"The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I feel when I am going to bed. This is because my bed now feels good to sleep on since it is very comfortable. Before getting this money, I had a very old tattered mattress for a bed and it really never gave a comforting sleep as I had to always wake up in the night to see that I was sleeping on the bare floor when the mattress pieces have parted."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I had received money to spent the way I pleased."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I own an ax that is going to help me plough my farmland. I expect good harvest because this time around I am going to plough and plant at the right season. Previously I planted late because I was using other people's oxen who first prioritized their farms before they give out to others."

"I feel that my thoughts are a bit stable by now. Had it not for GiveDirectly, I wouldn't be having my child still in school studying. There was no money to pay for her school fees. However, this was made possible by the money which I received from the organization. Currently, they've completed school. Another one who had stopped going to school resumed when I got the money and had his school fees cleared. Had we depended on politicians, like we've been for many years, the above wouldn't have been made possible. As a family, I feel we are relieved."

"The biggest difference in my life is that l managed to start the business of hiring plastic chairs in our village and this has earned me more money as compared the casual jobs that I used do in that I am able to support my parents in providing me withthe basic needs. They are very happy and feel relived by getting my support. The business has also supported people in the village since they no longer walk a long distance in search of plastic chairs for hire incase of any function."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I managed to pay school fee for daughter with ease after I have gone through a lot, I was trying but I could not make ends meet and my daughter was almost dropping out of school. I am happy because they are now learning without any difficulties. I also now have my own cattle that I will be able to sell when I need to pay school fee for my children. "

"If I could not have received the transfer I could not have managed to invest in a lager scale farming as i did by hiring tractor to till my land using give directly's money, I could have just in used my own hand and till a very small portion. But now I am very happy I have managed to invest in a larger scale farming and sure of getting enough produce."

"If I would not receive money from Give directly I could not have managed to buy motorcycle and I could still be operating somebody else motorcycle which was not profitable. But now I am happy I have my own motorcycle that I operate the way I want and getting enough money to take care of my family."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I am now staying in a very nice comfortable house that I am not worried of it's falling down any time. My family is also now staying in a very comfortable spacious house where they can move free and have enough space to do a their things. I no longer spend money to buy parrafin as i used to do before rather I always spend that money to buy households, I am very happy because life has become a bit cheaper because I also use the solar to charge for people their phones and get money for my up keep."
