"I used my second transfer to buy building materials for my house project which has been my dream for some time now, I also paid my granddaughter school fees with some it and the remaining amount was used to buy food for my family."

"I have been dreaming of owning a land but didn't know how it could happen because I didn't had any money to pay for it but through GiveDirectly transfer, I now have a great hope of getting it very soon. I also wanted to pay for my daughter school expenses but things have been so difficult, now that GiveDirectly has sent me this money, I was able to settle everything about her schooling."

"My new goal is to fence my land. I want to do the fencing because I want to leave the cows to graze freely on their own. Most of the time there is no one to look after the cows when we have gone out to work. As a result, we usually tie the cows up and leave them to graze. The cows do not get enough feeding through this method. I currently do not have the money to do the work but I plan to raise the needed amount from my business of vending fruits and vegetables. Apart from that, I also usually do the business of preparing tea and selling it in a small kiosk. There are a few self-help groups that I have joined that we usually make merry-go-round contributions. I am waiting for my turn to receive the contributions. I plan to use the money that I will get on fencing. With the fenced land, my cows will be able to graze freely without being tied up or looked after. They will be able to feed well and I will no longer have to worry about them going to the farm to destroy the crops that have been planted."

"I am a farmer. My family and I make our living from the farm produce. My previous goals have been to build a guarantee country kitchen, enlarging my farm and changing the old roof over my house. I need the kitchen to be reserving my farm produce in it. I have not been able to do so because I had no money to see my goals or dreams come to reality. Receiving this transfer means gaining freedom from thinking about where to palce my produce during the time for harvest and changing my roof. I would like to spend the transfer on changing my old roof and my kitchen and enlarge my farm to produce more crops and sell them to save money just incase GiveDirectly cash transfer stop."

"My past life hasn't been easy, to even get food for my family used to be very difficult for me. But when I started receiving payment my life started getting better. My New goals now is to buy a motorcycle for business. I will used that motorbike for traffic to unable get savings."

"The biggest difference in my daily life now is I'm able to buy Iron sheets and mattress for my self. My life has changed for the better, because I no longer has leakage on top my roof. I have mattress to sleep on, my health is improving now, I have enough of food. I'm so thankful to GiveDirectly for their support."

"I was going on the farm when I received a message with a huge amount of money in it. I was very much happy and calculating how to used my money. I was happy because its my first time getting money for free without paying back. Before than I used to farm the whole day just to get money to paid my children school fees and provide good food for them. My son was seriously sick I never had money to carry him to the hospital, but I'm so thankful to GiveDirectly for their support. With the money I received I was able to take my son for treatment."

"Upon cashing out my second cash transfer,I bought four bundles of zinc, pay labours to cut sticks,and three packs of zinc nail."
