"My life is different than it would have been because I am happy to have food in the house and to have acquired livestock. "

"My life is different than it would have been because I sleep more comfortably with a mattress than before, and my health has improved. "

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that am now stress free especially after buying the animals that am going to give to my in-laws as dowry. A part from that I also bought my Oxen that are going to facilitate ploughing on time. I used to hire oxen at a cost amidst high competition, this resulted into low yields or no harvest at all in the years I failed to hire. Am grateful to Give Directly for the transfer."

"My life is different in that I now sleep in an iron sheet roofed house which I never thought it would happen in my life because I could not afford. But the GD cash transfers made it possible."

"I was very happy when I got the message from the organization. When I saw the message I just said to myself that indeed God remembers His people at the time when they need him the most, and all prayers never go unanswered."

"My life is different in that my lifestyle has changed in form of feeding, clothing well and sleeping comfortably. Before, this was next to a dream."

"I used part of the money to upgrade my life by purchasing some household items such a television and a gas cooker. I then used the rest of it to start my own business. I settled on a shoe business because it is something I had done a year ago but it collapsed due to poor planning. I know it will do well because I am wiser now and more responsible."

"I was very happy when I received the money because I had been expecting it for some time. This was because I had planned to use some of it to clear a debt I owed my friend who was constantly calling to ask when I would pay back his money."

"To me, receiving this transfer was like a spring of water that suddenly emerged in a desert! Initially I had no lighting in my household but now with the solar panel I bought, all is well as I can comfortably charge my phone and read without any challenges. This has also created an opportunity for me to earn some income by charging my neighbor's phones at small fee."

"Receiving this money means I will have enough milk for my family and even sell some for an extra source of income. It also means that I will be able to pay school fees for my daughter in secondary school since finding a casual job so as to have enough money for school fees and food is so hard. The income from will also help paying school fees and taking care of my family."
