"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months in that I will be stable in farming operations. My tea farm will be doing better. Additionally, I will have harvested maize that I planted using the money I received. I will have established my poultry-keeping too. These very many sources of income are going to come from diligent utilization n of the coming transfers."

"In the next six months, my life will have changed because I will be living in a good house. I will have also started a shop business. I intend to build it near the road on our farm. I will stock the shop using the money I am receiving from GiveDirectly. I will be getting an income from the shop and living in a nice home."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have more milk from the additional cow both for household consumption as well as sell the surplus. Apart from that, I will also get more income from the additional crops and vegetables that I planted this season. I already have a plan of what to do with the additional income I will get from these projects. With all these plans definitely my life will not be the same."

"In the next six months, my expectations will be to have completed accumulating the savings we are currently working on. This means we will have bought a good breed of a cow that we are working towards at the moment."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months because I will have increased my sources of income. My living standards will have improved because of the various investments I have done so far. I will not only getting income from my construction job but also from the hardware and my farm as well. This will enable me to comfortably meet my household needs. I attribute all these to Give Directly. I couldn't have done all these development moves without their help. May they never lack so that they continue helping other needy people like me"

"It was around 6 am when I was preparing my children for school when I heard my phone ringing. I quickly checked what the notification was all about, I confirmed it was from GD they had sent my first transfer as they had promised earlier. I was so happy and grateful. I knew all my desires are now achievable."

"My husband died immediately I was married almost 15 years ago and I turned to be the sole breadwinner for the family. Despite having been adopted as a third wife, I am still assuming the role of providing the basic needs for my children. Charcoal burning as my source of income is the only work that I have known in my life and this work is usually exhaustive and it drains much of my energy. Imagine spending the whole week preparing the charcoal and the income is utmost $4 per sack!! This is something that is so discouraging but since I do not have any other option, this remains to be my reliable source of income and therefore, I consider lack of a decent and reliable work being the biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life."

"Having the goats has made my life to be so different in many ways. First, some have started reproducing and I believe they will increase in number at a high rate. I also believe I will no longer have some issues like delaying school fees payment, providing daily meals for my children and, many more. I will sell some of the offsprings and send my children to school and I believe my children will now be having some good performance. To add on that, my wish is when the goats multiply, I will exchange some for a dairy cow. This has always been my wish but because the cows are expensive I had to start with the goats. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly."

"My next goal in the next six months is to boost my fish business. I also have a canteen that I need to upgrade by adding a variety of goods depending on the demand of my customers. Since they are my major source of livelihood, I believe once I expand them and manage them well, my living standards will definitely improve. I will still be able to maintain the living standards I had acquired when Give Directly came into my life"

"In the next six months, I believe that I will be living a better life. I know I will now be at the same level as the rest of my villagers. I am not trying to compete with them but it feels bad to be always the odd one out in everything. I thank God Give Directly brought me to improve my living standards. Having our children study peacefully and being able to afford food would assure us humble time to do other income-generating activities."
