"In the next six months, we have plans of continuing to take part in the merry go round and save up enough money with an intention to buy land. It is through this savings plan that I will be able to achieve this goal. The current piece of land that we are staying in currently is small. We can hardly do farming and my kids have to go to my neighbor's homestead whenever they want to play. I can't wait to buy land so that I can start my farming activities and improve the general wellbeing of my family."

"My life has greatly changed and it is currently different after receiving my transfers since I have built a decent spacious house. I now live in a decent iron-roofed house which has boosted my self-esteem in society and given me better comfort. This is a dream that I could not have fulfilled at my own cost. I feel it dawned at an older age. I had for long wished to live in a decent house but my overwhelming family needs never gave me a chance to build one. My house got older and older thus started cracking and weak a situation that was becoming uncomfortable for me. With my age, I lost hope of building a decent house but I thank GiveDirectly since they made it possible for me."

"I spent a larger portion of my fist transfer on buying a motorcycle. This has been my dream for a long time, however, I could not afford to purchase it since I didn't have the means to do so. I purposely bought it for a business. My son has been jobless for quite some time and I feel good this motorcycle has provided a source of income for his family. I spent the remaining amount of money to start another business of selling fish from door to door. The business picked after a few weeks after initiating it. I settled in starting this business because fish are in high demand since it is the staple food in this region. The drought that came in recently increased the demand because vegetables can't grow with the extreme weather condition"

"The biggest difference in my daily is that I have built a decent spacious house. We lived in a small house as a family and our comfort was slowly wearing out because of the size of our house. My children didn't have a good place to carry on their private studies due to a lot of disturbances. My resources are limited thus meeting family daily basic is too overwhelming to remain with some to build a house. Currently, my children have a good place to sleep and to do their private studies without any disturbances. I no longer shy away when I have visitors because I have a decent house and enough space to host them unlike before. I am so much grateful for the support from GiveDirectly because it has greatly changed my family living standards."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying materials such as some iron sheets, building poles, nails, timber. This was for the purpose of constructing a new house because the previous was not spacious and its condition was not a good state. It's now about 20 years ago when I got married and I have never enjoyed my marriage life because of the condition of the house. I felt embarrassed whenever someone pays me a visit because of the poverty that had stricken my household. I then paid school fees for my children who are a secondary school, I had to pay i n advance to avoid them being sent home to collect school fees. The remaining amount of money I bought enough foodstuffs for my family and some other households such as a table and chairs."

"Having the cow has brought the biggest difference in my daily life. I settled in keeping it in my compound because I knew I would achieve a lot. I will be getting some manure which will improve the soil fertility of my farm, leading to good harvesting products. previously I used to but the fertilizers which were costly, sometimes I could not afford it. Thus resulted in low products because the soil was not fertile. Secondly, I will be getting fr free which I will be getting milk for my family consumption and also sell the remaining liters to my neighbors. The money that I will be getting will help me in sorting ou any emergency that may occur and meet my daily household expenses."

"Having dairy cows makes the biggest difference in my daily life. This is because I know I can readily depend on them just in case of any emergency. Since my son is still in primary school next year he will be joining form secondary school, My plan is tin sell the milk that I will be getting and save the money for him so that he can join school when the time comes. I believe this will uplift my living standard and I will also be able to cater to any other need in my homestead from the money that I will be acquiring from the sale of milk."

"Having my own dairy cow makes the biggest difference in my daily life. It has always been my desire to rear them in my homestead but I could not afford to buy them because of my financial status. I believe in the next few months I will be able to get some free milk which I will start selling the milk to the local market and then invest in the money so that I can another project like starting a business. I believe from that point I will have stabilized my income and I will be able to sort out any financial crisis that may occur. Paying school fees for my children will also be much easier."

"I spent part of my first transfer on paying school fees for my son who is in secondary school. He has been staying home for a whole term and he missed some very important exams. This issue was very stressing both of us because. I also bought some building materials such as building poles, some iron sheets, and timber. This was for the purpose of constructing a new house for my children, I then bought gats as my assets. The amount of money that that remained, I bought some foodstuffs for my family."

"The water problem that we have been having for quite sometime now was finally solved after we were able to fully purchase a water tank. The money that was injected into our business has already bore fruits and we are making much more bigger profits than we made before receiving GiveDirectly transfers. This is the biggest difference in my daily life that has come about because of this transfer."
