"The biggedt difference in daily life the happiness I feel seeing that I am now healthy and I can walk (although using a walking aid). This is because I was able to get treatmet that was overdue. Prior to getting this transfer, I had no way to go to a proper hospital to get treatment because most places I went to were very expensive. Therefore, I had to keep home while disabled."

"My life's biggest difference is being able to get back my piece of farm land that would not be possible had I not got this transfer. This will now help me to increase the production of food. Prior to getting this farm land, my family being big and the place I was farming on very limited, it was difficult to make ends meet. My family always suffered of famine because the food crops were not enough to sustain it."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago in that I now own a dairy cow and two heifers. When it reproduces, my family will always have milk for their consumption. I will also be supplying milk to our local cooler plant and use the income I will be paid at the end of every month to use in meeting some of our needs."

"It was around 4 am when I decided to power on my phone as I had switched off before going to bed. After inputting my sim pin, I immediately received two message notification and upon checking its contents, I realized that GiveDirectly had finally honored their promise. My heart was instantly filled with happiness as I knew that I would be able to achieve so many things using this money."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I am experiencing. This is because I was able to get back my land that I will freely cultivate on without interference and worrying about harvesting my crops before they fully mature."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of a clear source of income. I depend on farming but it is not reliable. Having access to disposable income is twice a year and that is based on the season. In seasons of good harvest, I have disposable income and in seasons of poor harvest, I do not have enough disposable income."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to provide for my family. There is no clear source of income for my household and yet I have a lot of responsibility ranging from treatment, school fees and all others. I sell off the little agricultural harvest that I am able to get in order to raise money that I use to provide for the family. This in most cases has caused food shortage in my home."

"I hope that the tomato farming that I am planning to venture into will have materialized into something great financially within the next six months. This will be a way of me trying to save for my college fees and if the project turns out well, I will stick to it for more income."

"When I got pregnant while in school, I had no option but to drop out and move in with my baby's father as I was no longer welcome home. He too was a student, still is, and thus neither of us earns any income whatsoever. We depend mostly on his parents for upkeep and other relatives of his, even the house we live in was given to us by his brother because we could not afford to build one for ourselves. With a baby to take care of now, we are devastated. Thus, our biggest hardship is financial instability. "

"Food insecurity has been a big challenge in my life. I am only depending on the old ways of farming which are characterized by a poor harvest. This has forced me to resort to hiring oxen from a neighbor which is very expensive and hard to get during the cultivation period, something that has led to constantly skipping meals as I can hardly afford a meal per day. watching my children crying every morning as a result of lack of enough food has eaten away my joy in life. Therefore, I consider the lack of adequate financial resources as my biggest hardship."
