"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have added my household's income by starting a small hotel vending business for wife and this is the biggest motivation for us as a family hence getting basic needs for my family has seized to be a problem since we have a reliable source of income.I have also bought the necessary building materials and now I am assured of building a decent house that I have been longing for in a long time.Thanks to GiveDirectly."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is having bought furniture that I was not able to buy on my own. I also managed to clear my children's' school fee thus I'm relieved of the burden and it has also given enough time to save for their next terms school fees. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"My former life was full of stress; I lived in a very tiny house that could not accommodate us well, as widow, fending for my household basic needs was such a huge problem. I could not put food on the table well for my household members and again, I never had source of income help me educate my children but now, things have changed-I educate my children more easily, I have gained financial independence and I live in a better house. My living standard has improved, than it would have been if I never received transfers."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have built a decent spacious three roomed house in my own homestead hence I no longer stay in a leaky grassed thatched house. This has given me alot of peace since it has reduces conflicts which I used to have in-laws while staying in my parent- in- law's homestead."

"In my own opinion, Give Directly get it right by giving out money as opposed to material goods that perish. But it would consider enrolling a better number into the program since majority of the poorest were still left out."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I now am very happy since I have started a foundation for my new house something that I never knew could happen.Thank you GD for the transfer"

"My children are back to school having paid school fees and hopefully I will build a house are my biggest difference in my daily life."
