"The moment I received the message of the money in my phone, I felt very happy and begun to dance."

"My life is different in that I have put on weight because I eat a balanced diet. I have also bought oxen and hence fourth I will also be ploughing in time."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I can now afford to feed on a variety of food and food is relatively adequate at the household compared to the past. Before, I used to spend a lot of time doing casual work in order to buy food, ate once but now we can eat twice a day."

"My life is different in that, I now sleep well in my permanent house which I have constructed using my transfers. My family can also afford to change clothes on a daily basis, which was not like before when I used to sleep in leaking house and could put on the same clothe for a bout a week. I could not have managed to get what I have now If I never received my transfer."

"I am happy because the cash transfers enabled me to finance my marriage and wedding, which were a success. Had I not received the cash transfers, I would not have been able to finance my wedding and even complete my house. I would have incurred many debts had I not received the cash transfers."

"The moment I received the news of the money, first and far most I heard my community members ululating and too excited; then I asked my children to check my account too for the money because I suspected that the GD transfers had been sent. And when they told me that I had received the transfer, I felt deep in my inside too much joy and even my body parts that were in pain got relieved because of this."

"My life is very different now, we are able to dress well and food is available in my household. I have also got my livestock which will help me in the future and am debt free."

"In the next six months, I expect to have completed the construction of our new house. This would at least improve my happiness since we would be having a clean home with more space in the house for my children to read and sleep. We are praying to God that all our plans to establish that new house will go through."

"The biggest difference is that I have a steady income from my fish business and a future expectation of income from my sugarcane and sweet potatoes. This has enabled me to pay school fees for my children and bought new school uniforms for them. Before my children were constantly sent home for fees and this interfered with their performance at school. Their school uniforms were old and torn that made other students make fun of them. I am hopeful that there will be an improvement now that I can keep them in school having cleared their fee arrears. They also look neat in their new school uniforms this makes me a proud a mother and builds their confidence all thanks to GD."

"I am very happy and relaxed now because with the cash transfers I am able to acquire basic necessities. I also acquired property that I never dreamed of possessing before. Had I not received the cash transfer, my life would have been so terrible. I would have engaged in gambling and other criminal activities."
