"I will have completed my tailoring course in the next six months, and I hope that I will have opened my own tailoring shop where I can earn my own money. Having my own source of income will be such a great thing to my husband and to my entire family because we will be sharing the family expenses which will greatly reduce the strain my husband is currently facing."

"In the next six months I expect to have produced up to 10000 bricks and sell them. The money got from the brick business shall help me build a new house and pay school fees much more easily than I can now."

"I mostly depend on casual jobs which are usually very rare and mostly pay very little making it hard to care of my family needs and save as well. During these times, I have not been able to make any money which made me stressed out and afraid that the landlord may lock me and my family members out of the house due to late payment because I stay in a rental house. Currently, I feel my life is different in that this transfer has really come in handy since it has covered a huge part in financing the buying of building materials which I am planning to use in the construction of a new house in my homestead which will relieve me from the burden of paying monthly rent."

This is definitely a priority to me since there is nothing that could make me more happier than to give the best in terms of education to my children. I am looking forward to doing this."

"Due to lack of employment, i have been forced to work as a casual labourer miles away from home in someone's farm. This has been a great challenge since i got married two months ago and my wish has always been to live under the same roof with my wife in order to avoid loneliness. I usually come home one weekend in a month which i feel it aint enough time to spend with my wife and child. I however hope things will change upon receiving this money since i plan to open a shop in the nearby shopping centre and operate in it myself."

"My life is different than it would have been because we built an iron sheet roofed house and sleep without the inconvenience of a leaking grass thatched house, having acquired livestock, future money problems can be solved when these are sold. Before, we used to sleep under a leaky grass thatched house causing children to cry when it rains at night, and there was nothing to look after as an asset in the home like we now have cows."

"Life is different in that I now sleep in an iron sheet roofed house, and GiveDirectly has enabled acquire a cow that will reproduce to give me money if sold. Before, I used to sleep under a leaking grass thatched house which would be an inconvenience when it rains and didn't have any asset of my own."

"My life is different than it would have been because I am happy to have cultivation land to grow food crops, livestock, better sleeping on a bed with a mattress, better feeding on time, and my ailing children received better treatment from hospital, all thanks to these transfers. Before, I used to sleep on the floor with a mat where black ants would bite, feeding was irregular at home, and I could have lost one of the children to ailment if I had not received this money, and I wouldn't get that opportunity to have a mobile phone in my home in a life time. "

"Life is different than it would have been because I have land to cultivate, a bull to sell incase of money crisis at home, and I sleep better with a mattress.
