"I have been wishing to buy livestock such as sheep or goats using GD transfers as a souvenir or a reminder of GD's impact in our lives later when the project is over. This is also a way of starting on livestock rearing that can someday be turned into something bigger when they reproduce and fetch enough money for any desired projects. This, however, has not been possible because most of my transfers have always been channelled on school fee payment sparing nothing for any extra expenditures. My hope is that within the next few months, I will be able to spare some of the transfers to achieve this dream before the transfers are over."

"Currently, I have a goal of starting up a business so that I can have an additional source of income. In the next six months of my life, I'm planning to use the transfers that I'll be receiving to boost the business I am currently doing and I believe that by then the business will have grown. I will use some of the profits from this business to start another one. I believe in self-employment because one is always in control. I believe I will be able to achieve this goal because I have enough support from Give Directly"

"I don't expect any other change because I am still using my transfer on paying school fees for my children. I would not want them being sent home as before and want to make a difference in their education by paying their fees in time."

"I have not yet managed to construct a shop to sell my products and am still using my house as the shop because they are not much and they still comfortably fit in my house. I expect that in the next six months, the business will have grown and produced enough profits to allow me to construct a shop in a more visible area where I can have more customers."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is a peace of mind knowing that I have livestock to support life, which I didn't before."

"My life is different than it would have been because I have been able to feed better, which was not possible before I received these transfers. In addition, my house is looking better with cemented floor unlike before where I used cowdung to keep it from being dusty."

"My life is now different in that, I have cultivated more food this season than ever. Before, I had no money to rent land for agriculture."

"My life has changed in that, I own livestock and soon starting my own business. Previously, I didn't have money to buy livestock to use for marrying my wife and had no source of income. But with the new business I'm soon opening, I will be able to generate daily income for meeting the needs of the family."

"(edited) I want to buy building materials such as sand and cement which I want to use in plastering my house. I do not have the energy to smear every month as I used to. I would want to focus my energy on other family income generating activities."

"I hope that in the next six months I will have constructed my own house so that I can be free to marry because as it is, am still living in my parent's house which I cannot have my wife sleep in as it is a taboo in my culture. Having my own house will also take away the current shame I am facing living in my parents' house at my age."
