"My day is always occupied with a lot of activities at my work place. When I wake up in the morning, I prepare my children to school. Thereafter, I go and collect water which I use them at my work place. I come back home in the evening around half past seven o'clock when my body is exhausted. It is only at this time when I can relax and therefore, this is the happiest part of my day."

"My life is different from how it was four months ago because I was able to buy a water tank. It is big enough to store rainwater up to the next rainy season. This means I will no longer go without water. This will save me from going long distances in search of water, hence saving time to do other constructional duties. I also no longer overwork my self with casual jobs but concentrate more on my own farm and I feel I am more stable financially courtesy of Give Directly."

"The transfer has enabled me to purchase building materials which include iron sheets, bricks, sand and cement in order to construct a new permanent toilet that can serve as many people as possible in our village. We will no longer be defecating in the bushes which was exposing us to infections. To me, having a new toilet is the biggest difference in my daily life since I will no longer be living with the fear of being infected by water-borne diseases like cholera and dysentery."

"In the next four months I am planning to start a business that will see me get a sustainable source of income. We are very well aware and alive to the fact that GiveDirectly transfers shall soon cease to exist and we are thinking of diverting our remaining transfers to be able to start a business that will see us have extra income going forward.By this time we shall have as well been able to have clean drinking water in the compound, a project that is nearing its completion."

"My life is currently different because I was able to pay school fees for my children who can now stay in school and concentrate on their studies without worries of being sent home from school. I also bought building materials that I used to build a new house as I had an old house that leaked when it rained. I also bought materials like pipes that I used to pipe water into my compound. We used to walk for a long distance just to get a jerrican of water and would take up most of my time. I also sell the water to generate income for my family. We also have clean drinking water."

"Building a good house for myself and the family to live in better conditions is one of the things that would never have happened were it not for GiveeDirectly.I used apart of the transfers to put up a house that is looking better and cleaner than the old dilapidated one that was leaking whenever it rained. The roof is iron sheets as opposed to the grass thatch that I had used initially. Water in my household too has become easily available because I dug a well. In fact, the well is now a source of income as I charge my neighbors who come here to collect water. The income is now being used I meet my daily household needs. This well will now be for a very long time a constant source of income because of the scarcity of water in our area. My children will enjoy the benefits hence this will be part of my inheritance from me Additionally, my home has been greatly improved because I bought sofa sets that are enough to host visitors at any time. This is unlike before when I would have to borrow from my neighbors which was quite hectic I am happy to receive anyone in my home at any time without having to go through the shameful ordeal."

"After my children leaves to school in the morning, I am required to fetch water from another village which takes me three hours to be back home. In arriving home, I feel very exhausted. It is only in the evening that I get ample time to relax my body and therefore, this is the happiest part of my day."

"My life has improved because I'm building my permanent house. I hope to complete it when I get my last transfer. I'm sure of sleeping in permanent house which I never thought of. Currently, I'm still sleeping in leaking thatched house with my children. When it rains heavily, I have to stay a wake in order to collect the dripping water so that it doesn't wet the mattress and bedding."

"I spent a larger portion of my second transfer on renovating my house and now I have no worries that my house would collapse on me when it rains because previously the house I was staying in was weak and with the presence of big cracks on the walls. The remaining transfer I bought bedding and water container to store water."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have got additional ox to supliment the one I had, which has relieved me from the burden of hiring people's oxen that are not available at a time you need. I also have a water drum and new bedings now. Before receiving this transfer, I had an ox that Couldn't help me plough my farm land and hiring oxens was quite expensive."
