sustainable source of income but now i engage in casual jobs to earn a living"

"I thank Give Directly for coming, simply because they have relieved me from school fees burden which was my major challenge and this is the biggest difference in my daily life. Since I started receiving my transfers from Give Directly I have been using it to pay fees for my children hence they have never been sent home for fee balances unlike before. In addition, seeing my children accessing education without much difficulty makes me very thus I am living a peaceful life."

"I spent my recent transfers to boost my business of selling clothes. I felt this was the best business since no one was doing it yet the demand was very high. I used part of of it to pay school fees for my children. I finally saved the remaining amount because I know it will come in handy in future especially when an emergency arises"

"My life is better now because I have plastered my house that used to be dusty, I bought an ox and a ox plough to facilitate ploughing and I have already secured my child's school fees for next year first term. Before, I borrowed oxen and hired some times when I had money. I was not sure of my child's continuity with education due to lack of money."

"My life is different now, I have cleared my children's school fees, bought land and household items like a bed, mattresses, utensils which I did not have before. If I had not got the money, my children would have been sent out of school for fees."
