"I intend to purchase oxen and ox-plough with Givedirectly transfers. Iam currently having shortage of food and other neccessities in my household. This is because I only rely on hand hoe for cutlivation thus each seaon ,there is less produc e harvested to support our needs. These oxen will enable my household engage into ealier and large scale crop farming, hence increase in production. This will help reduce the burden of food shortages in my household."

"Receiving this means I will invest in to Educating my children. Iam mainly depending on cultivation, as results this is so much seasonal and I realise little produce to sustain paying fees. My children are performing poorly since they are always sent home frequently because of school fees. I will be able to pay thier fees in time with Givedirectly money hence a voiding the stress of them being sent home. These will make them study well hence getting brighter futures."

"In six months' time, I will have bought an extra cow making the number to two. This is a long-time investment that will play an important role in providing milk for the family. I am sure that milk will also be sold so that we can raise some money for family use. Again, milk is good for health especially for my kids. Selling milk will also mean that I have added more income to m family and therefore I will not be faced with the financial crisis."

"My skin now looks good having having bought some smearing oil that I am using. My dressing has completely changed, when I put on my new clothes people struggle to recognise me because I look different. My family members now sleep well in an iron roofed house, on a bed and mattress. Previously, my life was miserable because I could not afford many things that I desired like clothes, food, school uniforms and fees."

"My life has changed, GiveDirectly transfers have enabled me construct a spacious iron roofed house that I would have not managed to do on my own. I had brewed beer for years in order to raise money for constructing the house but all was in vain. Thank you to Give Directly."

"My life is different now, My mind is relaxed and I feel happy because I sleep in an iron roofed house. Healthwise, I am feeling better having got good medication with the transfer. Before, I was sleeping in a hut that was leaking and I could sit at night at a coner of the house when it is raining to take shelter."

"My life is better now because I have cleared a debt that has enabled me to recover the farm land which was given out as security. This transfer is also going to enable me plaster and cement my house hence making it strong and beautiful. Prior to receiving the transfer, I was hiring farm land. I used to be stressed of how I would get money to clear the debt and plaster my house since the rain was weakening the wall."

"I now sleep comfortably on a good bed, mattress and bed sheets. I have my motorbike which generates income to the family through the boda boda business. It has eased movements for the family members for example I am able to take my family members to hospital incase of sickness. Previously, I slept on a mat which was hard and uncomfortable. In addition to this, I relied on casual labor to earn a living."

"My life is different now because I have constructed an iron roofed house for the vistors. Before we got the money our visitors used to sleep in the sitting room and there was no privacy."

"My expectations for the next six months is that my life will have changed. I believe by that time that I will have completed constructing the new kitchen. The wellbeing of my family will have also improved since I will have accomplished most of my goals"
