"I had longed to build a toilet for my household but due to insufficient resources, I could not manage. We were using the bushes for open defecation because I could not access the toilet. When I received the transfer, I purchased enough building materials to facilitate this. I also paid the full cost of the labour involved. Having the toilet is the biggest difference because previously I was using the bushes which were exposing us to the risk of waterborne diseases."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a happy and contented parent. This is because my children are now studying well in school and will not be sent back home to collect school fees. Being that one of them is in his final year in secondary school education, I am hopeful that he will pass well. This will enable him to join a good tertiary institution to pursue his dream. Making sure that my children get quality education has always been my prayer since they will be able to help me in the future when I get old."

"In the six months I expect to continue staying in my nice plastered house where I am very comfortable ans staying peacefully."

"In the next six months I expect to have saved enough money and bought plastering materials and plastered the whole house and staying in a comfortably house."

"In the next six months I expect to have saved enough money and expanded my house hence l will be staying in a nice spacious comfortable house once I completed extending my house."

"In the next six months, I expect to have completed the delevopment of the new plot. I am saving a lot from the milk production currently and with the monthly transfer, I am sure I will have gathered enough money to raise a nice structure in the plot in the next six months."

"In the next six months, I expect to have picked the poultry farming since the construction of the poultry house is now complete and also the vegetable production will be running. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that through the transfer, I cleared school fees for my son who is in high school. He had been sent home for some weeks ago before the transfers were sent and I could not raise the amount that had accumulated for several terms. I am happy that GiveDirectly came to my aid, by giving us the unconditional transfers. I feel good knowing that he will comfortably continue with his studies without any interruptions."

"I was woken up by the message alert early in the morning. I could not hold the joy that filled my heart instantly upon confirming that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I was left sleepless thus could not wait for daybreak to plan. I immediately planned the completion of my house renovation and payment of my children fee since these were the major challenging needs. I was thankful to them having received this financial help that would change my life completely."

"In the next six months, I hope to build a kitchen for my household. This will be of great help as my children will also get a room to spend in during the night."
