"The moment I received my transfer I felt so good. I have not seen that kind of money my entire life. I'm an old lady. For the past thirteen years my husband has been ill. The sickness caused his blindness. My children have been assisting us. Feeding us and catering to our daily needs. I am so grateful for this amazing opportunity. I was excited when I received my transfer. Hopefully after receiving all the transfers our living condition will improve."

"No! I have no new goals.My goal has been to build a decent house. I have not been able to achieve it due to lack of money. I cut palm and make oil. Take the oil to local markets for sale. Sometimes the business don't go well. Due to the economy now the customers buy small quantity and don't pay full amount. I was so excited when GIVEDIRECTLY came to my village. I was overwhelmed when I received my transfer. My dreams will now come to pass."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is not doing anything unwell. I'm so grateful for its cash program. It is a great opportunity to improve our lives. I am amazed by how they live up to their promise. This is a life changer."

"I have not withdrawn my money. When I do,I want to plaster my house. I also plan on sending some of the money to my children in Monrovia for their tuition and upkeep. I was so excited when I received my money. Things got difficult for me. I could hardly afford my family needs. I am thankful for this opportunity. Hopefully after this program our lives will get better."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving transfers from GiveDirectly is that I can now provide my daily needs. I no longer worry about how I will eat. I no longer stress my children out to provide food for me. I can now afford my own food. I am so thankful for this life changing opportunity. Hopefully after receiving all of the transfers my family life will improve."

"Since I started receiving cash transfer from Givedrectly, it feels like my dream has come true because, I bought some materials to start building my house, and I have food to eat on time. I been in this village for the past ten years burning coal just to survive. I am so happy now that I am about to build my own house. Upon receiving my second cash transfer, I will start mooding bricks to build my house. Thanks to Givedrectly for helping move my life forward."

"I was in the firm weeding my crop when I heard my mobile phone ringing. Being illiterate and with short sight, I took my phone to the helper to interpret the message for me. He disclosed the good news that I had received the transfer. I was so happy and I started the planning of traveling to the Mpesa to withdraw the transfer."

"Owning livestock is the biggest difference in my daily life. Previously, the charcoal vending job that I was doing could not earn me enough income to support myself. I am now assured that my children will learn without any interruption, I will sell the livestock once they reproduce to cater for the education of my children."

"I spent KES 3000 to pay the school fees for my 3 children who are still in lower primary school. I had not been paying their school fees for 5 months. In addition, I bought enough food supply for the family since we had a famine in our area. Furthermore, I used KES 14,000 to purchase 4 goats, I am planning to sell the male offspring to educate my children as well as meet my basic needs when they multiply. I also bought a mattress for KES 2800, this is because I was using sacks that were uncomfortable to sleep on. Lastly, I paid off my debt of KES 4000 at the nearby shop when I had been taking foodstuffs on credit."
