"The biggest difference in my life is that I now own a bull that is going to facilitate ploughing of my farm land. I used to offer causual labour in exchange of oxen and this has become history."

"The moment I received my money, I felt happy because I was going to acquire what I needed in my life like transportation means and Livestock (an ox) for ploughing."

"My life has changed a lot because right now I have my own motorbike and I do not have to work for someone, I have a lot of freedom because I have my own freedom apart from pocketing every coin that I make on a day to day basis."

"My life is different now in that, I'm so happy because I have managed to acquire items that I didn't have previously for example, a bull, household items like (mattress, clothes, shoe). I'm very happy because I have been able to replace my groundnut seeds which I had sold to treat my child."

"I felt so happy the moment I saw the mobile money notification on my phone, I ululated and danced for the money sent to me by GiveDirectly. I thanked God for touching the hearts of GiveDirectly's donors for because of him I was able to benefit from the program. I never imagined I would get this large sum of money because I have never witnessed anyone giving out unconditional cash transfers ever since I was born."

"The biggest change in my daily life is that, I sleep well and live a happy life. This is because, I have acquired beddings, an ox and reposed the acres of land that were in the hands of the money lender. Previously, I planted my crops late and had only an acre of land to grow my crops. This therefore led to low yields and food shortage in my family."

"I received a message from GiveDirectly at a bout 7:00 am indicating that I had received money from GiveDirectly, I shared with my spouse who joined me to ululate for joy. The joy came because, transfers would help the family to pay of the debt for the land that was mortgaged in order to pay school fees."

"The moment I received my money from GiveDirectly, I became very happy because I have never got that amount of money in my entire life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have cleared my children's school fees on time and it is a great joy to me. My children would have not gone to school if it wasn't for this transfer."

"Currently, I am happy because I own a cow for milk production and acting as an investment, I hired land for crop cultivation and can now afford to eat well using GiveDirectly's cash transfer."
