"I received money when I was coming from fetching water in a river.I was so happy and thankful to Give Directly."

"The moment I recieved my money, I felt so happy."

"My life would be different than it would have been if I had not recieved the transfer in that, I would not be able to off set the financial issues that I had."

"My new goal is to buy a livestock for rearing."

"My life will change because I will be able to have a new house with full house items such as a new bed, mattress and other household items such as utensils that will be of help to me and my family."

"By early 2019, I see myself in our new house and being stable as a family. We currently live in a house that I built after school long ago. It is thatched and old because I built it in 2006 and married in 2011. Mud houses wear out fast. The new one will be of wooden walls and that is an advancement for us. I feel so light within, no stress nor anxieties of life anymore. May God Bless Give Directly and us all. Thank you for the funds."

"My new goal is to repair my house that is not in a very good state. Currently it is not a nice house."

"I'm now at peace knowing that I managed to expand the house that I have longed for but I couldn't afford. This how my life is currently different from the way it would have been had I not received money from GiveDirectly."

"In the next six months,I expect my life to have changed for the best with my kraal hosting livestock. I will also be milking too like my neighbours."

"I was the first one to receive this money among all the recipients I knew.I think I was the first in my all village.I was feeling unwell and just sleeping and bored but the news of receiving this transfer got me on my feet.I immediately felt good and began to plan and spend the money for my family."
