"My life has improved because I have built 3 roomed permanent house which is specious for me and the children. Before the transfer, I used to suffer looking for grass to renovate my thatched house. In addition, I have a peaceful mind because I cleared all the debts I had. In past, I had a lot of stress because I could not off set them."

"My life has totally changed in that, I no longer sleep in a leaking thatched house because I built a permanent one. I never had the money before to construct a permanent structure."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is being able to enter into my completed iron roofed house. This has given me joy and a peace of mind as the house I used to sleep in was in total bad shape. All the grass had worn out and I had no money to ever renovate it."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt too happy and relieved because I had so many pressing challenges yet there was no money."

"This transfer has greatly changed my life because I was able to build a permanent house. In the past, due to the severe poverty I experienced; I wasn't able to build one. In addition, the thatched house I live in used to leak whenever it rained hence making such nights unbearable since I had to stand all night as long as it rained."

"My life is different now in that, I have managed to acquire a piece of land that will help me plant, cultivated and harvest heavily. When I get a good harvest, I will be able to feed my household and sale surplus in order to buy things I do not have in my household. Prior to getting money from GiveDirectly, I used to farm on a very small piece of land that could not produce enough food to cater for the well-being of my family. This meant that before the next planting season, we could run short of food to feed on and resort to casual work in order to buy food. I also used to hire land to farm on which was so expensive and I could do casual work in order to raise finances for hiring land."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt happiness in my heart because my help had finally come."

"I have managed to enrol for a course on fashion and design which has been my dream ever since I was young, all thanks to GD transfers. Before GD came enrolled me into the program, I was only working as a househelp which I opted for after completing my high school because my mother could not afford to raise money for my college fees. I am very happy now because I am taking a course that will change my life as it will give a stable and decent income. These transfers have also enabled me to assist my mother with payment of my sister's school fees and reduced the overall burden she has all which would not be possible without GD."

"My life has greatly improved in that, I built a permanent house. It was difficult for me to afford the thatch material previously. This is because of it being very expensive and I didn't have money to buy it. On top of that, the grass thatched house I sleep in is too small to accommodate my whole family."

"My life is different in that, I have owned 5 cow and agriculture which is the main source food and income has been made easier with the oxen I acquired. Before receiving this transfer, I didn't have any cow and I hired oxen for ploughing my land that often delayed planting since the oxen were not available in time which resulted to low yields."
