"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer prepare food in the main house as before now that I have a kitchen which helps even my children in sleeping so they no longer sleep at my neighbour's as before."

"I have been a widow for three years and since then I have been living in a house that was almost falling and being that I'm alone with other responsibilities to meet there is nothing I could do about it. Thanks to Gd I managed to renovate my house and it's now in good shape, my family and I are now proud of it and we feel safe in it. I also managed to pay part of school fee for my children so I now feel less burdened because the fee arrears is not as much a s it was."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is, I have a very nice house I can boast about. My previous one was not presentable at all. Thanks to GiveDirectly."

"The moment I received my first transfer, I felt very happy and the first person's I shared the good news to were my children since I am widow and my children are always my consolation in good times and bad.I can say that at the moment my life is better off because I am sure of a daily income out of the fishing-nets which I hire to the fishermen in a nearby shore.I am greatful to GiveDirectly for empowering most of the less- privileged group financially like me."

"When I received the money, I was very happy and prayed to God for his blessings and thanked GD for the life changing transfer which I never expected and it came as a surprise."

"I am seeing a big difference in my life because I have always wanted to have my compound but due to limited resources I haven't been able to do it. Finally I already have the materials needed and I'm moving to my compound tomorrow, this makes me feel independent and so happy about it. Thank you Gd for your support."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have been able to see my children pass through the very vital stages of their lives that could have not been a success without the transfers from GiveDirectly. I was able to celebrate my elder son's pass out after graduating from the military college and has been posted to serve the country as a soldier, using the first transfer. My other son has also been able to get his diploma certificate and is now ready join the university using the second transfer.Thank You So much GiveDirectly!! My family and I are very grateful. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now hopeful of setting my own compound, something I've wanted for years but couldn't manage due to financial constraints. I also managed to get my child to high school, I never thought it would be possible because I had to hustle so much for the basic needs."

"The moment l received the transfer l was very happy that l even share with my neighbors a bout it."

"The moment I received my first transfer, I felt very since I was certain of achieving most of my plans which I couldn't accomplish before due to financial instabilities.At the moment I am sure of my living standards will improve positively at the end of the cash transfers phase."
