"I expect to buy one truck of sand that I will use to cement my house that is currently made of mud. I will do so so that my house becomes more durable for a very long time in the future."

"The big plan right now is to save as much as I can so that I can be able to buy a cow in the near future. It will not be an easy task for me to complete because of the little cash I get every month but I know this mission will be achievable."

"My plan right now is to buy household items such as new furniture because the ones are in a dilapidated state. I intend to plaster my house once the construction of the external area is completed."

"I'm no longer worried like I used to before I received the transfer. I was worried about my leaking houses and when rains return I live in bad conditions due to leakage and my property could get damaged. I'm so happy because I have built my house though its not complete but I believe after I get my last transfer it will fully be complete."

"My life is different because I have my oxen and when rains return I will be able to plough with ease and no longer have to hire labor which is very expensive. I used to think a lot how my child could go back school but since I was able to pay fees with this transfer I have peace of mind."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am clear of debts. before I received my payments from GiveDirectly, my income was so poor that I ended up accumulating debts in shops Ias I took daily supplies on credit. Most of the shops around where I live had already incurred losses as I could not pay what I owed them. I ended up borrowing more in order to pay them. This further aggravated my situation to almost hopelessness. But when the transfers came, I paid all those that I owed to people and now live freely unlike when it used to worry me because whenever I met them they would demand their money."

"In the next six months l expect to continue receiving money and spending it to buy food stuffs to a void begging from relatives."

"Inadequate finances is my biggest worry because it has limited my ability to sufficiently provide my family with basic needs such as food and education. My daughter has been forced to work to raise enough money to pay for her college which I can not afford. I also have a son in secondary school who is currently at home for lack of fees. Another one is mentally ill but unfortunately I am not able to provide him with the special care and medication that he needs. "

"I will have to build a new house. I will make bricks using this money and then use it to build.I intend to leave my old grass thatched house for a beautiful new one. This home improvement is only possible with the next six months transfers."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months. I will be having a dairy cow. This will help me feed my family and provide food as I sell milk to get money."
