"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I live each day with a peace of mind. Before; paying my children's fees made me stressed since I couldn't raise money on time. But with this transfer, I paid it on time and can raise the next term's fees by selling the water melon."

"My new goal is to buy a few building materials such as iron sheets and nails. I am planning to build an iron-roofed house. I am currently staying in a grass thatched house which is usually difficult to maintain. I can't even harvest rainwater because grass-thatched roofs can't hold water. It is also a sign of poverty and people tend to despise you when you live under such conditions."

"My additional goal in life is to cement the two remaining rooms. I am also planning to buy a water tank. I will be using it to collect and store rainwater during the rainy season. It will also ensure that my family has clean water that is safe for drinking. This will save us from walking long distances in search of water. We will also not risk contracting water-borne diseases."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now happy after getting financial support and bought the oxen. I believe and hope they will be of great help in ploughing my farm since the pair can take fewer days to plough an acre as compared to tilling myself. I believe I will get increased harvest products from the previous ones being that I prepared my farm in time unlike before when I used to do it myself. The oxen will also be helping in fetching water since the dams are very far from the village. Apart from that, I will also hire them to my neighbors at a fee and get an income to help me sustain my family needs without straining."

"We have a persistent water problem in our village which forces us to walk several kilometers to the nearest water point. This is usually tiresome and hectic because we end up wasting a lot of time which could otherwise be used in other meaningful activities. Therefore, once I am done with building my house, I will ensure to I build a water tank. I know once we harvest enough water during the rainy season, it would sustain us up to the next rainy season. I will now have time to work on my farm and which may lead to improved farm produce."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to meet my daily basic needs such as food and water a lot easier than before. I plan to use part of my transfers as capital for a second hand clothes business that my last born will be managing. With the profits made from it, I will buy food, water and other necessities. I also intend to buy oxen to assist me in farming thus increasing my yields because I will be able to cover a larger portion of my farm within a shorter time. "

"Receiving this money will enable me to complete plastering my house. I built built semi permanent house but it is not complete because I lacked money. Plastering it will strengthen the wall hence making it durable. I am sleeping in it currently but when it rains, the water splashes to the wall which weakens it."

"I was able to install water in my house with the previous transfers. This has saved us from the struggle of walking for long distance in search of water. In addition to that, I was able to clear a loan I owed One Acre Fund foundation. I feel free and happy because I can now do my projects without being interfered with."

"The biggest difference is that I get clean water for domestic use right in my compound. I used to cover long distances to fetch water from someone's dam. It used to be hectic and I always wanted to buy a water tank to collect rainwater from my roof but this was impossible given that I get little, only enough for food from my farm. I currently get time to do other chores and give more attention to my farm that would have been wasted looking for water. Thank you so much GiveDirectly."

"In the next few months, I am planning to save enough money so that I would be able to construct a water pan. The pan will help in harvesting rain water for my livestock. The water would also help me to water my crops during the dry season. This idea will permanently solve the water crises that has held me back for a long time now."
