"There is a lot of happiness unlike before, I used to stay at home whole day because I didn't have money. I'm more so happy that I have a spouse in the house, Even if I'm out there I know I have someone at home taking care."

"The moment when I saw the message of the money, I felt very happy because I had a lot of problems that needed money. For example, my house needed renovation."

"my life has been different in that we have had an opportunity to be self reliant as a family. Before Give directly came in, i did a lot of casual labour to meet the family's needs and also save to pay school fees for my children. This reduced the stress on my side and provided me with an opportunity to relax and have peace of mind."

"The moment I checked my phone and found the money, I was over joyed."

"The moment I received the money, I felt very excited because this was a record breaking amount I received in my life."

"It was 8:30 am in morning when I heard the message enter my phone. When my daughter helped me to read it, she told me that it was the money from GD. This made me feel very happy for the rest of that day."

"It has always been my dream to build myself a house back at home since I used to sleep at my neighbors' house whenever I visited. When I received my first transfers, I spent part of it in buying building materials and in building my house. I spent the remaining amount in paying my house rent since I had not paid for that month and it was overdue."

"It was in the evening as I was going on with my daily activities when one of my friends called to ask whether I had received money from GD and I informed him that I had not. After terminating the call, I decided to check my M-Pesa balance and to my surprise, the money was there. At that instant, I was filled with happiness and I left my place of work since I feared that maybe someone knows that I have some money and attack me at night while going home."

"What an excitement I felt when I received my first cash transfer! I knew I would complete my heartfelt dream."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I now sleep in a better house and soon, I will be completing another one for my children hence better living conditions for the entire household. "
