"In the next six months, I believe that my child will have received treatment and will be well like other normal children. This will make me happy as a parent because she will never feel isolated from her peers. I normally get hurt when I see other children avoiding her. They usually don't want to play with her and it breaks me to the core. It had started affecting her self esteem which was not a good thing at all. For her to regain her posture is the greatest difference in my life"

"If I could not have received the money from give directly I could not have managed to plant rice in one hectare of land that I have never done in my life. I am very sure once I started harvesting them, my life will definitely change because I am sure I will get enough money out of it and spend the money to catter for my family needs. "

"If I would not receive money from Give directly I could not have managed to buy motorcycle and I could still be operating somebody else motorcycle which was not profitable. But now I am happy I have my own motorcycle that I operate the way I want and getting enough money to take care of my family."

"This financial support has enabled me acquire a cow that will help me address any need that will arise unlike before when I didn't have anything asset to look up to incase of any problem. In addition, I bought construction materials that I am planning to use for constructing a bigger house for my family members. I intend to start with the construction immediately when the dry season starts."

"I am current using a torch at night for light which is expensive to maintain because the dry cells need to be replaced. However, the GiveDirectly's cash has made it possible for my to acquire a solar. When successfully installed, it's going to save me from buying dry cells weekly and its light is going to covered the whole house at once. Secondly, I was in position to acquire 5 windows at that have given me good aeration within the house unlike before when I had limited aeration because the provision for windows was blocked with bricks."

"Before receiving these transfers, I had built 3 pit latrines that the termites destroyed within a short period of time because I had used wood and with a grass thatched roofs due to limited funds. However, when I got money from GiveDirectly, I bough proper materials for building a pit latrine and it was successful built. I believe it's going to take us more than 5 years without it getting spoilt or filled up. Futher more, I bought an ox that is helping me with agriculture because I had no oxen of my own since the once I was given my sister to take care of were sold for her children's education."

"My life is different in that, I have been in position to acquire a cow that is going to help settle future needs unlike before when I didn't have a cow of my own. Secondly, I have bought iron sheets that I am planning to use for constructing a bigger house for myself.
