"Yes. I'm planning to build my house. I have been living in my mother in law house since I got married. My husband and kids have been suffering for a very long time. My husband is not working because he's schooling. I never had money to build my house. Since I got my transfer from GiveDirectly I decided to use it wisely to build my house and change my entire life."

"The transfer brought a very big difference in our lives as a family. We were able to clear the school fee balances for our three children who are in secondary school. We were hence able to have some peace of mind because we were no longer worried about where to get the money to do so. The children were hence able to study well without being sent home all through the second term of the year. With having cleared the school fee, I was able to save up some of the money from the vegetable vending business and I bought a few chickens. I was also able to save up some money in the self-help groups that I have joined. I plan to use the money that I will get from the merry-go-round contributions on buying a goat. This goat is going to be of great help to us in future since I can sell some of its offsprings and use the money on paying school fees for the children."

"Before the cash transfer life was very bad with me. I make farm before I eat. I have four children and two are out of school, but will put them back in school since I received the cash. Thanks to Give Directly for the assistance given us."

"I was feeling fine,and very happy when I received the cash transfer. This is mine very first time to receive any money of such."

"I have not yet spent the cash transfer send me, because I will buy a lot of land with this first transfer. The second and up to the last transfer will be used to build my own house. Thanks for the assistance Give Directly."

"The cash transfer send me assisted in paying my children and grandchildren tuitions."

"Before the cash transfer, I lived in a house which is roofed with tash, but since I got the cash I decided to buy a bundle of zinc and start a project which will enable my family have a comfortable place to sleep."

"The moment I saw the message on my phone, with excitement I started rolling on the ground and shouting with joy that even my kids got shocked by my reaction, but I didn't cared cause I was so much happy. Friendly speaking, I have never received or worked for such an amount before in my life."

"The transfer has brought a very big difference in our lives as a family. We were able to buy a cow with part of the transfer. With the cow, I no longer go out in the morning to purchase milk for preparing breakfast for my family. We hence no longer incur the cost of buying milk. We were also able to purchase a bag of maize which we are still consuming up to now. With fewer food costs, we have been able to save up the money that we make from the motorcycle business."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly work is exceptional. This is the only NGO I have seen that gives unconditional cash transfer. The workers are not corrupt. They do thier work straight. I don't think GiveDirectly needs to improve on anything."
