"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now living happily after clearing the fee arrears for my children. Previously, They were constantly sent home for school fees something kept me worried about their future. Currently, they are learning without any interruption something that had restored my happiness. In addition, I have livestock as an investment for their education."

"At that particular time I was at home washing dishes after having lunch with my family. I heard my phone ring and I couldn't belive my eyes on checking it. It dawned on me that my dream of purchasing livestock and laying school fees arears for my faugter was finally going to come to pass. I shared the news with my daughter who was equally very happy"

"That day I was at home relaxing after taking my lunch. I least expected the money around that time although we had been informed that we were going to receive the money sometime that month. I felt so happy knowing very well that my dream of buying a new sewing machine(singer) would become a reality. I took a breath, relaxed and reorganized my plans again. I was overwhelmed that my life and that of my children was going to change for the better considering that I am a single mother."

"I do not have any new goals. My goal has always been to live in a better home and to see my children become future leaders. Things have been difficult for my family. I am just a poor farmer. I struggle to get food for my family. I am so grateful for the GiveDirectly program. I am thankful that I got enrolled. I was happy when I got enrolled. My life will now get better."

"One of the biggest differences in my life since I started receiving transfers is that I can now afford my daily meal. Before I started receiving transfer from GiveDirectly things were a bit difficult for me. I could hardly afford my daily meal. I had to move in with my brother. Now I am grateful I will be able to build my own house. I wont have to depend on my brother for assistance anymore. With this transfer my life will never be the same again."

"I am thankful for GiveDirectly cash program. I was so excited when I received my transfer. Things have been difficult for my family. We hardly get food to eat. Sometimes we eat boiled cassava and we don't get any other food to eat after that till the next day. I used some of my money to start a business. I also bought rice and some other food items. I used the balance to pay my fees."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does not do anything wrongly. It gives us unlimited cash and ask for nothing in return. The cash program helps us cater to our needs. It reduces our stress. That is amazing. That they don't accept gifts of goodwill from us as villagers makes us feel a bit bad. That is just our way of appreciating them for giving us money that we don't do any work for. GiveDirectly is helping us improve our lives and we grateful for this."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is not doing anything unwell. We are poor people. We can hardly afford our family needs. With this GiveDirectly cash program, our lives will never be the same again. Our lives will improve. This cash program is an amazing opportunity. It is making our dreams to come to pass. Our children continuing their education. Being able to build a decent house for ourselves is overwhelming. We are so grateful for this."

"I am a farmer. I take produce from my farm to local markets to sell for little amount. With the economy in our country now a days,customers hardly buy the goods.Things have been a bit difficult. My goal has always been to build a new house. I have not been able to do that because of insufficient funds. I was so happy when I received my transfer. I am so grateful that I got enrolled in the GiveDirectly cash program. My dreams will come to pass."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am currently able to meet the needs of my family without much struggle. Previously, I had to work the whole day doing charcoal burning a job that is tiresome and low-paying. In most instances, we were going to bed without food for 2 days every week. At the moment, my kids are happy and enjoy eating healthy."
