"In the next six months, I expect to have a good yield from my farm which I shall use to support my family. Having adequate food in the house will enable us as a family to focus on other areas of development such as paying school fees for the school going children. I believe that education is the key to success and when they shall have completed their studies, they will not only be able to seek formal employment. They will also be able to use the skills they might have learned to create for themselves job opportunities."

"In the next six months, I expect my lifestyle to greatly improve since my earnings will mainly go to acquiring food for my family and paying school fees for my son. This means that they will be feeding well and as a result, they will feel more healthy and less stressed up. In addition, I shall always be having some little savings which I shall use to support my son in pursuit for his studies. This is a long term investment that I believe will yield much for my family once he completes the study and secures a good job."

"My expectation bin the near future is to start a family. I am of age to get and marry a lady so that we can help one another with the farm. Therefore, I want to be financially independent and stable so as to be able to start and run a family well as the head of a family. I want to live a good and productive live by doing more farming activities."

"In the next six months l expect to have started buying cement and sand to start my project of plastering my house."

"I expect my life to be good in terms of economic status. I had sweet potatoes plantation which is ready and hopefully, it will be harvested for the next two months. This means I will have stable money for the family."

"In the next six months l expect to have completed renovating my house."

"I have been able to build a new house - something I never thought I could do soon. Watching my children grow has always reminded me that I needed to build a new house. The house that we were living in was too small and as children grow, It is only natural for them to stay in a separate room with their parents. Receiving GiveDirectly transfers enabled me to bring this dream to a reality and we now have a new house where my children can be comfortable in. We are also in a better place to receive visitors without the fear of wondering where we could find them sleep. This has equally made me so happy and proud as a responsible parent."

"My life is currently different from how it used to be in that I managed to buy a few household items like seats and one solar lantern. I am a happy woman who can take care of daily needs without taking loans and begging around. I started a business using the transfers which is doing well. It can take care of most of my personal needs. I can also comfortably cater for my family's needs and still pay school fees for my daughter."

"My life is currently different from how it was in that I am now stress-free. As a widow, I was overwhelmed with responsibilities that required to be settled by only me. This was not easy as I could jump from one job to the next. The pain of a child lacking something could hurt me so much. I had to work extra hard and make sure I provided for my family even if it meat working till late in the evening. I am glad that I started my business with the second transfer which has been supporting me nowadays. I don't have to depend on casual jobs anymore. I am a happy woman who can take care of the family's burden with ease thanks to GiveDirectly for the support that they gave me."

"The major difference in my life right now compared to my previous one when I did not receive the transfers is that I now have a kitchen. With this transfer, I bought building materilas like timber, nails and iron sheets and built a kitchen and poultry pen. My children now sleep in their own room and find space to study after school and the poultry does not have to share a room with them either."
