"I expect my life to improve and become much easier. Once I buy water tank, the several trips to and from the river will be a thing of the past. This will also ensure that I have enough water to drink and for domestic use and cases of bad health because of water will be out. I also expect to buy a cow for rearing that will be a source of milk for use at home and the extra can be sold. I want to enjoy my old age!"

"I was in my home that morning as I got prepared in order to go and open my shop. That is when I heard an incoming notification on my phone. On checking it, I was overwhelmed with happiness as the message indicated that I had received the money I had anxiously been waiting for from GiveDirectly. This message gave me hopes of reviving my shop."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I now have my high school certificate and my result slip. I can now go to college and achieve my dreams of studying Building and Construction Engineering. I never imagined I could ever clear my fees and obtain my certificate. I had lost hope already as there was no where I could ever get the money to clear the school fees arrears. Give Directly has greatly changed my life."

"The notification came at the time I least expected it. I was always in distress on how to make my life better but solutions were not forthcoming. I felt so happy and knew that at least I was going to move a level higher than where I was."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to treat my son who is currently hospitalized after being diagnosed with sickle cell. It will be a huge relief for me to see my son well and healthy again. With the remaining amount, I will invest in a business of selling second hand clothes that will help me cater for food, education and also clearing debts that we have incurred due to my son's condition. "

"Receiving this money means I will resume college where I was learning skills in hair and beauty. This is because I love plaiting hair and making people look beautiful. With part of the transfers, I will also buy oxen and an ox plough to aid me in farming, and a few goats which I can sell when emergencies arise. "

"My goals are to complete my education and to live a fulfilling and better life that I have always wanted. I now see myself completing school and getting a good job that will give me a better life of wealth than the poverty I grew up in."

"The biggest difference is that the transfer has enabled me to meet the full cost of building a semi-permanent house which was difficult for me previously due to unstable financial status. I am now living in my new house which I built using the GiveDirectly funds. This always makes me so happy when I remember where I used to live."
