"My life has changed because the transfer I got has uplifted me. This is in form of the land I got to farm on and the one I will use until my money paid back. Prior to getting this transfer, I had no land to farm. The only land I have is where my house is and I always had to hire farm land on which I had to cultivate."

"In the next six months, I expect to have built a new house. Even though it won't be a luxurious one, it will be more comfortable to relax and live in. I plan to start a poultry farm also. They will help me a lot since I can decide to sell a few to cater for emergencies. Apart from that, I also expect a bumper harvest since I used certified seeds and fertilizers. My dairy cow is also almost calving so I expect some income from the sale of milk."

"In six months’ time, I have high expectation that I will have bought a cow which will serve the family by providing milk for use and even for sale. The long-awaited dream will have been made into reality and I hope that this will give us hope in my family to even sort out other things that are very necessary for the family."

"In the next six months, I will be financially stable in that I will have harvested the beans and sell it to earn income."

"I am very grateful that GiveDirectly sent me the cash transfers. I purchased a plot of land and even constructed a two roomed house. Previously, I was a squater on this plot and life was unpredictable and yet I have a big family that needs my support. These cash transfers have improved my standards if living. My children eat good food and dress decently."

"It is a miracle that I am still alive to this day. I dedicate my well being to God for sending GiveDirectly to come to my aid. I have been bedridden for so long and the cash transfers played a very significant role in paying all my medical bills. Though, I am still weak and sickly. I look forward to moving into my permanent house which I built with the second cash transfers."

"The cash transfers empowered me to construct a permanent house. Being a jobless widow with no income generating activity, I would not have constructed a house. It was very hard to access grass for thatching the house coupled with the termites that have eaten up the house roof."

"The cash tranfers transformed my life. I built a nice cmfortable iron roofed house and I acquired many household items that I couldnot afford before. Prior to receiving the GiveDirectly cash transfers, I was living in a tiny thatched house. This is the kind of transformation that I had never dreamed of."

"My life is much different compared to the past. I officially married my wife and we are happily living together. I also rennovated my house and it looks much comfortable and habitable."

"The cash transfers enabled us clear school fees and buy food at home. In the past, we had to toil alot through agriculture to make ends meet. Life was very hard then. GiveDirectly saved us the hustle of searching for school fees. I also plastered and completed my house. This would not have been possible considering the weight of responsibilities on my shoulders."
