"The biggest change in my life is that I now own cows that are like a saving to me for future use, I can sell the cows incase I get an agent need for money. Before, I had only land as my asset and I kept on putting it as security when ever I borrowed money. This meant that I would have a mall piece of land to cultivate."

"I am feeling better because I got treatment with this transfer. Much as I am still sick, my condition has improved. I feel good each time I look at the wall that I raised with the GivDirectly money and I know my complete happiness will come when I shift to sleep in my new house after construction. Currently, I am sleeping in a hut with an open leaky roof, I am disturbed by the termites, rats and birds that come to eat termites. I can not wait to shift to my new house."

"The big difference in my life is that I am relaxed and I have peace of mind because I have paid school fees and a debt that I had.

"I felt very excited because I got money for paying my children's school fees."

"My life has improved because I was able to acquire more utensils compared to before when I used request from neighbours. In addition, I have bought building materials for my permanent house thus I'm sure of sleeping in a permanent house. Currently, I'm still occupying a leaking thatched house."

"My life has improved because through this cash transfer, I acquired 2 bulls for ploughing my farm land. I wouldn't have managed to get this bulls because the salary I earn from being a primary teacher is not enough. Secondly, I can now afford to dress well and be presentable before the students and their parents. In the past, I could dress losuly."

"My life will soon improved after I have bought bulls for ploughing my farm land that is after getting the second transfer.I have not yet bought the bulls"
