"My life is now different in that, I'm living a healthy life because I nolonger lack money to buy basic needs especially food. Previously, I didn't have any source of income and this made me to worry a lot over how to meet these needs hence deteriorating my health. In addition, I bought cows of which one is about to calf and I can sell the milk for income."

"The additional goals in my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is to save the little money I will be getting from my business so that I will use it in building my own house. By doing this, I will always be comfortable visiting my in laws since I will be knowing that I have my own house to sleep at."

"At the moment, I do not have any new or additional goals in my life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer. The only goal I currently have is to grow my business empire so that my daily income will increase. By doing so, I will be able to save some money that I will use to pay for my dowry when I get married. This business will also help me cater for my family needs on time and make sure they they lack nothing."

"My parents neglected me and I had to fend for myself at a very tender age. They never cared for me and I had to undertake casual jobs after school in order to raise school fees and other basic needs. This made me perform poorly in my final primary examination, something which I believe is the root cause for my poverty. Maybe I could be living a better life if I had received education up to tertiary level. I therefore consider parental deprivation as my biggest challenge as it has resulted to all my current problems."

"My additional goal in life that I didn't have before receiving the transfer is to expand my business empire by expanding my cosmetic and saloon shops. By doing so, I will have increased my daily income which will make me cater for my family needs with much ease. This income will also help me pay for my sons secondary school education as from next year since he is in his final year in his primary education. It has always been my prayer to see him prosper in life and that is why I am always dedicated in his education. I can only prove this by ensuring that I pay his school fees on time and that is why I really need to expand my business in order to increase my daily income which I will be using to cater for this."

"school fees 30000, food 3000, restock 3500 I received my most recent transfer at a time when my daughter in form four was on a mid term holiday. Because of this, I spent a good amount from it to pay her school fees since she had been sent with a letter indicating that she should not report back to school without paying the remaining amount of school fees. I knew that failure to comply would result to her being sent back home and I did not wish that to happen because I needed her to concentrate on her studies. I spent the remaining amount to boost my business by buying some more stock since I had been using the little profits I used to get pay her school fees. I knew that it would collapse at any time and I never wished something like that to happen as it was my only source of income."

"I received the message notification early in the morning. I quickly checked the message notification because I was surprised who would have to text me this early in the morning. Upon checking, it was notifying me that I have received money from GiveDirectly. I felt very happy because I knew that some of my dreams will be fulfilled."

"In the next six months, I expect to have replaced my house's roof. I shall, therefore, be living in a better house with good roofing thus I shall be safe from rain. Moreover, my household items and beddings will also be safe from rain. I shall no longer be disrupted from sleep when it rains at night because I shall be having a good shelter. Through it all, my life will change for better and I shall be living happily."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of land for cultivation. "
