"I expect in the next six months I shall have saved enough resources in order to buy a new water tank that will change my life if all goes well. This will act as a reservoir for use during dry seasons. Having the capability of harvesting clean rainwater for my family's consumption will be among the biggest decisions I shall have accomplished through GiveDirectly's transfers."

"Through this finacial support, I was able to complete my daughter's tuition and off set all the previous tuition balance that she had. She is currently a qualified nurse and has got an employment. I now living a happy life because my girl earns salary that helping both herself and me. Had I not recieved these transfers, my daughter wouldn't have completed her nursing course because she had an outstanding debt for the previous semester and I had failed to raise money for her final semester."

"Previously, I slept in a grass thatched hut that leaked whenever it rained. When I got my first transfer, I bought construction materials(bricks, sand, aggregate, cement) and paid partly construction labour since the construction had started. After recieving my second transfer, I bought iron sheets, timber, nails, a door, window and completed money for labour. I am now sleeping in my new house which has relieved me from the leaking hut."

"My life has changed in that, I have owned 3 cows which will help me in future and some will be paid as dowary for my son's wife to be. Secondly, I have started up a retail shop in my home that generates money for my family's daily needs. Before receiving these transfers, I didn't have enough money to buy cows and start up a shop."

"My life is different in that, I have got 2 pieces of land that I intend to plant crops to sell for my children's education. Furthermore, I was able to pay my children's school fees in time which has given my a piece of mind. Prior to receiving this cash, I didn't have hope of getting money to pay off the debt and get an additional piece of land."

"I have constructed an iron roofed house that is left with fitting doors and windows. Once my house is complete, I will be relieved from the burden of looking for grass for renovating my current hut."

"My life is different in that, I have been in position to plaster, fit metalic doors and windows in my house that has made me very happy. Secondly, I now have an ox that will help me plough my farm land in time. Previously, I used hand tools that made me plant crops on a small portion of land and I didn't have enough money to buy construction materials for plastering, fitting better doors and windows in my house."

"Before receiving these transfers, I had only one mattress that we shared with our chidren and I never had cow of my own. Having recieved these unconditional cash transfers, I bought a seperate mattress for me and my spouse that has given us comfortable night sleep. In addition, I acquired a cow that is going to help me with my children's future education."

"My expectation in the next six months is to cement my kitchen. I am tired of repairing it every now and then. I also fear that if I continue exposing my self to the dust from the mud-walled house, we could get sick. Cemented houses are also easy to clean and maintain compared to the mud-walled houses."

"My expectation in the next six months is to have a cosmetic shop. I am planning to save more so that I can be able to start this business. If all goes well, I will expand it and include other items such as shoes and clothes so as to attract more customers. This will ensure that I get more profits which will guarantee me a steady life."
