"My house will be improved because It will be timber walled and the floor will be made of concrete. The expected difference is the fact that my family will be living in such a nice compound and house that I always wanted for them. I also expect to have a fully furnished house with a 7 seater sofa sets. I will be using the GivedIrectly transfers to make all these improvements."

"In the next six months of my life, I expect to have saved enough money and most likely by then I expect to have replaced the current broken door. This will make me feel more secure because I stay by the road and I find it unsafe staying in a house with a broken door."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall be self-employed through starting a grocery business at a center nearby with the saving from the merry go round group. This business will generate a daily income to finance the additional needs for my family."

"In the next six months, I would want to save part of my transfers to buy cement and sand which I will use in plastering my house. I had a dream of building a permanent house but due to low income, I am not able to. With the opportunity given to me by Give Directly, I would want to have a semi-permanent house."

"In the next six months I expect my life to change in that I shall have been able to complete my mothers house and practice diversified farming. This shall improve my living standards by a great extent and enable me make more investments in future."

"In the next six months, I would want to ensure that I pay my daughter school fees arrears so that I stop the issue of her being sent home regularly for the same. I would want her to have maximum time to study which I know will improve her performance. When she gets good grades, she will go to a good secondary school which will result in a well-paying job to help support her future."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months so much. Through the savings, I plan to buy iron sheets, pole, timber and nails to use in building a new house. I can only envision how beautiful the house will be once it is completely built. I also look forward to living in a house that I will not have to worry about the rains anymore."

"We expect more changes in our family now and in the next six months. We are making progress on the various family investments and we are so happy about this. Having managed to build a new house and bringing it into its completion, we expect that at the end of the six months we shall have bought furniture and the dairy cow that we plan to buy. This shall definitely make our lives more comfortable and give us room to think about other family investments in the future."

"I expect that in the next six months, my business will have grown to the level that I am currently picturing it to be. This will maximize my profits and give me the opportunity of buying what I need such as household items which I am seriously in need of such as decent utensils which I currently have to borrow from my neighbours whenever I have visitors."

"My life is now different because I am now owning a rental house which I had been longing to construct but since I am a widow and the little money I could get from my casual job was not enough. I was responsible for paying school fees for my children and providing their basic needs. I could not imagine I could afford to construct the rental house. In the next four months I am hoping my life will never be the same again. This is because currently, some rooms have tenants and they will be paying their rent at the end of every month. This will be my main source of income and it will boost my living standard. I will be able to pay school fees for my children without any challenges and also cater for their basic needs. I thank God for bringing GiveDirectly in my village and I am grateful to be among the beneficiaries."
