"My life is different because I have those things which I never had before such as the new house as well as the domestic animals which I acquired. If it were not for the cash transfers from GIve Directly, I think none of the mentioned items would have been possible to acquire."

"I was employed before I started getting the cash transfers but I currently have my own business which generates some income. I am a satisfied man because I do not have to depend on someone to employ me in order to make some cash."

"My life has changed because I will be in a position to cultivate my farm without having to wait for others to finish their cultivation and then get to borrow their animals for a certain period. In most cases, when you borrow the animals, the owner charges a certain fee which at times is not easy to get due to the limited financial abilities of most people in this locality."

"My life has transformed because of the new house that I already built using the transfers that I got from the organization. My kids are also able to go to school unlike before when they could spend months and months just staying at home because we lacked money to pay. Apart"

"Currently, my life is different from how it was in that, I was able to help my mother build a house. I have now found peace knowing that my mum is now living in a decent house and she is not exposed to any type of danger. It has also greatly reduced my budget because she went upcountry therefore I no longer pay rent for her. I now save that money which will help me launch my future projects."

"My life has changed because these cash transfers, have enabled me to acquired own farm land. This season I hope to get good yields because I have Cultivated maize on large scale. Secondly, I bought 6 calves which I plan to use as bride price for my future wife. Previously, I farmed on small scale because I shared the farm with my other brothers and I could not afford to buy livestock."

"My life has changed in that, I own livestock that will enable me to marry and sustain my family. Previously, I heavily depended on casual jobs that were seasonal and low paying. Therefore, I basically worked for my stomach and other needs like medical hence making it difficult for me to save to buy assets."

"There is a difference in my life, I now eat thrice a day and on time because I stocked some food in the house. I also sleep in my newly constructed iron roofed house and on a good mattress. Before, I was sleeping in a grass thatched house with a leaking roof and on a very old mattress. Food was gold, I cold have only one meal in a day."

"My life is different in that, I live a stress free life because I own land and livestock. A day never passes without me testifying to some one about the good things that the GiveDirectly transfers have done. I used to be a laughing stock in my community because I was very poor. This left me in stress and it almost claimed my life because I never knew peace in my life. In addition, the land I lived in was for my in law but my self esteem has been restored when I bought my own land."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy to receive such an amount of money to extent of feeling better since I was unwell.This was after switching on the phone in the morning."
