"My life is different in that, I have been in position to pay school fees for the whole year for my daughter who is in senior four. I strongly believe that she is going to perform well because she has enough time to revise. In addition, I'm to buy a cow in 5 days time from now that will help me with future education of my children and milk. Before receiving this transfer, my children were often sent home for school fees which affected their performance."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I got money which was going to help me build spacious permanent house."

"My standards of living have improved recently because I have managed to repossess my land which I used to acquire a loan for taking me to hospital when I was hit with a strange disease which made my legs swell. I was helpless to extent that, they could carry me outside to bath, short and long calls. Secondly, I have used these transfers to hire more farmland especially in the swamp which I have ventured into rice growing to generate income. Finally, these transfer enabled me enroll my child into secondary education. Previously, I owned a very small portion of land which could not produce enough crops to sustain my family. In addition, without these transfer I could have managed to take my child to school because I did not have any money to pay school fees."

"I had been waiting eagerly to receive the said amount since we were enrolled this made me built a lot of concern of any message notification on my phone. During one night early April, I was amazed to receive the message notification from GD that I had received mone and I was left sleepless with happiness. I shared the news with my husband who was also happy to hear."

"My life is different in that, my living standards have improved. I was able to meet my family needs such as clothing, beddings and food something that I wasn't able to do easily before."

"My life is now beautiful because I sleep in a permanent house. The thatched house I slept in leaked every time it rained and I suffered sleepless nights due to this condition."

"My life has tremendously improved in that, I got land to cultivate and an ox. Before, I used to help others weed and harvest their crops in order to get a portion of food for my family to feed on. This happened because I never had my own land to cultivate. In addition, I got an ox which will enable me to plough my land together with the one I already had."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I started planning for it as I did not want it to go to waste if I do not plan for it."

"The cash transfers have significantly transformed my future. I started up a stationery business which earns me daily income. I have also acquired money to complete my diploma course. Before receiving the cash transfers, I was idle and unemployed. I usually did irregular casual jobs which were not profitable. More so, I was languishing at home due to lack of tuition to complete my diploma in agriculture. I am very thankful to GiveDirectly for the cash transfers."

"In the next six months of my life, I expect to have earned my share from the Merry-go-Round group and by then I expect to have constructed a kitchen which is my biggest concern now."
