"I believe my life will be way much better in the next six months because I will have already harvested the potatoes currently in the farm. I expect a bumper harvest which will boost my income. My family wellbeing will generally improve."

"My life is different now because I was able to build myself a permanent house. This has relived me from the issue of sleeping in a leaking grass thatched house."

"My life has changed because GiveDirectly has empowered me through the transfer that I got. This is because given the time my farm lands had taken without being got back, it was next to impossible to ever get them. Before getting this money, my plan was to farm (although on hired farm land) to be able to raise money to pay back. In addition to this, I am happy that I no longer have to hire farm land but the cultivate on my own."

"Currently my family and I happy and delighted to see that I built a bigger and spacious house. In this house, we all fit in and most of the staff is stored adquately. Prior to getting this money, the single grass thatched house I had could not fully accomodate my whole family and storage of property was not proper."

"In the next six months, I will have finished constructing my house and God willing I will be planning ways of starting my own livestock business."

"Ever since I received my transfer, I have witnessed a great change in my daily life. This is because I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow just like other people in my village. When it reproduces, I will be able to earn an income through milk sales ad also save the money I would otherwise use in buying milk. I will be using the money from this dairy project to meet my daily needs. Also, it is an asset to me which will be of great help in case of a financial crisis as I can sell the heifers to get money"

"I felt so happy the moment I received my transfer. I heard my phone ring late in the night towards dawn and on checking I found out that I had just received KES 55000 from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy and I immediately got down to planning on how best I was going to use the money to reap maximum benefits. "

"Currently, my life has chanced after purchasing a plumbing machine. I am stress free and happy that I finish the assigned plumbing tasks on time which has marketed my business more meaning my income has raised to a point where I am able to meet most of my family's needs easily unlike before when I could waste time looking for a friend's machine to hire moreso losing most deals which used to sadden me alot . On the other end I am proud that I have been able to boost my spouse's retail shop business and today I appreciate the fact that she can chip in to support in providing household needs on those days I do not have money. Thanks GiveDirectly."

"In the next six months, I would be grateful to GD for having helped me to pay school fees with less struggle. I would look for another source of income. I am thinking of starting to buy some livestock so that I would resell in case of pressing financial need."

"I felt so happy the moment I received my money. It was around 4:00 am. I immediately awoke my wife and she was equally happy. We quickly got down to planning on how we were going to spend the money to bring maximum benefits. "
