"The transfer enabled me to build a new iron roofed house to live in with my family. Were it not the transfer, then I would still be living in my old grass thatched house with no hope of upgrading to a better house. I also have livestock , a cow and three goats. I know these livestock will reproduce and have many of them. To me they are living assets and my financial security. I can sell the offspring to cater for my future financial needs."

"My life is currently different because through this this money, I renovated my house to be a permanent one. I also acquired some livestock which I am keeping and are my assets and financial security for future financial needs. I am also having a solar panel that provides lighting in my household that I acquired through this transfer.Besides providing lighting, I can charge my phone and those of my neighbours at a fee, thus getting an income."

"Had it not been this transfer from GiveDirectly, then I would still be begging my neighbours for shelter. My life is currently different because I can access to a good shelter after many years of trouble. I also have a pair of oxen that I believe it will greatly help me in doing my farming timely and early preparations for an increased harvest. I recently got a good harvest since I ploughed my whole acreage, which was difficult before since hiring oxen was expensive."

"My life is currently different because, before the coming of GiveDirectly, I did not own any livestock in my compound. Currently, I have ten goats and three heifers which I am currently rearing in my homestead. I am expecting them to reproduce and have many of them. They are a living assets to me as well as financial security for the future of my children's education."

"For many years, I was always planning to build an iron roofed house since I was living in a grass thatched hut. However,I lacked the financial resources to buy the necessary building materials until GiveDirectly came to enrol me into their program, that's when I accomplished this. I built the house which I am currently living in with my family. I also have cows as assets to me, which can help me in case of a dire financial need."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not because received the transfers because I have been able to expand my dairy project. Due to this, the income from this project will be enough for me to use in meeting our daily basic needs. "

"My life is different than how it would have been since I have been able to cement my house. Due to this, there's less accumulation of dust inside hence my clothes no longer get dirty easily after washing them. Also, dusting of this house has been made easier and faster."

"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 son on time. Due to this, he was able to sit for his examinations. Also, I now own some assets that I can depend on in case of an emergency."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to build a spacious house for my family. I would not have been able to do this on my own since it had taken me years since I demolished my previous house and I had not even managed to build a kitchen."

"My life is different that how if would have been had I not received the transfer because I now have a spacious house that can accommodate us comfortably. Previously, I had no privacy as all as we used to sleep in the same room with the children but I am glad because this is not the case anymore."
