"My life is currently different than it was before because I used part of my transfers to buy a modern chair which I could not imagine I would own in my life. I also bought a high-density mattress which replaced my old mattress and at the moment I sleep comfortably. Currently, I own two cows and my house is well furnished. I also own pan for cooking chapati as a result, I do not need to ask for any from a neighbour."

"My life is different in that I have two additional dairy cows that gives me enough milk to sell. This has supported us in paying school fees for our children. My beans selling business has greatly improved and it has reduced the family feuds with my husband. I have been able to understand and support my husband whenever he needs."

"The biggest difference is that I now have sofa seats in my house. This was not the case before, I only had stools and a mat. I also take milk tea on a daily basis thanks to the cow that I bought with the transfers I received from GD. My family living standards have been improved."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that previously I was living in a house that was in bad condition. It was a leaky grass-thatched house and every time it rained, we had to always stay awake until the rain could subside. Nowadays, I am owning a new house which I stay in comfortably. All this I acquired through the financial help which I received from GiveDirectly."

"In the next six months, I expect to expand my current house. It is very small in size and it cannot provide adequate accommodation whenever I have visitors around. While increasing its size, I shall add one more room purposefully for visitors. This will save me from the shame of always taking my visitors to sleep in the neighborhood."

"In the next six months, I expect to reap a good harvest. This will positively impact my life in that I shall have adequate food. I shall, therefore, continue to focus on supporting my children's educational needs. Moreover, I shall be spending some of my wages to buy some households which I currently do not have. As a result, my life will be better than it had been since my husband passed on."

"Currently, life is better than it was because the transfers have helped me to boost my business. I have been able to generate more income from the business and life is easy and better than before. By building a new house for my mother in law, I have also earned some respect among my in-laws. She currently lives in a more spacious and comfortable house compared to the one she had at first."

"In the next six months, I would want to ensure I do not have to cook outside as I used to. It was very inconveniencing especially at night and during the rainy seasons. I want to buy building materials bit by bit until I have enough material to build a new kitchen."

"In the next six months, I expect to have built some good savings towards raising college fee for my daughter who will be through with her secondary education by the end of this year. This will give me an easy time because I shall not be required to do more casual jobs to raise her fee when she will be through with her secondary education."

"In the next six months, I would want to buy a cow. It is my dream which I see myself accomplishing. I would not want to go back to where I was before the transfers. I want to be independent and give my children a bright future."
