"With next year in mind, I decided to save most of my most recent transfers so that I will have an easy time paying school fees for my child as well as buying the school requirements without any trouble. There are usually a lot of School requirements at the beginning of the year which is why I thought I should start saving early enough to avoid inconveniences. I spent what I had left after the savings on foodstuff and other household needs."

"In the next six months, I hope that my poultry farm will have picked up well. I am expecting to get a good amount of money through this business considering the high demand for eggs in this region. I will not be struggling to meet my daily expenses because I now have two sources of income. I can now start pursuing my long term goals because I now have the means to reach most of these goals. I want to first focus on paying school fees for my children and investing in other projects."

"Before I became a beneficiary of this project, I had a lot of problems paying for my rent and most times, my landlord would lock me out and threaten to kick me off his premises. I also had a lot of trouble paying school fees for my children who would constantly be sent away from school because the little income I had was very little. With the help of these transfers, I can now comfortably take care of these without any stress."

"Owning the pair of oxen has greatly improved my farming since I am able to prepare and cultivate much early than I used to do, which makes the biggest difference in my daily life. Initially, I used to own a pair but I sold them later on in order to clear school fees for my children so that they would be allowed back to school. Since then I have been hiring from my neighbors during the planting season which was very expensive to me. Sometimes I could not afford to cultivate my whole acreage because I wasn't able to meet the full cost of hiring the services. I had no option but to use the hoes by myself which was very tiresome and the harvest was just a handful. However, my life is currently different because, through this money, I managed to purchase the new pair of oxen which means I will no longer be hiring from anyone, instead, I will be hiring them at a fee. I will also be ploughing and cultivating my whole acreage and get plenty of harvests, which will ensure food security for my family."

"Owning the goats has made my life to be so different so far. I settled in buying goats because, first, they can live in any climatic condition and they reproduce twice a year and they mature faster compared to other domestic animals. I believe this will make me wealthier in a short period of time. I have been longing to rear them for a long period of time but I could not afford it because they were costly and my daily income was too low. The majority have started reproducing and when the offsprings mature and multiply, I will exchange them for a dairy cow. I believe this is going to happen in a few months to come. From the benefits I will be getting I will be able to pay school fees for my children without straining and some other basic needs."

"I bought a dairy cow with a second transfer. I was determined to have a cow and this was the chance that had availed itself for me to achieve this goal. The various profits that I was going to get afterward like milk which I can sell and even consume some with my family are the reason why I, even so, this as a good project. I also bought sheep which I can resell to take care of emergencies. The remaining amount was spent on shopping and cleared school fees for my two children too."

"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."
