"With the plans we have for plastering the outer part of the house and painting the entire house once the plastering is done, I hope that in the next six months, there will be a total change in the general look of the house. I am more excited about the fact that I will no longer worry about having to smear the house using mud and cow dung to keep it neat as the plastering will take care of that."

"I felt happy when I received the news from my son that money had reached my phone. I ululated and I feel proud because the construction process of my house has kick started."

"I felt happy when I received the transfer. It was my prayer that I also get land where I can build my home. I thank God for answering my prayer through GiveDirectly."

"The moment I received the transfer happiness filled my heart. I felt relieved and I took enough bed rest."

"The moment I received the money, I became so happy and first thing I did was to kneel down and thank God for this kind of opportunity."

"The moment I received this transfer I felt happy, It was my first time to get such a big amount of money. I huged my husband with joy and we prayed together."

"When I receive this money, I will build a house for my children because the one we are currently occupying is small and congested. I will also pay for my children's school fees because they were recently sent home for school fees. I will also buy household items like beddings and utensils."

"As a household, we don't have enough land for agriculture. We do rent agricultural land and sometimes use the small homestead plots which affects our yields. So, when we get this money, we shall buy some piece of land to expand the agricultural fields so that we get better outputs. We shall also buy a cow that will provide us with milk for domestic consumption. If there is any balance, we shall buy household items like beddings, clothes, furniture and utensils."

"My life will have changed in the next six months because I will have started my Diploma course, the desire of my heart. I will also be having an income from the chickens and I will be expecting another income form the maize farm that I am planning to plant before this months end. It only takes about 6 months to mature giving me more form the investments that I make using the transfers form Give Directly."

"In the next six months, I will have mastered the trade of keeping poultry. The income from the project will help me to invest more in maize farming for food in my household. These two investments including owning livestock will have empowered me financially. Meeting the household needs and those of mine will be easier and better done during the next six months and beyond."
