"I now own 2 cows which is a big change in my life and it makes me feel happy. I believe that these cows will multiply and I can sell them to meet any family needs."

"In the next six months, I expect that my life shall have changed for the better in that I shall have bought an additional dairy cow and hopefully start building a new and improved house for my family. We are currently staying in a small grass thatched house that is mud walled and we are looking forward to having an improved one soon. We also have plans of buying an additional dairy cow that will improve the living standards of my family in the long run. This, I am sure shall be done in the next six months if all goes well with our plans."

"There is a big change in my life, my status has been lifted because I am now in the process of constructing an iron roofed house which I was not able to do before. I give God glory for making a way for me."

"My life has improved because I bought oxen which will enable me to farm on time as opposed to when I used to first do casual labour in order to hire other people's oxen. In addition, my children now sleep on a mattress."

"When I read the mobile money message on my phone, I was overwhelmed with joy that day."

"When I had the sound of a message, I did not know that it was the mobile money message. I gave my son to check it and he told me it was money, I became happy and I felt calm."

"I felt very excited because I got money for paying school fees and acquiring anther ox."

"I read the mobile money message at 06:00am. I felt very happy and overwhelmed with joy. I was in avery sorry state and yet there was no money to empower me do what I wanted."

"The moment I received the money I felt happy, I believed that the financial assistance that GiveDirectly promised me was real."

"I read the message early the next day and I confirmed that it was really sent by GiveDirectly. I knelt down and praised God for sending GiveDirectly to uplift us from poverty."
