"My life is different than it would have been because I am happy to be able to afford food, household items like mattress, pay hospital bills. This was not possible without GiveDirectly money because it wasn't easy to have two meals in a day or even get medical treatment when ill. "

"My life is different in that I am happy nowadays because this money has enabling me to have livestock and chicken at home. These are necessary assets at home that can be sold to solve any financial problem emanating in future. Before, without these, I was full of stress especially when any member of the family fell sick, because you have no where to get money to meet hospital bill. "

"My life would have been very hard had I not received this transfers. First and moremost my children would not have returned to school because I didn't have money to pay their fees. Secondly I and the children would still be sleeping on the floor and old mattresses. Lastly I did not have any hope to construct a iron roofed house. Currently my life is different in that we're all sleep on beds and new mattresses. I managed to purchase some livestock and lastly I'm planning to put up a iron roofed house with the money I have saved from my last transfer. I would like to send my gratitude to GiveDirectly for having uplifted my standards of living."

"My life is better now in that, the livestock I bought will reproduce in future and I will be able to sell and acquire land since I still live at my parent's home. Previously I never had any livestock that I call my own and ploughing was so hard to the extent that I used to hire labour. "

"My life has changed apparently in that, I have a peace of mind because I have bought household items especially beddings, utensils and I was able to change diet. Secondly I was able to complete my house by plastering and cementing the floor. Prior to receiving my transfer my house was so ugly and dusty whereby I could smear it with cowdung to curb dust. Lastly, I couldn't afford to change diet and feasted on the same meal which affected my health. This is no more because I can buy any food I desire anytime."

"Currently, my life is different because I have already procured construction materials awaiting building. I'm kindly patient because there's a lot of rain apparently therefore during summer in December I will begin building it. In addition to this, I'm glad that when I received my first transfer I needed medical attention and this money enabled me seek treatment. Otherwise if it wasn't of this money I think I could have died which I thank God for GiveDirectly."

"Apparently, my life has tremendously change in different aspects. For example I managed to add some household items that we lacking in my house like beddings especially bed, mattress and bed sheets. I also bought utensils, clothes among others. Furthermore, these money enable me build a iron roofed house that I never thought I could sleep in. Prior to receiving this money, I thought I could die without sleeping in a iron roofed house because there was no hope of constructing one. Lastly I used to sleep in a leaky grass thatched house whereby each time rain fell all my property got damaged."

"The cash transfers transformed my life. I am soon moving into a one roomed permanent house. In addition to this, I constructed another single room which will act as a retail shop. Previously, I could not carryout any of these ventures due to lack of funds."

"My life has improved alot in that I can afford three meals a day as opposed to the past when we could afford only one meal in a day. More so, my family sleeps on comfortable mattresses. We are much peaceful compared to the previous status. The cash transfers uplifted us."

"In the past, I was sleeping under a leaking grass thatched house. However, I completed and moved into a permanent house. In addition to this, I was able to acquire an ox which has made farming much easier."
