"I went to attend a burial when my called me to check if I receive the transfer from GiveDirectly because back home almost every households that were for the cash transfer program were rejoicing. Immediately I left and went to the network spot to check. When I get to the network spot, I received a message notification that I have received transfer from GiveDirectly. With happiness I called my wife and told her the good news. Right after the burial, I went to cash out the money."

"Through the transfers I was able to buy zinc, nails, cement, and planks. I was also able to pay the builder who is going to build my house. My family and I are very happy that the materials to use in building the house are all available. It would have taken me another decades to have my own house if GiveDirectly had not come my way. I pray that God continues to shower his blessings on GiveDirectly."

"I am a fisher man. I have never owned a canoe before. I have been helper on a friend of mine canoe for years. Fish was not dying anymore. Things started to get difficult for my family.. I could not afford my children tuition the past school year. If not for GiveDirectly's cash program, my children wouldn't have gone to school this year. I was so happy when I received my transfer. Now I can happily boast of my children being in a better school. Our future will be better than now. I'm grateful."

"GiveDirectly's cash program is a life changer. It is doing so much good for us.That they don't accept gifts of goodwill from us is something we as villagers feels that they are not doing well. We try to appreciate them in our weak way, but they always refuse our gifts. We are grateful for this opportunity, we know our lives will now get better."

"No! I had no new goals before receiving this transfer. My old goal has been to get a house of my own. Things have been difficult for me. I could no longer afford to take care of my family. I moved in with my uncle. My mother assists me with my daughter. She lives with my mother. I am a tailor. Sometimes I hardly get customers. I can hardly afford my daily meal. I am so excited for this program. I was overwhelmed when I received my transfer. My life will never be the same again."

"No! I have no new goals.I am a farmer. my husband cuts palmnuts and we make oil to sell at local markets. The business wasn't going too well. Things began to get difficult. We could no longer afford our children tuition due to lack of money. I am thankful now that with this GiveDirectly cash program, our lives will never be the same again. My children are now in school. My house is not in a good condition. I have always wanted to build a new house. I've not been able to do so due to lack of money. I am so thankful for this opportunity."

"I have been struggling with my children. I was so excited when I received my transfer. This GiveDirectly's cash program is a dream come through. Hopefully, after receiving all the payments our lives will get better. I used some of my transfer to pay my children tuition. I used the rest of the money to start a new business. I had no where to stay. My husband left me with our children and went away with another woman. Things have been so difficult for me. I could hardly afford our daily needs."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by visiting every household in the community to determine their eligiblity. In this way no household that is to be enrolled is left out. Moreover, the decision on how to spend my transfer is left with me as a recipient. No one tells me how to spend my money. I have not seen anything that GiveDirectly is doing wrongly."

"Upon receiving my next transfer from givedirectly I'm now able to build a new house. More especially house with zinc and cement.it has been very difficult for me to even provide for my children. Even to pay their tuition has been a major challenge for me."

"The biggest difference in my life is that,upon receiving this transfer I'm planned to build a very descent house. Life has been very difficult for me and my family. My children tuition to even paid it has been very difficult for me. But with the help from givedirectly I'm able now to pay their tuition."
