"My life is different from how it would have been had I never received the transfers because I have been able to build a spacious house for my family. The transfers enabled me to build a two-room house which J consider it more spacious compared to one room house that I had before. Due to this, we all enjoy our privacy and one can even take a nap during the day without any disturbances."

"I own a shop in our locality and before I received my transfers, it was in a verge of collapsing. This is because I had spent most of the income from this business to meet our needs without bothering to restock. Gd removed me from the pit of poverty. My transfers enabled me to bring it back to its feet and I have now started earning some profits. This would not have been possible had I not received the transfers."

"Before Give Directly we had no furniture in my newly built house. We had struggle to build a ironed roofed house but was incomplete as we run short of resources before completion. Now I am happy that I have good seats and table. Also I have fixed widows for my house. I also bought a cow to add to one which we had. Now we have enough milk for use at home and we sell some which earn us some income."

"The biggest difference in my life is that now we are more happy with my husband presently. Before, I would sometime depend on my husband so much until when he wouldn't provide for us it would result to quarrel. Now I took a tailoring course which after I graduated I secured a casual job as a tailor and can take care of household shopping as he take care of schoolfees and other bills. We live in harmony. Thanks to Give Directly for bring such harmony in our family."

"Imagine a family of 5 having only 0.2 acres of land for cultivation. The yields i get every harvest seasons have never been sufficient to take us through the next harvests, more so now that land unproductivity as a result of unpredictable rainfall patterns is high in this region. This is the biggest hardship we face in my family"

"The biggest difference in my life is the ability to invest in farming. I have a parcel of land that had for a long time been lying idle. I always wanted to utilize it on maize and beans farming but it was difficult to start. Using part of the transfer, I plowed the land and planted maize. As if in agreement with GD's work, the heavens opened and we have received an unusual January rain. This is has led to the proper growth of my maize crop. For over ten years, I had not gotten any substantial maize harvest. This is the first year in a very long time that I have had enough food for ny family."

"I expect that I will be making extra money from the sale of milk form the livestock. I have an intention to buy a dairy cow so that I make my school payment ordeal less messy. If I manage to establish milk production I will be saved from the troubles of having to sell some of my animals on my farm. I expect to be prospering in my business too."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received this transfer in that I have hope of completing the construction of my house with the remaining amount from GiveDirectly's transfer. This shall be the biggest relief to start off this new year. I will be glad to transition from the old house whose one side had collapsed. This situation has made me worry about my family's safety for quite some time. The likelihood of collapsing has been very high. It has been difficult to think about owning a decent house because the income that we normally make from farming and cooking in events around the village has never been enough to build a house."

"My life is currently different in that I now live in a new house which is iron roofed which I would not have built had it not been for support from GiveDirectly. Also, I wouldn't have succeeded in buying a cow which is now beneficial to the family. My children would still be wearing torn old clothes but the support gave us breakthrough."

"My life is currently different since I now own a cow which is producing milk which gives my children good health every time they consume it. Had it not for the money l received , we wouldn't have started the business that I mentioned earlier on. So it's been all blessings through this amazing organization."
