"I saw the message notification early in the morning as I was going through the messages in my phone's inbox. To my surprise, I came across the one message from GiveDirectly that I have been waiting for days. On checking its content I realized that GiveDirectly had sent the transfer they had promised us. I was greatly overjoyed and thankful to GiveDirectly for financial support."

"I was told of the notification in the morning from GiveDirectly by my helper who checked for me and confirmed that GiveDirectly had sent the transfer. This made me so happy and I rejoiced together with my family for the fortune."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I have restored my main source of income which was farming that had collapsed due to lack of capital to sustain it. Now, I am earning some income on a daily basis that helps me cater to my family's needs. Prior to receiving this money, I lived a hopeless life because I had no means I could generate daily income to cater for my family's basic needs."

"My life has changed because I have managed to build my own home away from my in-laws who had become a problem for me. They used to make decisions for my spouse which made my spouse become abusive and my stay with my children was not peaceful but rather full of pain. In my new home currently, I make my own decisions hence my children and I have a piece of my mind thanks to GiveDirectly for making this possible."

"In the next six months, I would like to have started a large scale poultry farming. Currently, I keep poultry but in small scale because I do not have a large poultry house and the resources to feed them. After constructing a bigger kitchen, I'll use the current kitchen to keep the poultry which will help keep as many poultry as I can."

"I used the money to buy my own sewing machine which I have been using to do my work operations within this locality. Today I am able to make my own cash long after the transfers were stopped, which means my life continues as usual and my family enjoys a good life courtesy of the machine that I bought using the transfers from GD."

"I expect to pay school fees for my children who will get to stay in school and concentrate on their studies. I have bought building materials that I will use later to plaster my house as I had built a new house but had not plastered it. I look forward to having a beautiful house that would be the envy of the entire village."

"First of all, the big house which I built was all possible courtesy of the transfers from GD, otherwise, I could not have achieved such a milestone by my own efforts."

"My current house is not that big to accommodate visitors and my family well thus I do take my visitors to sleep in my brother's house. This is hectic and not secure because I have to let the visitors walk at night. Therefore, in the next six months, I plan to buy building materials which I will use to construct a house for my guests where they will spend. I would not want to bother my neighbors anymore with my visitors."

"I plan to save and boost my business by restocking. I plan to do this so that I can increase the income generation of the family. We look forward to eating healthy food, pay school fees in time and also dress well."
