"My daily life is totally different in that, my health has improved. In the past, my health deteriorated due to stress over how to get money for completing my house and meeting family needs like clothing and fees for my children. In addition, the dust in the house used to infect me and the family with flu."

"The moment I receive the transfer I felt so happy, the excitement was too much I could not sleep from the time the money arrived. I started planning how to spend the transfer there and then."

"The moment I received my money, I became very happy because GiveDirectly had honestly fulfilled its promise to me."

"When I received the mobile money, I called my child to check my phone the next day. When she read the message, I became very happy and even ululated alot with joy. This is because I had never received such an enormous amount of money in my life."

"Currently, my daily life is different in that, I can afford to change clothes and do farming in a more secure manner because I put on my gumboots while in the garden, I want to thank and appeciate GiveDirectly for the support."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months in that I will have completed house building and connected electrically to the house. My children will have enough light and time to study in the evenings. If GiveDirectly visits me in six months' time, you will be surprised by how much improvement in my home has brought to me and especially my children."

"The greatest change in my daily life is that I wake up with joy because my home is now presentable incase I receive visitors. I have plastered my house and this gives me so much joy because I have beautified my house. Previously, my house could host rats that used to create holes on the walls. However, I am now comfortable and happy that I have plastered my house. I could not have done this without the cash transfer from GiveDirectly."

"I was very happy when I received the money. This is because, for so long I had wished to buy a plot of land but didn't have the money."

"It was a round 4:00 am when I heard the message, I came out and went to my co wife's house to request her to help check the message that was in my phone. On checking it, she told me that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I felt happy and went back to sleep until morning when I called my spouse to inform him about the news because he had gone to some far place. He agreed with me on phone to give it time and collect it after two days for the purpose we had agreed."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I'm now going to construct an iron roofed house for my self and I will get relieved from the disturbance of termites that destroy grass thatch."
