"The biggest difference in my daily is that I have built a decent spacious house for my children. We used to live in a small house as a family and our comfort was slowly wearing out because of the size of our house. My children did not have a good place to carry on their private studies due to a lot of disturbances. My resources are limited thus meeting family daily basic is too overwhelming to remain with some to build a house. Currently, my children have a good place to sleep and to do their private studies without any disturbances. I no longer shy away when I have visitors because I have a decent house and enough space to host them unlike before. I am so much grateful for the support from GiveDirectly because it has greatly changed my family living standards."

"I thank GiveDirectly for their financial support. I had lived a stressful life since I felt I was not in a position to support my family. I had nothing to own as assets in my homestead and the scarce resources could not allow me to acquire any. Having a dairy cow and clearing for my child's school fees to me is a great change in my life. I am the happiest person now since I believe that once my dairy cow will be calving soon and it will increase in number. I am assured that I will be able to sell the offsprings in the future to support my family's needs and any financial need arising such as educating my children. I will soon have milk for both sales and household consumption thus will have some money to save unlike now where I only spend."

"My new good is to start a second business. I want to start selling sweets and ice cream. It seems to be a lucrative business and the trick that I want to use is to start selling in schools around the neighborhood after asking for permission from the headteachers."

"My new goal is to continue saving so as to stabilise my business. My desire is to have a well-stocked business which will produce a good income from the profits. I believe when I stock my business well, I will be able to sell a lot which will increase my profits through income."

"My new goal is to start a business. This has been my dream and I know that I can never go wrong in doing business. I am planning to use the profit to pursue a hairdressing and beauty course which will also supplement my income in the future."

"Right now I am financially stable because of GD transfers. I have been saving part of my transfers and running a small groundnuts business. This has helped me raise money to meet our daily needs well. I no longer have to go borrowing to buy food as it was the case before the transfers. I am planning to continue investing part of my transfers in savings so that I can be able to get a good capital to start a stable business. I would want to make good use of the support I get from GD to turn around my financial life completely."

"Currently, my only goal is to continue saving for the business. I am on the right track and my goal is to have a stable business. I know through the business I will be able to earn a good income from the profits. As a result, I will be able to provide for my family well from the enhanced profits."

"When we finally have the kitchen structure in place then life will become easy because we will not have to be preparing meals in the house and keep on choking on smoke emitted from the cooking place."

"I expect to have two sheep in my compound."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a happy person. This is because I have been able to start building a spacious house which can accommodate us comfortably. Also, we can be able to enjoy our privacy at any time when it comes to completion. I am also happy because my children were able to continue with their education and sat for their end year examinations. Had it not have been for GiveDirectly, this would not have been possible and they would have to repeat their current classes next year."
