"When I saw the message on my phone that I have received money from Give Directly, I was very happy and felt like I have gotten the whole world. This came as a surprise and a sign of re-establishment/reconnection to society in Life. Because receiving such huge money with just no cost attached was like a dream to me."

"When I received my first transfer from Give Directly, I was very happy and started to dance. I felt at ease. I means, I felt like the whole world was in my hand."

"Receiving the transfer was like and miracle to me. I never believe what my eyes could see for the first time until the entire town started celebrating. It was my first moment in Life to unexpectedly to received such a huge money for free. I was so excited to the extend that I had to run from one point to another"

"Before the program could cover me, life was very difficult for me. I used to set traps and make farms just to survive. Life in this jungle is very hard because we have to do labour work for survival. Things became very stressful for me during the heat of the COVID and even after however, Life started getting very easy for me when I received my first transfer. When I received my first transfer, I bought motorbike for business purpose. Right now, I have started running traffic with the bike and making my own money. I am so happy for the Give Directly program in changing my hardship to a good Life."

"From my own point of view, GiveDirectly has been doing quite well in reaching out to poor people like us by giving us enough money to improve our livelihood. This organization has been very fair in choosing qualified household from hard to reach town like ours. I'm so blessed to be benefiting from this project that has changed the livelihood of me and my entire family. Am overwhelmed about this good gesture coming from GiveDirectly."

"I was never able to accomplish these plans because of the lack of money. I am feeling fine for getting this money because I wanted to accomplish certain goals like plastering my house and School feels of my children and also paying my sick son treatment in the sick bush. I"

"This money will be meaningful to me because i have been willing to have a house with ironsheets and i will be able to have it because this grass thatched house during rainy season is not habitable we end up sleep on one side because the rest of the area is wet, i will also buy food because i currently dont have any, i have to look for a piece of work and that's when i can feed myself and my child, mostly i go for farming in people's farms inorder to have something and i will also buy Matress because i need it im tired of sleeping on a very hard place my body want to feel a better life and thatnk you Givedirectly."

"I have been planning how to make my life a better one as a young man coming up in life. Due to the hardship I am facing, it is hard for me to archieve the goals of my life. I have been doing so many businesses but these businesses can not improve due to limited funding. The coming of GiveDirectly into our town had brought happiness into our town. I am happy also because my transfer will help me a lot to accomplish my goals."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I've received my transfer from GiveDirectly is that, I am able to gather enough food for my family. I'm also able to set up a new business and send my children to school. I am so grateful for this opportunity. GiveDirectly has done extremely well for us. Our lives has improved for the best."

"No.I don't have any new goals.My primary goal was to buy a new mattress,radio,some cutlasses and a file. I'm going to stick to my goals before receiving this transfer.I also saved some of the money to pay workers to cut sticks and build a new house because the one I live in is not in a good condition. Being enrolled on this program is very overwhelming and I'm thankful that my life is about to get better."
