"Upon receiving my recent transfers, I bought cooking pots and a second hand bed. This will help me during cooking and also I will stop sleeping on the floor which was very uncomfortable and unbearable. I used to wake up so tired than the way I retired to bed the previous night."

"The GiveDirectly cash transfers have a put a smile on my face. I am very happy because I acquired an oxplough and hired farming land. I intend to increase my food crop production yields this season. In the past, I could not afford to purchase an oxplough nor hire additional farmlands. I am very happy that GiveDirectly has made my life very comfortable. I can afford to buy my children basic necessities."

"My life is much different in that I was able to complete the construction of my three classroom block. My students are now happy and studying very well. In the past, I only had one block and other pupils would always study under mango trees. This was affecting their concentration. I am very grateful that the GiveDirectly cash transfers hav saved me from incurring debts and loans."

"When I received my recent transfers, I paid my school fees arrears to enable me resume my classes. The reaming amount I paid rent for the entire semester, l bought food for my household and kept aside some amount for transport and other personal effects."

"Currently, my life has been made much more better than it used to be. I no longer do odd jobs to earn a living, I have been able to start my own business where I sell ladies hand bags and sandals. So far it has been good."

"When I received my recent transfer, I paid my school fees and the remaining amount I spent on household expenditure as well as paid my house rent. This has been my major struggle but thanks to GD I can attend all my classes."

"In the next six months, my poultry farming will have been well established. This means that I will have completed the poultry house and will have so many chickens to use as a source of income. Having a source of income will ensure proper supply of daily needs. I expect to be generating an income constantly from egg production."

"My life is different because I no longer fetch water from the river which is located several kilometres away from where I live. I used to strain a lot by walking for long distances before getting tot the only source of water we had around. Moreover, I am so proud of owning this solar powered panel that I purchased using GDs transfers. Using the solar panel is very convenient as compared to using the paraffin lamps that chocks the users and generally prove to be harmful to human beings health due to the soot emitted from such lamps."

"Currently my life is very different from how it was before. My mum is diabetic and she has frequent hospital visits. This meant that money was involved on every visit. When I received my transfers, the burden of paying the bills was reduced and made easier for me. With the business, I will be abler to settle her bills with much ease thanks to GD's support."

"My life shall change for the better in the next six moths. We are planning to move away from long term crops like maize and to the short term horticultural crops like cabbages and beans that will give us income faster and enable us have more money at our disposal and raise our families well."
