"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel happy seeing that I was able to weed my rice farm in a very little time given the labour that I was able to pay for. In the past, I always had to weed the farm and even leave some parts since its too big and there was no money to employ any labourers."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the relief I have within knowing that I was able to buy a set of ploughs that will help me in terms of extensive cultivation. Prior to getting this transfer, I used to use a hand hoe which took me long to cover up a big place."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the Joy I feel whenever I see my complete permanent house. I know that come what may, I will not get back to the life I had of always suffering to look for grass to thatch my house when the other one gets old and worn out."

"Compared to before when I did not have a proper bed (initially we shared one small old mattress that at times I left it for my wife and child) for my wife, child and myself, now the biggest difference in my daily life is seeing that we are all having proper beds to sleep on. This has made me a happy man."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I was sure of buy an ox and getting where to farm."

"I felt very excited because I never expected to get money from GiveDirectly."

"My life is has changed because through this cash transfer, I hired labour and farmed on large scale. This season I am sure of good yields. Previousely, I used local tools and farmed on a small piece of land. Secondly, I have bought building materials though the project has not yet started but hopefully after getting the second transfer."

"The moment I got money, I felt happy because I was going to buy a mattress and farm land."

"The biggest difference in my life is that, I have acquired a full set of oxen which has enabled me to plough my farm land on time this season. In the past, I used to hire from other people or provide casual labour inorder to get oxen. In addition, I have bought building materials thus I am very sure of building apermanent house."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I was going to acquire what I did not have before like a cow and a bed."
