"My current life is different in that I have hope of doing well."

"In the past I wasn't able to build a house for myself but now givedirectly had given me money to buy materials to construct my own house."

"My proudest achievement is when I got a sponsor to help pay my education due to lack of fees.I am now hopeful to become a better person in the society."

"In the next six months i will be having a cow .I will have bought this cow from the money i receive in these transfers so that i can rely on it as a source of income.It will provide milk that i can sell even as it gives birth and multiplies."

"My life is currently different because these transfer will boost school fees payment for my kids,farming and my medical cover.These would not have been possible without GiveDirectly."

"My life is currently different than it would have been if I had never received the transfer in that, I managed to lease land hence just hopeing for more produce unlike before where I used to depend on one parcel of land."

"My biggest hardship currently is lack of enough money/resources to take care of all my family's needs. This leads to regular quarrels between me and my husband on who should take care of certain financial responsibilities in the house."

"My proudest achievement is taking very good care of my parents when they were still alive. By then, I was in the Army, and my biggest responsibility was making sure that my parents were well taken care of."

"My new goal is to cement my house so as to look decent because currently with the muddy nature, I have to smear it after sometime which is hectic."

"My new goal that I didn't have before receiving the transfers is to start a clothes selling business. This business will really boost my income and will enable me support my family without straining much."
