"In the next six months, I plan to use the transfers to boost my business with the aim of stabilising it. Every month, I will take part of my transfers to add more stock to the business. My goal is to make the business stable so that I can no longer rely on the transfers to boost the business. I want to get to a poiunt5 where the business alone will generate enough income to sustain it as well as catering for my family needs. I would not want to go back to the struggles I used to have before the transfers."

"My life is currently different because through this money , I have managed to buy enough building materials in order to build a new house to live with my family. Raising school fees for my children was also a problem. I couldn't pay for them on time and they were frequently sent home because of this. I am grateful because I have paid for them on time and they were allowed back to school. I also have a pair of oxen to help me in doing farming for a better harvest. I used to hire from neighbours during the planting season. I am glad that I won't be hiring from anyone, instead I will be hiring to them at a fee."

"My life is different in that I now live in a decent iron roofed house unlike before when I was sheltering in a grass thatched house. I also own a pair of oxen which as a farmer, it will greatly help me in doing my farming timely. I used to hire from neighbours during the planting season but I am glad that I won't hire, instead, I will hire to them at a fee hence getting an income."

"My life is different because initially I did not have any livestock in my compound. I am happy that through the money from GiveDirectly, I now own a pair of oxen, a cow and six goats which I am keeping in my homestead. These are living assets to me which I can readily rely on in case of a financial needs. It's also a saving for the future of my children's education."

"My life is currently different because I now boast of owning livestock, three cows and a pair of oxen. I am expecting the cows to reproduce and increase in number, they will help me in raising finances in future in case of a dire financial need. The pair of oxen will help me in doing my farming timely for better harvest."

"I have been operating a shop that has not been doing well since it started. I was only selling some fast moving goods only. The income was not that good, however, I am now getting a good income having added stock through the money. I also built a house for my children since they were seeking shelter from the neighborhood at night. I am glad that they now have a good place to live in."

"I was previously living in a grass thatched house for many years with no hope of upgrading to a better house. I am now living in an iron roofed house. Also, I have enrolled my son to a college. He would have stayed at home for months since I couldn't raise the tuition fee were it not for this financial help. He is now studying well through this money."

"My life will be different in the next six months in that I will have finished the tailoring course and started my own business. After clearing the training fees, I plan to start a small savings account where I will be saving my transfers so that I can buy my own sewing machine. When I will have bought my machine, then I will be able to start my own tailoring business. I know through the business, I will get a regular income which will be able to sustain my needs in the future long after the transfers are over. I would not want to go back to casual work as it was the case before the transfers."

"My life will be different in the next six months because I will be having my own cows. This is a dream I gave up on long ago because, in my own ways, I could not manage to raise money to buy a cow unless I had to sell a piece of land which I was not ready to do. Since I started receiving my transfers from GD and I have already managed to buy three sheep, I will add tow more and then exchange the sheep for a cow. I am determined in buying a cow because when the cow reproduces, not only will the number I have increase, I will also have milk for family consumption and even sell the rest to an extra income which will be a boost in handling family needs. Anytime I have any financial emergency, I can also sell some to raise money for the emergency without taking a loan or borrowing."

"After finishing the loan I have been paying with my transfers, my wife who has been jobless because she did not get to college joined college. And once again, the transfers have been helpful because they have been the fees for her as we join up our transfers on a monthly basis. Therefore in the next six months, I know, together with my wife's transfers, we will have cleared her college fees and she will have a humble time to study in peace without worrying about fees. She is currently training to be a teacher and in the next six months, she will have finished the course courtesy of GD transfers."
