"I expect in the next six months to have bought a dairy cow. I will be buying a heifer and continue to rear it to maturity in the aim of becoming a dairy farmer. I also expect to have completed the building of my house which will have given us enough space to live in as a family."

"I expect my life to change the next six months in that I will be having a nice and spacious house for the family and also that I will have harvested and store maize in my home. I will have a lesser daily expenditure per day as I will have the sable food in my own store."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I got medical treatment after an operation. I renovated my grass thatched house and it leaks no more. In addition to that, I constructed an Iron roofed house on my plot. I intend to rent it out to students in a near-by school and it will generate income to the family. All these achievements have been possible because of the cash transfers."

"My life has changed alot because I now have a good bed, clothes and I have constructed an iron roofed house. I used to sleep on a very old mattress that was even torn. My sister used to give me her clothes because I never had my own."

"My life has changed because I have managed to get medical attension and am feeling better. I wound't have got this treatment if I never received the transfers."

"My life has changed in that I now have hope of shifting to an iron roofed from a grass thatched leaking house. I have acquired shoes, and a matress. I used to sleep on a slim mattress which I was not confortable with on a bed."

"My life is different now because I'm no longer sickly, being a widow this money has motivated me to work harder as it is a step for me to move to another level. Am hopeful of shifting to an iron roofed house from a grass thatched once am done with the construction."

"My life has changed alot because I sleep on a comfortable mattress with nice bedsheets and I wear better clothes. I also bought a cow that provides us milk. Before then I used to sleep on a mat and I had only two pairs of clothes, I had to wash and wait for them to dry while covered with a bed sheet."

"In the next six months, I expect to buy cows. I am planning to buy a bull and a dairy cow which I will keep as my assets. Having cows will really be resourceful for my farming because I will team them up with my neighbour's bulls to help in ploughing. I will also be able to get milk from my dairy cow once it starts bearing calves."

"Give Directly has lifted my living standards. Nowadays I have piped water in my compound. This has relived my family the tedious work of walking for long distance looking for water. It has also reduced the risk of contracting water-borne disease since our personal hygiene rate has gone up because of availability of water. I am also able to irrigate my vegetables using the water. This has increased the produce generating more income to my family since I am able to sell the surplus."
