"My life is different because I have been able to diversify my farming activities. Before GD came for enrollment, I rarely planted maize since I used to deal with sugarcane alone but this is a different case now. Due to this, I no longer buy maize flour throughout the year. This has enabled me to cater to my family needs on time."

"I usually shut my phone when I sleep, so one morning when I was still sleeping I got a message notification and upon checking, I got so happy and excited and immediately knew that I would finally build myself a new house."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change in that I will be more economically empowered than I am right now. I expect to have established my farm and more improved livestock keeping and change my life a lot."

"I have always been wished to own dairy cow for so many years but I could not afford it due to scarce resources. Therefore after getting muy transfers, I settled in buying them because the milk that I will be getting shall improve my health and also gt some little cash from the extra litres that I will be selling to my neighbours. I have been buying milk from all those years from my neighbours and it was very costly for me. It will be a relief to me because I will be saving the money that I will be getting and start some other projects. I thank GD for blessing me with such assets because they have completely changed my life."

"since I have been depending on casual jobs the money I was getting was not enough to cater to my family's basic needs ad also pay their school fees. Education is a basic right for every child to access, this really stressing me as a parent. After receiving the transfers, I managed to send some to and paid school fees for some and this assures me of good results. This is because they will no longer be distracted by being sent home any time soon due to untimely payment of school fees. This makes my life to be different and I am hoping that my children generation shall b bright courtesy of GiveDirectly."

"Having the dairy cow in my homestead has brought a difference in my life. In a few months to come, I will be getting plenty of milk and start supplying to markets and neighbors and generate an income. Also, my family will enjoy the milk and it will be a surplus to their daily meals."

"My life is completely different because I now have some livestock in my homestead. I settled in keeping them because they reproduce faster and this gives hope that they will multiply within a short period. These are now the living assets that I will always depend on just in case of any emergency that may arise. If it were not for GD coming to my village I don't think if I would be owning them for now."

"My life is currently different after receiving the transfer because I managed to renovate my house and it's now permanent. I have been living in a cracked muddy walled house for all those years and I never had peace because I was so sure someday it would collapse. Also, the pair of oxen that I am now owning will help me in my agricultural activities, I will no longer be hiring from friends as I used to do."

"My life is now so different in so many ways that I can mentions and I am so proud, courtesy of GiveDirectly. I managed to pay school fees for my children in time. I also have some new mattresses for my family. These were to replace the old ones that we have been using for all those years causing some backpains. Lastly, the pair of oxen that I now own will also help in the farming activities. It is a relief too,e because I have been hiring from friends and it was expensive. I will also hire them for my friends and generate an income."

"The fact that I managed to clear the huge school fees balance for my children makes the biggest difference in my life. This is because I have been struggling as a widow to make sure they get food a well as getting their school. It reached a point I could not afford to raise the fees and they were forced to stay home and this affected their academic performance. I am glad the financial support from GD enabled me to send them back again to school. Also, the pair of oxen that I now own has made my farming activities much easier because I have been using my own hands all those years and it was tiring with low harvesting products. It is now a major relief to me and for my family at large."
