"The truth is that I have witnessed a very positive change in my life from the time that I received the cash transfers. I am now healthy and decent because I can afford to wear new clothes. I am very happy because very soon I will shift to a nice comfortable iron roofed house with nice bedding. My family eats a well balanced diet and with the three plots of land that I hired, I intend to increase my food crop production. Formerly, my life was very miserable, I could not even afford smearing oil, we could not afford a good meal meal. At times we could sleep on an empty stomach."

"When the phone rang, I checked it and I realized there was money. I became so happy to the extent that is started ululating because I knew this money will liberate my from miserable life I lived of doing casual labor."

"The main difference in my daily life is that, I am happy because I am able to afford a balanced diet. I am grateful because I have renovated my house that is now specious enough. My house is no longer dusty because we have floored it with cement hence better living conditions."

"I expect in the next six months to have saved enough money that will necessitate the cementing of my mud house. I believe it shall come to completion and I won't have the burden of smearing my mud house which is time-consuming and it isn't a permanent solution to a dusty floor."

"There is a big change in my life now because I'm constructing an iron roofed house for my self. Am currently sleeping in a grass thatched house with a leaking roof and when it rains I have to lift my bedding and stand at the corner of the house. I will be shifting soon and it is the source of my happiness."

"When I woke up in the morning, I heard my neighbours saying that they had received money from GiveDirectly. When I checked my phone, I found a message indicating that I had received money. I then informed my spouse about the news and our plan that we had agreed (buying a bull) shall be fulfilled on the next market day."

"I saw the message notification early in the morning. On checking, it was from GiveDirectly notifying me that my first transfer had finally been sent. I was overwhelmed with joy for financial support. At first, when Give Directly came to my home I knew they are like other organizations that come and go without doing whatever they had promised. My doubts were erased the moment I saw the message."

"I have witnessed a very great change because my house is now at the roofing level. I am happy that the GiveDirectly cash transfer has made this dream come true. For the past 36 years I have lived in a grass thatched house with no hopes of ever living in an iron roofed house. Nevertheless, I am very grateful that I have built a twp roomed iron roofed house and my life is now better."

"The moment I received my money, I was so happy because it would build me an iron roofed house, and I will be taking a rest from sleeping under a grass thatched house. "

"I expect in the next six month I shall have saved enough money to hold the fourth-year memorial ceremony of my late loving husband since means every to me."
