"Life is now different in that I have a taxi motorcycle providing daily income. Household items acquired like utensils add life to my house, and there's enough cultivation land re-possessed after paying off a standing debt in which it was used as security. Before, I used not have cultivation land, not enough household items to even host a visitor, and no source of daily income to support life. "

"My living standards have improved ever since I received the cash transfers. I acquired nice house hold items such as ( two mattresses, chairs and utensils) which have made my home presentable in case I receive visitors. In addition to this, I purchased a motorcycle that is earning daily income. Earlier in time,I had old broken utensils and I had no chairs for visitors. The children used to sleep on a small mattress which was uncomfortable. I am very delighted that GiveDirectly sent us the cash transfers."

"My life is currently different in that I was able to build a permanent though it was using the first transfer. This has has given me joy and a sense of freedom as I no longer have to move places looking for grass and keep renovating my former hut. In addition, I am delighted that together with my husband we acquired a motorcycle that has boosted his business of selling water in the community. This has as well enabled us to sustain and eased transportation in my family. Prior to receiving this money, my husband used to sell water using a bicycle which was a little tiring since he had to move long distances and it was time consuming."

"The moment I received my transfer, I was over whelmed by joy because I knew it will enable me under take any course of my choice." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My next goal is to buy a motorcycle and start a taxi business. I will use the money I have been saving from farming to buy it. This will be a good source of income that is not as labor intensive as in working for little wages in other people farms."

"The biggest difference in my daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer is that I have devoted all my time on my farm. I do horticulture farming and every year my family have enough food through the season. Before I used to do casual jobs in the village and this was taking much of my time and I was not able to do my own work. The small amount of money I could get was not even enough to meet all my family household needs and also pay school fees for my children in school. My spouse could also struggle so much but he was earning a small income. I have also started poultry farming which is earning me daily income to meet additional household needs and my spouse has also saved some money and he has bought a motorcycle which he currently operates."

"Before, I used to walk long distances on foot or ride a borrowed bicycle,with no money to support life. But now, I ride a taxi motorcycle which gives me daily income to support my family, and this brings joy to me."

"Being a subsistence farmer with all the family needs to be taken care of, meeting all to the necessities was challenging. I engage in farming that does not have a predictable return since it depends on both climatic condition and prices in the market hence making unstable for me. Maintaining a family from one harvesting season to the next was had since I could spend most of the farm returns on my children school fees hence living us little for family consumption that could get finished. The biggest difference in my daily life currently is daily returns I earn from the motorcycle I bought using part of my first transfer. I currently have a daily income that had never happened before. I have a security of providing for my family through the motorcycle taxi that my husband operates daily and even save some for other financial needs that might arise."

"For the next six months of my life, I expect to have met the goal of purchasing a cow. Thereafter, I'm planning to save some money so that I can purchase a piece of land which I will use to put up my home. The current piece I have now is too small yet I have a large family hence my children will not have enough land to put up their houses. I would love to also give inheritance to my children when I finally die." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"In the next six months, I expect to have bought two cows. I will use part of the transfers and money from the sale of some of my sheep in order to purchase them. The heifers will eventually calf and be a good source of income from milk production. I will be able to pay school fees easily and provide for the family." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
