"I live a very happy life nowadays as compared to the past. I managed to complete a house by plastering and flooring it. I have also secured some building materials which I will use to build another house. In addition to that, I bought household items like Jerry cans, Utensils and clothes. Prior to receiving money, we had very few things to use especially utensils and we wore mainly one pair of clothes. My house was very dusty and damanged by rodents which caused sickness in us like flu due to dust. We are no longer bothered by dust and rats because that is history now thanks to GD."

"My life has tremendously transformed from sleeping in a ramshackle grass thatched house to a iron roofed one. Previously, I used to live worryingly especially during rainy season. Whenever it rained, everything in the house got damaged from food stuffs to beddings. Ever since I occupied my house, I no longer worry of rain and I have peaceful nights. "

"I'm very happy now because I have found a spouse that I will soon marry since I have already bought dowry using the transfers. Secondly, I have saved my last transfer which I will spend in constructing a house once I'm done with marrying my wife. Lastly, I never owned a phone of my own but I thank GD for issuing me with a phone that enabled receive my transfers and communicate effectively with my loved ones. Prior to getting these money, I did not have dowry to marry a wife and I lived a low self-esteem life since people under looked at me that I was aging with a spouse."

"Prior to receiving these transfers, I used to sleep poorly. My house could leak whenever it rained. There was no difference between me and a homeless person who did not have where to lay a head at night. My life is different now because I sleep well in a iron roofed house. I'm no longer scared of rain like I did before getting money. Therefore, I live a happy life and I would like to thank GD for elavating my standards of living from sleeping in a grass thatched house to iron roofed."

"My life has changed because I'm now sleeping in well ventilated house with enough fresh air. I have also repossessed my Agricultural land which I have cultivated in g- nuts. Before these transfers, I slept in congested house which had poor ventilation and I could just rent the farm land."

"My life has changed because through these cash transfers, I have been able to build a permanent house and acquire Livestock ( an ox). I plan to agree with someone who also has an ox so that we put them together and plough shifts. Previously, I slept in a leaking thatched house and I could not afford to hire oxen to plough my farm land."

"The cash transfers offloaded the debt burden that I had. More so, we paid our children's school fees. This was a very bug challenge to us. We did not have any income generating activity besides agriculture which was unpredictable. I can only appreciate GiveDirectly for the cash transfers and my prayer is that may GiveDirectly live forever."

"My life is much better and comfortable. I have transformed from sleeping on the floor to sleeping on a comfortable bed. I have also acquired a plot of land . These could have been impossible to achieve with in a short period of time. I appreciate GiveDirectly for the cash transfers."

"My life has changed alot because I was able to settle medical bills and also acquire an ox for ploughing. More so, I can now communicate easily with my relatives. Previously, I had no personal phone which was a big challenge to me."

"The cash transfers transformed our lives for example we purchased a motorcycle that earns income for the family. In addition to this, I was able to access better medical treatment. We also hired a piece of farm land that will increase our food supply. I am very happy because all these achievements would not have been possible without GiveDirectly."
