"My life is different in that I am very happy woman to have built an iron sheet roofed house to give me a rest from looking for roofing grass every year. Maintaining a grass thatch houses has become so costly since it's now scarce in the village. "

"My life is different than it would have been because I am very happy to have an iron sheet roofed house within a short period of time. Before, I used to sleep under a leaking grass thatched house, on top of not being so spacious and it's very difficult to find grass to roof a house nowadays. "

"My life is different in that I am happy to have built an iron sheet roofed house. Before, I used to sleep under a leaking grass thatched house but this money has relieved me from moving long distance in search of roofing grass."

"My life is different in that there's joy of hope money will be generated with chicken project I intend to start soon and this will make me financially independent. I spent all my savings before to educate children and had difficulty having money to support life."

"I spent the whole amount from my most recent transfer in buying building materials. I am intending to build a permanent house back at home. I have always been praying to God to help me get money to use in building a house. When I finally got the means to have the house built I did not hesitate. I recently bought irons sheets and timber. I am hopeful I will soon finish building the house. This will always make me comfortable visiting my inlaws since I will be having a place to lay my head on unlike before where I would sleep in the kitchen together with my inlaws children."

"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received the transfer since I now have two cows. Initially, I only depended on one source of income which was unreliable. It could not cater for most of my needs. I also could not handle emergencies without taking loans from friends and family. I am now gad since very soon I will have an alternative source of income after my cows will have started reproducing. With this, I will be able to meet most of my needs on time and avoid taking loans from people."

"I am a taxi driver and thought of starting another business in order to expand my source of income and when I received my most recent transfer, I decided to spend it to open a butchery business. I decided to venture into the butchery business since there were no butchery shops in our place. I knew the demand was high and hopefully I would succeed in it. Since most people like meat, I knew I would get enough profit. I also have already gotten some tenders from different hotels whom I supply them with meat on a daily basis. This business is doing well and I don't regret going for this idea. I thank GiveDirectly for giving me a start-up capital."

"I have been able to do a few things which have transformed my life tremendously. I have been self employed courtesy of the cash I got from the organization. Right now I plan my own schedule and I only work when I think I need to be at work rather than working to fulfill the employers needs."

"My life is diferent in that I have started an income generating activity of raring poultry and making shoes. This business will keep me busy as I will be self employed. It will also help me to educate and create jobs for a few people in my community in the near future after it florishes hence, fulfilling my dream of helping some people who are unable to help themselves. Before getting transfers, I used to mend shoes and raising money to sustain my family was very difficult. I was a mere barber. "

"Being able to aquire a complete set of ox plough as made a difference in my life. This is because as of now, I will have timely farming, save from hiring oxen, and cultivate on large scale. This will improve and increase on the food production in my family. Before, I had to hire oxen, and had late farming which would reasult to poor harvest as the season people come to cultivate for me meets the wrong time of farming. The mere fact that I have money now has changed my life. This is so as I can buy anything that desire. For example in terms of feeding, my family and I can change diet. This was not the case before. We used to almost feed on the same food for the longest time possible and a balance diet was never considered."
