"My life is different now in that, I'm so happy because from the time I was born I had never held this kind of money GD sent to me before. I'm also well respected from the village because my standards of living have improved a lot in that I managed to construct a permanent house which is spacious enough. Before getting this money, I lived a very hard life in that all the time I could worry of wind and rain that my house could be blown and swept away by weather agents. They community members also looked down on me because my conditions of living were so bad because the house I slept in was ram-shackled."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I eat a balanced diet and I enjoy peace from my neighborhood as well. In the past, I scarcely fed on a balance diet since I had little money with a lot of needs to meet like school fees. In addition, my neighbors used to fight frequently because whenever the women wanted money from their men, it mostly resulted into quarrels and fights."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt happy in my heart and I felt at peace."

"My life is currently very different in that, I have a business that keeps me busy the whole day and I am able to earn an income from the same. This was not the not case before GD came, I used to do odd jobs and idling was the order of the day."

"I expect that my life in the near future because I will have transformed my house I to a semi-permanent structure so that it can last for so long into the future. When the building is in its current state it becomes easy for it to be washed away by heavy rains which may eventually lead to the collapsing of the house."

"My life has improved in that, I paid my child's tuition for a full year which has given me a peace of mind. Before, I used to wholly depend on agriculture produce for income which was unreliable due to the uncertainties in the climatic conditions. In addition, I had sold most of my livestock in order to raise money to meet my family needs most especially my child's tuition. This as a result left me with no oxen to plough my agricultural land."

"My life is better now in that, I'm so happy because I no longer worry about sleeping in a leaky grass thatched house. I have occupied my newly completed iron roofed house. When it rains, I enjoy the sound made by rain when hitting on the roof. I also sleep on a bed, mattress and new bed sheets which I didn't have before receiving money from GD. My household feeds on a well balanced diet because I could supplement by buying some food using these transfers. Prior to getting this money, I used to work on people's farms in order to get money for buying food. I lived a stressful life of looking for grass to renovate my grass thatched house which was dilapidated and soon could collapse. When it rains, my wife and children could complain a lot because we could not sleep since the house leaks."

"This financial support has made it possible for me to construct an iron roofed house which I desired in my life. Furthermore, I have started a business of selling cooking oil and empty Jerry cans which generates income for running of my faimly. Previously, I didn't have enough money to build an iron roofed house and Providing for my family was quit challenging because I depended on causal labour."

"My life has improved because I have built 3 roomed permanent house which is specious for me and the children. Before the transfer, I used to suffer looking for grass to renovate my thatched house. In addition, I have a peaceful mind because I cleared all the debts I had. In past, I had a lot of stress because I could not off set them."

"My life has totally changed in that, I no longer sleep in a leaking thatched house because I built a permanent one. I never had the money before to construct a permanent structure."
