"The biggest difference in my life is that, I'm able to do things I wasn't able to before receiving this transfer. For example I was able to pay my children's schools immediately I received the money, I was also able to resume the construction of my house which a grate achievement in my daily life."

"My life has changed in that, I have a stress free mind because I paid my children's tuition and bought livestock. Before, I used to sell food in order to raise my children's tuition which led to food shortage in the family. In addition, I also didn't have oxen to plough my farm land and therefore was costly for me to cultivate."

"My daily life has changed because I can meet the basic needs of my family like food with the profits from my motorbike business. Before, It was very hard since I had no source of income. In addition, my movements are no longer restricted during leisure time because I have means of transport . In past, I could not go to distant places."

"The greatest change that I have witnessed is that the GiveDirectly cash transfers made it possible for me to complete the construction of my house. Previously, I was thinking alot on how to complete my house because I did not have any income generating activity. I am grateful that GiveDirectly has empowered me to this stage."

"Currently, the change in my life is that, I do not over think on how to get an acre of land for cultivation, seeds to plant, a cow to provide food and act as a saving, to mention. earlier on, I did not have enough land for crop cultivation that made us food insecure."

"Generally I can say that my life has improved to a great extent because for one IO now have a business that is up and running and out of the business transactions, I am able to get enough money for my day to day needs. The members of this village no longer get transfers from GD but that does not worry me a t all because I am able to rely on my own finances and proceeds from my business."

"My life is different in that, I paid my children's school fees and got land for agriculture. In the past, I didn't have a stable source of income for paying my children's tuition and therefore had to rely on loans. I also had only one acre of land that couldn't produce enough food for my family. This usually led to famine since some times I had to sell the very little food for paying my children's tuition."

"I hope to have completed paying my daughter's school fees in the next six months so that I can focus on other projects. With her fees paid in time, she will have more time to concentrate on her studies and have improved performance at the end of the year."

"The moment I received the transfer from GiveDirectly, I felt very happy together with my spouse. In fact, we ululated and thanked God for the money. We were now sure of fulfilling our plans of constructing a permanent house."

"I used part of my transfer to buy a dairy cow. I decided to invest in dairy farming to provide enough milk for my family since I have been buying milk for many years and it was costly since I did not have any source of income. I will also sell the surplus milk to cater to my family basic needs. I also used part of my transfer to buy high-quality maize and beans seedlings which I planted on my farm. The crops are doing so well and I expect to have a good harvest and will get enough food for my family and sell the surplus to earn money for supporting my family. Before I couldn't afford to buy quality seeds and its results were poor harvest which wouldn't sustain us to next season. This would force me to buy food for the family. I also bought three bags of maize for my family since I have been buying maize flour on a daily basis."
