"The moment I received money from GiveDirectly, I felt very happy because I got money for paying school fees and buy a laptop for my children."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I would have saved enough money to rent a piece of land to do horticultural farming. This will enable me to have enough food for the family. Venturing into horticultural farming will also make my family not to depend too much on the poultry project and this will enable it to grow and I will be able to save some money to use in meeting other needs for my family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is seeing that I bought my three cows that I plan to use to marry a wife in the near future. This is so because I will pay her bride price as it is in my culture without waiting for other people's contributions. I will also be a family man then."

"Having heard a message notification, I checked and was struck with happiness on seeing that it was from GiveDirectly stating that I had received money. At that moment, my plan of owning land was being fulfilled."

"The moment I received my transfer, I became very happy because I knew I could access better health services with it, as this money came when I wasn't feeling well."

"I heard a notification and on checking, it was from Givedirectly. At that moment, I felt so happy knowing that I would be in position to get my academic papers that had taken long without being released due to lack of money. Together with my wife, we decided to pray about this money and started planing for it."

"I received the mobile money message at around 3:00 AM, I went ahead to check my account balance and I truly believed that I had the money. I was overwhelmed my joy after confirming that I had the money because my desire to construct a specious iron roofed house was going to be accomplished."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that at that moment, I knelt down and prayed thanking God for all this kind of financial help."

"In the next six months I expect my life to change in that my poultry keeping project shall have picked up and giving returns. I am well aware that GiveDirectly transfers shall come to an end in the next eight months and this project shall enable me sustain the income that I have been receiving from GiveDirectly and be able to improve my life and that of my family even more."

"In the next six months my life shall have changed in that I will be practicing commercial farming and I can be able to take my children to boarding schools and give them better quality education. Practicing commercial agriculture shall enable us as a family get that extra income and be able to meet most of our family's needs and secure our future and the future of our children"
