"When I got this money, I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness to the extent that I danced and ululated for the awesome news from GiveDirectly."

"Although I have not yet completed to build my house, my life is different in that soon I will be able to complete it and move in to it. This will relive me from the stress of yearly renovating my current grass thatched house that keeps leaking. In addition to this, my standard of living has improved as I was able to buy some household items like bed, mattress, and bed sheets that will give me a comfortable sleep as compared to before where I had to pile up old clothes to make a bed."

"The biggest change in my daily life is that, I'm excited and I live stress free. Being I a widow, I wasn't able to meet all my basic necessities especially food because I had one acre of land that didn't yield for me enough food. This in turn led to hunger which left me stressed."

"I have bought most of the household items( a bigger mattress, a bed, a bed cover and curtains) that I had longed for in life. Further more, I was in position to save the life of my wife because this money enabled me seek proper treatment and feed her well while in treatment. previously, I didn't have enough money to acquire these household items and I would have lost my wife I had I not received this money."

"My heart was filled with joy when I saw a mobile money message on my phone. I woke up and left the bed while laughing on top of my voice because it was like a miracle to me to have received such big sums of money."

"I felt too happy when I saw the money in my phone. It was very humbling receiving such an amount because it didn't happened to me before."

"My daily life's biggest difference is having bought a piece of farm land that I am now using to increase on food production. This is because prior to getting this transfer, I only had one piece of farm land that I had to use given that my husband is a bastard child and was given only one piece of land that accommodated our home and at the same time our farm."

"I was so happy when I got my cash from GiveDirectly whereby, I laughed in jubilation upon receiving this money reason being I will be able to build Iron roofed house."

"The moment I received the transfer I felt too excited. This was my first time to handle such a huge amount of money."

"The biggest difference is that I now own oxen and an ox plough that have boosted my labour force. Previously I had to hire oxen from the neighbors which was costly and stressful."
