"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to pay school fees for my daughter who used to be sent home most of the time due to fee arrears. I normally sell sisal to earn a living and this is what I depended on to pay her school fees and take care of the family needs too. As a widow, I don't think I could have managed to do all these by myself. I thank Give Directly for empowering me and giving me the confidence to face the challenges in my life."

"Currently, my life is different in that I have been able to pay my school fees on time which has made be attend school smoothly. The act of receiving GiveDirectly transfer has really motivated me to see the possibility of completing my college education that I wasn't certain of before. I believe through completing this course I will be able to get employed and assist my family with the provision of the basic needs because at the moment I cannot bear seeing them struggle to provide a better future for us."

"The moment I received the transfer I was ovewhelmed with joy. I had never received such a huge amount of money in my life and I knew that it was my turn to reach most of the goals that I had yeared for a long time."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have a reliable source of income. Before the transfer, I could stay for a week without getting money. Selling charcoal was the main source of income and being that most of the people were also clogged up in the same business, I could just get a few coins that could not be enough to support my family. Getting customers could take a long time. I could borrow money from friends most of the time just to meet my family's needs but today, I am a happy woman who takes care of my family's needs with ease."

"The cash transfers have changed my life alot. I was able to clear all my debt burden and I am now a debt free person. Moreso, the cash transfers enabled me to pay my child's school fees. Previously, I had to borrow loans so as to pay my children's school fees. However the cash transfers have made it possible for me to clear both the loans and school fees at once."
