"The biggest difference in my daily life is owning my house. I had been frustrated where I was living which was my late mother's house where my things could be disorganised because anyone could get access to the house. I also did not enjoy the freedom of staying late because the house could be locked meaning I had to wake my brother or sister in law to get the key to the house which was uncomfortable."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is owning my dream house where I stay comfortably. Most of the people could not believe that I could build such a beautiful house. I can only thank GiveDirectly for making my dream come true."

"With the current ease in life, I am trying my best to ensure that I accumulate and put a stock of timber and frames in my house in preparation to start my own carpentry shop. I also have a plan to purchase a power saw and hire someone who will be using it in cutting more timber since I will be operating in a workshop which I really hope to see it grow."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I am less stressed because I have been able to achieve my goal of taking up a teaching course."

"With the current plans and and xpeace in our household, I have grrat expectation and in the next six months, my livestock farming will have picked. I have a plan to obtain goats for the start which God's willing will breed and grow to a better numbeer. we will in turn sell some in order to purchase a heifer. It is our prayer that GiveDirectly will still stay inour village to see our village transform into a better village."

"I expect my life to change in the next six month in that I will have started a business of buying and selling goats, I will use the profit to buy a dairy cow and this will enable me and my family to cut the cost of buying milk."

"I was always planning to build a house for a long time but my dream of owning one never came true until GiveDirectly came to my village and it's because of their financial support that I built my own house. So far this is the biggest difference that the transfer has brought into my life as I no longer shelter in my neighbors house like before."

"I had been a fishmonger for a very long time until a time came when I lacked the capital to run this business. When Givedirectly came to my village, the hope to revive my business was rejuvenated and the transfer brought life to my business again. Through this business, I will be able to earn an income for upkeep and my childrens school fees. To me this is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"Receiving the transfer to me brought great joy into my family and I felt like I have finally been freed from a bondage of poverty that had struck me for a long time. For the first time, I felt God was fulfilling my hearts desires through GiveDirectly."

"The moment I received an SMS indicating that I had received money from GiveDirectly, I was filled with happiness and we had to celebrate as family. I have been a charcoal burner for so long and receiving this money brought peace into my family as we no longer lack some of the basic things we need."
