"My goals now that I have started receiving the money is to open a boutique. This business is luxurious since most people prefer visiting boutiques compared to other shops since they can find a variety of things under the same roof. I will be saving some money on a daily basis and invest others in this business. I was not able to join college after completing my high school education due to lack of money and I will use my savings after some time to pay for my school fees so that I can go back to school. It has always been my prayer to further my studies and pursue a course in bachelor of commerce since my childhood and I will be so grateful to God seeing my dream come true."

"Receiving this money means that I shall use it for building ironroofed house and purchasing household items like mattress,plates and cups."

"Receiving this money means that I will be in position to build an iron roofed house, buy a cow so that I can have milk."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago, because l am now staying in a nice iron roofed house where l do not need to worry when it is raining."

"My goals now that I have started receiving the money is to open a boutique business. I settled on this because I will be able to sell different items under one roof hence I will be able to attract more customers since they will be knowing that they will find all the items they need for themselves in one place and this will save them time. This business is also lucrative and I will be using my income to improve the lives of my family and to cater for their needs. With this business, my life will change forever even after when GiveDirectly will have finished their program in our region."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have a new iron-roofed house. I had dreamt of building an iron-roofed house but was not able to due to my small income from casual work. I have been living in a small grass thatched house which was not very uncomfortable for my family. I tried saving for a new house but I ended up using all my savings on other family needs such as school fees. With GD transfers, I was able to buy building materials such as iron sheets, timber and nails which I have since used in building a new house of preference."

"Receiving this money means that I shall use it for buying a cow for milk and also build ironroofed house. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been in position to construct an iron roofed kitchen and plaster my semi permanent house. Before, the rains had started weakening the wall that would have caused the house to fall since it was not plastered. I didn't have money to seek proper treatment and construct an ironed roofed kitchen."

"My is life is different in that I am very happy to have acquired land and changed the roof of my to iron sheets protecting me from strong rains. Before, I had no land to grow food crops and my house used to leak when it rains."

"I have renovated the roof of my house that was rusty and leaky. I have no worries that I shall be rained on during cold weather as before. This gives me courage and hope as I did not have any alternative source of income that could enable me make the improvements. I also used some part of the transfer to construct a separate kitchen that serves as a store. My valuables are never stained with smoke emitted when cooking. I spent the remaining part of the transfer to prepare my farms that I have already planted sugarcane on which will mature in the next two years and add to the financial security for my household."
