"In the next six months, I will have a good maize crop on my farm. I will also have bought another cow. I will be a happy owner of two dairy heifers and a maize plantation. This will be made possible as I continue to use the money I receive to buy another heifer and to do more on the farm"

"My life is different in that I now have a piece of land that is under my ownership. I never thought that I will one day own a piece of land like I am doing now. The piece of land that I bought has enabled me engage in other income generating activities that has helped my family a lot. It gives me much joy as well that I was able to clear school fees for my daughter in time that gave her enough time in school to study and to which she passed her form four exams and is due to join college soon. Nothing could make me any prouder than this. I will forever be indebted to GiveDirectly."

"I am now the proud owner of a house. I bought building materials i.e iron sheets, nails, timber and poles to use in building a new house. Previously, I did not have a house and this saw me sleep in my own parent's kitchen. My agemates had built their own houses but I did not have one due to meagre income I got from casual work that only bought food for my family on a daily basis. I did not have any savings plans in place to see the construction of a new house.GiveDirectly really saved from shame from mockery in my society."

"My life has just changed for the better. We now have a new house for the family and a dairy cow as well. We owned almost nothing before GiveDirectly came in. We are now proud owners of family assets such as a cow and a house to live in among other assets. My family is generally happier and this makes me so proud as a parent."

"In the next four months, I expect my family's living standard to greatly improve because I shall be having some money to cater for their basic needs. They will be taking three meals a day as well as getting other basic needs such as good shelter and nice clothes. They will thus be smart because they will be properly groomed."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I have been able to pursue a driving course. Without GiveDirectly, I would not have achieved this and I thank God for making this happen. I believe that this will help me since I will be able to secure a job using the license. Having a job will help me be able to gather for my family needs without much struggle since the pay is quite lucrative compared to what I get from doing any available odd jobs."

"I have always experienced a problem in paying my house rent and I would at times stay for a month with paying them. When I received my most recent transfer, I spent a good amount from it to pay for my four months rent in advance so that I can have ample time to look for money and be able to save some. Because I always had a passion for hairdressing, I decided to use part of my money to pay for my college fee so that I could be able to pursue a course in hairdressing and beauty. I also saved the remaining amount so that I can use them in case of an emergency so that I will not have to take a loan."

"In the six months, I expect to have started a small shop which will be bringing me some income. This will give me an opportunity to invest in other projects such as livestock farming. I also expect to buy seats to fill my living room in the next six months. I currently have a few chairs which are not in very good condition."

"I spent part of my most recent transfer to pay my house rent. I was down financially and the landlord had threatened to close my house. I must say the cash came in handy and saved me from the shame of my house being locked and being laughed at by my neighbors who think that I am not responsible. It could be so embarrassing I don't know where I would have gone. I used the remaining amount to pay school fees for my children who had been sent back home since I had not paid even a single penny as their school fees."

"I had just woken up when I got a notification that I had received the transfer. I got excited and immediately woke up my family members who were still asleep so they could join me in the celebration."
