"My life has changed because I'm now sleeping in well ventilated house with enough fresh air. I have also repossessed my Agricultural land which I have cultivated in g- nuts. Before these transfers, I slept in congested house which had poor ventilation and I could just rent the farm land."

"My life has changed because through these cash transfers, I have been able to build a permanent house and acquire Livestock ( an ox). I plan to agree with someone who also has an ox so that we put them together and plough shifts. Previously, I slept in a leaking thatched house and I could not afford to hire oxen to plough my farm land."

"The cash transfers offloaded the debt burden that I had. More so, we paid our children's school fees. This was a very bug challenge to us. We did not have any income generating activity besides agriculture which was unpredictable. I can only appreciate GiveDirectly for the cash transfers and my prayer is that may GiveDirectly live forever."

"My life is much better and comfortable. I have transformed from sleeping on the floor to sleeping on a comfortable bed. I have also acquired a plot of land . These could have been impossible to achieve with in a short period of time. I appreciate GiveDirectly for the cash transfers."

"My life has changed alot because I was able to settle medical bills and also acquire an ox for ploughing. More so, I can now communicate easily with my relatives. Previously, I had no personal phone which was a big challenge to me."

"The cash transfers transformed our lives for example we purchased a motorcycle that earns income for the family. In addition to this, I was able to access better medical treatment. We also hired a piece of farm land that will increase our food supply. I am very happy because all these achievements would not have been possible without GiveDirectly."

"I expect to be the envy of the entire village as by then my house would be completely plastered. My children will also be glad to live in the house as they would have fewer cases of colds and flu."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that my son will have joined university so that he can further his studies. With this, I will be a fulfilled parent knowing that he is soon going to achieve his life dreams. My only concentration will be to ensure that my family feeds well and that my son at school has enough money to use in buying food."

"I want to start operating a play station business which will generate some income for me going into the future. According to the research I have done so far, I was able to establish that I need a total of around 40000 KES to launch the business. With time, I am sure I will be able to have this business up and running."

"In the next six months, I would like to ensure I give my best as save to boost my foodstuff business which is my main source of income. It has not been doing well and I fear it might collapse anytime and before that happens, I would want to invest more in it."
