"Receiving this money will enable me to buy a small piece of land of my own since i still live within my parents' land. Although they gave me the chance to build my house in their own land, my brothers always threaten to chase me away from home. I will use part of my transfer to also build a house and buy goats and sheep to rear in my farm."

"My life is different than it would have been because I have constructed an Iron roofed house for my self. I used to sleep in a leaking grass thatched house. Am now very happy and confortable in my new house."

"My life is different in that my mind is relaxed because as a family we aquired our own land. Before we got money we were hiring farm land which was not easy at all."

"GiveDirectly transfers have become a starting point towards a beautiful financially stable life. I would still be wallowing in debt as I would still be taking milk and other daily food supplies on credit. When the transfers came, I bought a cow that provides the otherwise very expensive milk and reduced my daily expenditure a lot. The money instead goes to meeting other daily needs more easily than beforer I recived the transfers. I am very happy that GiveDirectly came to my village."

"In the next six months, I plan to buy cement and sand which I will use in plastering the house. I am determined to plaster my house so that I make it one of the best in the village. I know with GD transfers, I will be able to achieve all my dreams."

"I live in a small house with my children.Being a widower,maintaining the house has been a problem for me.I have always desired to build a better house so that the one we live in will act as a kitchen.I have also wished to keep a few poultry as they come in handy when there is no other income.Receiving this money means that I will be able to build another house as well as start a poultry farm."

"In the next six months, I expect to have bought new chairs in my house such that I will be free to welcome my guests especially my small Christian group without feeling ashamed that they will have no chairs to sit on. We will also be able to enjoy our meals from the same table as a family since there will be enough chairs for us to sit on."

"Ever since I received this transfer, I have experienced a very big difference in my life. My kids can now eat to a full stomach, this has never happened in their 15 years of life. we have always had a bad drought in our region hence very little food. I'm even happier since I can do a business I have a passion for."

"In the next six months, I want to boost the cereal busuiness which I will start with part of the transfers in the next four months. I would want to invest in the business so that we don't go back to where we were before the transfers. I would want to keep up the pace set by Gd transfers. I would not want to beg anymore."

"I expect to make a lot of savings within the net months so that my kid who is in his final year in primary school will easily transition to his secondary education come next year. I have to start making the savings as early as now because for me I do not have a source of income that I can say that I will be able to rely on in the future in case GD stops the monthly cash transfers. Within a period of six months from today, I am sure I will have saved enough money that will see him off as he starts his secondary school education."
