"I feel excited daily. When I think of where I was in poverty and how my life has changed, I can't stop celebrating GiveDirectly. I was sleeping on clothes in a very old house. but with my transfer, I bought new matress. I can now have a good sleep and sweet dreams. GiveDirectly thank you for my transfer."

"I spent my most recent transfer on zinc and nails. I lived in a very old house that leaks when ever rain falls. I am a government school teacher, but the government delay my salary something up to three months. I have bought a zinc to improve my house, because I was ashame of my own living place. I will soon change my house roof and make it a conducive place to live.I appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer."

"I differed my college education two years ago because of lack of school fees and decided to get married. Life has been difficult since I cannot secure any job due to lack of enough education documents. I am currently a housewife carrying out household chores. Living with the reality of not being able to finish my studies pains me off."

"GiveDirectly did well because they enabled us to build another house that is roofed with iron sheets. This is something that we never thought that we will be able to achieve. Apart from that, the lives of many people in the community were uplifted because they were able to make many developments with the transfers. Most of them built new houses that are roofed with iron sheets while some bought livestock and many more. We are all happy and hence I would urge GiveDirectly to keep up the good work."

""I intend to build a concrete and zinc house when I receive this transfer because I'm very tired of palpus house now. When you build a three to four bedroom palpus house it does not even take long for it to wear out. Between one to two years everything gets rotten starting wirh the palpus and the roof begins to leak because it's made of thatch only. Right now I'm unable to send my children to school through to the lack of finance. So, the next thing I would be thinking of or planning to do would be enrolling my girls into school when I receive this money."

"The biggest difference this transfer has made in my daily life are, I have developed hope of sleeping in a decent house in this Village. SecondIy, I was in deep worried about how to generate money to send my children to school this year. Now, with receiving this transfer from Givedirectly , I have gone to my children school campus to ask for their tuitions.I am grateful to Givedirectly for the support cash support and I believe that with my transfer, some of my burning issues with be settle."

"I was so so happy when I received my money. I have not been working or making business. Sometimes I dont get food to eat I have to ask family members for assistance. At first I was afraid of the GiveDirectly cash program because of stories told by some community people. Though I didn't believe those stories were real, I didn't believe that GiveDirectly will give out cash without asking for anything in return. But I decided to accept and give it a try. Now they have changed my life for the best. I was overwhelmed when I received the money and I know my life will get better after receiving rest of the transfers."

"The moment I received this transfer I knew my life has changed for the best. It's a privilege being enrolled on the GiveDirectly cash program. I'm thankful for this opportunity. It was my first time seeing such money.Money I didn't have to do any work for. Our family burden have been on me alone. My children dropped from scbool because I couldn't afford their tuition. I was so excited when I saw the money. I'm grateful that our my children will complete their education and they will have a brighter future."

I'm so thankful to God for this opportunity. GiveDirectly is changing our lives fod the better and we're thankful for it. Its very exciting."

"Things were hard on me. Our house was not in a good condition. I also couldn't afford all of my family needs. Before getting on this program I paid some of my children tuition and left the others due to lack of money. Fortunately,I was opportuned to get enrolled on the GiveDirectly cash program. Upon receiving the transfer I paid the rest of my children tuition and some school items. I also bought some building materials to renovate our house and few bags of rice for my wife to start a new business. I'm so excited for the opportunity. With this business our lives will getter better and my children witll have a brighter future."
