"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."

"Receiving this transfer was the happiest moment of my life. I have never received such an amount since childhood. This transfer came through at the moment I was really I need. i had alot of debt from school and my only hope was to sell my only cow."

"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."

"I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months. This is because I will be having my own dairy cow. Subsequently, I will be saving more funds which could otherwise be used to buy milk. Moreover, my family shall have enough milk for consuption. I will top up the savings with the transfers from GiveDirectly to be used in leasing more land to facilitate my farming activities. Still, I will be spending most of my time working on my farm. Hence, I will no longer be handling the casual work that I have been doing."
