"The moment I received the transfer, I felt very happy. I had eagerly waited to see this transfer in order to meet the needs I had."

"My life will have changed in the next six months in that I will have attained my poultry keeping project goal. I will have also started saving the income from this project towards achieving my life goal of owning a plot of my own. I am aiming at this because I am a single mother and I still live with my parents. After accumulating my income, I will build a house in this plot so that my children will have a place to call home."

"My expectation in the near future is to buy a piece of land to improve my agricultural activities. I currently live in a small rocky piece of land. This limits me in how much agricultural activities I can do in this piece. The extra piece of land will allow me to keep my livestock comfortably while at the same time have some space for some food crops."

"The moment I received that money, I felt so happy to be receiving such an amount of money in my life. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is happiness to have acquired cows that will provide milk, or be sold to pay child's school fees."

"My major work for the coming months is to stock my business. This will help me increase my finances. I believe through this I will be in a position to provide for my family with less difficulty."

"Since I started receiving these transfers, there has been a lot of positive changes in my life, but having one more before the project ends will just make everything better. I wish to complete fencing my compound before the end of the transfers because I know that if I don't, I will not be able to complete it on my own owing my lack of stable income."

"The big difference in my life is that I have acquired a good mattress, bed sheets which are making my sleep comfortable. Additionally, I can now afford food unlike before when I could sleep hungry some days because I was not able to afford food."

"The moment I heard the message tone, I woke up to check the message and when I confirmed that it was the GiveDirectly transfer, I became so happy and felt like flying."

"I received a notification message of mobile money at around 2:20 am. I became very happy in that I couldn't get back to sleep and immediately I started planning on how to spend it."
