"In the next six months, I would still want to invest in my mandazi business. I would want to improve until it gets to a hotel. This is my goal which I want to achieve with the money."

"I don't expect my life to change much in the next six months, maybe just the relief that comes with knowing that my children don't have a huge school fee balance in their respective schools as we will be using our transfers to pay part of the fees each month."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer from GiveDirectly because we are currently residing in a relatively good geographical location with favorable climatic conditions that suits our farming practices. We used the funds on purchasing some parcel of land and shifted our residence to the new location. Hence, GiveDirectly is indeed a great helper that has enabled me to come out of the semiarid and relatively infertile land that we used to have."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because we have a new and better house. Accordingly, it is now relatively easier for me to maintain my house and keep it clean. This dream could have taken more years to be attained if not for the financial boost from GiveDirectly"

"I have always wished to have an extra income generating activity for an extra source of income, since i am primary school teacher and the salary i get is barely enough to meet the needs of my family. I therefore plan to buy two dairy cattle which will produce milk for selling. I will use the remaining part of my transfer to buy water tanks which will enable me to harvest water during rainy seasons."

"My life is different in that I no longer depend on my husband to buy food for my family. The income I get from the poultry project is enough to meet the family basic needs such as food. I also have enough food for my family since I used part of my transfers to buy two bugs of maize which will last us for some time."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have saved part of the transfer on a monthly basis and buy an ox. Oxen are known for cultivation in my community hence I will use it to cultivate my farm and also get an extra income through cultivating my neighbours' farms at a fee. Finally, keeping animals such as a goat also comes as a source of pride according to our culture and tradition. Their milk production which is a very essential thing in human life."

"I expect in the next six months I shall have saved money and bought a dairy cow and through this dairy cow, I will get enough supply of milk Whereas I wouldn't have to be buying milk from other people in the village as I do. At some times I will also sell some of it and make an extra income."

"The college I'll be going to is quite a distance from home, it will be hectic walking there every day since I know I can't afford to take a motorbike daily. In the next six months, I hope that I will have saved some money from my monthly transfers to buy a bicycle for transportation to make life easier."

"The biggest difference is that I have been able to finish the construction of my house. This is a dream come true. My family now enjoys the comfort of space. Initially, we lived in a tiny house that had no windows with only one exit door. It used to be dark and very boring. But thanks to GD we currently live in a beautiful, spacious and well-lighted house."
