"The moment I received my money, I became very happy because I was to acquire a bicycle and all the household items that I needed(mattress,bed sheets, utensils and clothes)."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I have money at hand that enables me to spend as I wish like building, shopping, feeding, and paying children's fees. This alone has made my life easy and my family living in peace and harmony. In the past without this money, we always had logger heads in the family but now, there is nothing of the sort."

"The day I received this money, I was so happy to that extent I realized all my problems could be solved with this money. for example my current house that I occupy leaks so bad there is no difference between me and a homeless person because the roof is open."

"This financial assistance enabled me acquire cows that are going to help me address any need that arises and provide milk. Secondly, I paid off the debt that I had and I have repossessed my piece of land that the money lender had taken. Before receiving this transfer, I had given up on recovering my piece of land because of the shortage of money."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is my ability to buy some building materials, pay off my debt and although it will be later, see to it that I will be able to have an iron roofed house. Prior to getting this transfer, I always depended on agriculture (on a very small piece of land) and casual labor that would not at any given time enable me to raise money to accomplish the above."

"I changed my life because I was able to buy enough livestock such as goats and cows which I now have courtsey of the cash transfers from Give Directly. I also paid school fees for my kids who now have zero arrears at school."

"The moment I received my money, I became very happy because my plan to plaster my house and acquiring an ox was going to be achieved."

"My heart was filled with joy and happiness that point in time I received this money. I thanked God for if it was not him this couldn't have happened."

"Buying the two female cows was such a huge project for me because I know that they will provide milk that will be enough for family use going into the future. I also spared a significant amount which I used to offset the school fees arrears for the kids."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the changed lifestyle as I feed and dress well as compared to before when yes, I used to feed and dress but not on balanced dietary food and decent designer clothing. I also I feel confident that using the cattle that I bought, I will be in position to fully marry my wife as it is in my culture to give dowry to the lady's parents for appreciation."
