"Had it not been the coming of GiveDirectly to me, then I wouldn't have been able to built a new iron roofed house since I did not have any resources to accomplish this. Also, I now have a pair of oxen which will greatly help me in ploughing my farm. I used to hire from neighbours, but currently I will no longer be hiring from them, instead I will hire to them at a fee. My children also are comfortably in school having cleared fee arrears through this support from GiveDirectly."

"The biggest difference n my life is that now I got enough space to do my farming."

"The biggest difference in my life is the burden of paying school fees which I had was eased. I spent part of my transfers to pay school fees. Again, I bought a dairy cow which replaces one which I had sold. Am now living a happy live having paid school fees for my child."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to transform my house into a semipermanent one. Due to this, my wife will not be applying mud on the walls anymore. Also, my heart is now settled as I know that the house we are currently living in is more durable compared to the previous one."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to pay school fees for my children. Due to this, my children have been able to continue with their education after I had thought that some will have to drop out so that I would concentrate on a few."

"My life is different than his it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to build a spacious house that can accommodate us comfortably. In addition to this, I now have some seats that I did not have before. Due to this, anyone who visits can sit comfortably in my house unlike before."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I nit received the transfer because I am about to cement my house. This will make it more permanent and cleaning will have been made easier. Also, I am a proud owner of a dairy cow. I believe that it will be calving very soon and my family will always have enough milk for consumption and sale."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I am one step a head in life. First I have been able to build a spacious house for my family that can accommodate us comfortably. Also, I own an asset that I can rely on in case of a financial crisis. All this would have taken ages for me to accomplish had it not have been for GiveDirectly."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because In am every busy and I do not depend on my husband for everything. This is because I have been using the profits from our shop and maize shelling business to meet some of our daily basic needs. Due to this, my spouse has been able to save some money monthly and we will invest this savings in our children's education."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to clear school fees arrears for my son. Due to this, he has been able to continue with his education without any interruptions. My children have a new set of school uniforms and this has made them happier and more motivated to work harder in school."
