"My life is different in that I was able to build a two roomed iron roofed house. This would have not been possible had I not received the cash transfer because before the cash transfers, I was sleeping in a grass thatched house."

Mariam
received a $454 second payment.
"Life has improved because I'm no-longer stressed and I have a lot of happiness in my daily life. I used to have a problem of ploughing during farming seasons which will not be the case anymore since I have bought my own livestock. I could hire labor for ploughing which was expensive and it could not be done on time because people tend to work on their farms first. I was always diagnosed with ulcers because of over thinking but after I received these transfers I have never been diagnosed with it."

Rose
received a $454 second payment.
"I was living in a dilapidated house before GiveDirectly came to my rescue. However my life is much different now in that I live in a good house that I renovated with the cash transfers. More so I was able to clear my debts and I will be able to pay school fees for my children. My life would have been so horrible had I not received the cash transfers."

Stephen
received a $454 second payment.
"First of all I see my life far because I planned to go for a loan to complete payment for a piece of land. When this opportunity came I was able to complete the payment for the piece of land and my mind is settled now because I did not get a loan which would have burdened me for a very long time."
