"My life is different because I acquired a bicycle which is helping me collect alot of water in time because I can carry four jerrycans at once. Before, I used to cover along distance to collect water which was time consuming."

"My life is better because I have built permanent house which I will soon be sleeping in it after fixing the doors. Before, I used to sleep in leaking hut."

"My life has improved because I have got more household goods like utensils, clothing and curtains which have beautified my house. Before, I had few goods like clothes which were torn. In addition, I can also have three meals in a day as opposed to when I could hardly afford a meal."

"My life has improved because I'm building permanent house which I never thought I would have done on my own. In addition, I have got back my gardens which I had used as colatral for the loan I got for treatment. I plan to cultivate potatoes this season. Before, I used to have only one garden as a result we used to experience food shortage in the family."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change for better because I shall use the iron sheets I shall have bought to establish my own home. In my new home, I shall have adequate space for keeping livestock as well as doing poultry farming. Moreover, my sons will have space where they will build their houses, and they will no longer go to spend in the neighborhood."

"The second cash transfer saved my life. My health is now improving and getting better each day. Previously, I was given a slow acting poison by unknown persons and my health was slowly deteriorating. I had to seek treatment from various traditional and medical practitioners. I would have lost my life because I had no money then to access any medical attention. Nevertheless, I am very grateful that GiveDirectly sent the second cash transfer at the time when I needed it most."

"GiveDirectly has brought alot of joy and happiness in my home.The cash transfers have enabled me to buy an ox for ploughing. I have hired a piece of farmland which will increase my crop production. In addition to this, I was able to enrol my two children in primary boarding schools. I could not afford to pay for boarding fees and all the school requirements on time."

"The cash transfers changed my life because I have constructed a four roomed iron roofed house with the cash transfers. My family of four children is happier and healthier now. With the cash transfers I can afford to buy various food types like meat, sugar. Before I received the cash transfers, we used to sleep in a small crowded hut and at times my family would go hungry because of lack of money to buy enough food. However, the cash transfers have saved my family."

"My life has changed alot because I constructed a nice iron roofed house. I also purchased enough food stock like cassava and household items like clothes, and a solar panel for lighting at night. In addition to these, I hired a farm land for commercial rice growing. This will earn me income to support my family. In the past, I could not afford to purchase food and most of the household items due to lack of money. More so it never crossed my mind that I would construct an iron roofed house. The cash transfer has saved me from worries and tension that I had due to lack of enough money."

"In the next six months, I am anticipating to have more development projects and be able to put more land under cultivation."
