"The one thing that has changed my life since receiving the transfer is the house. Looking at how my financial position was, I couldn’t imagine that one day I would move out of that poor leaking house of mine. As of now I am happily living in a good-looking iron sheet house. Great appreciation to GiveDirectly for the gift of a good house they presented to my life."

"The fact that I no longer seek for shelter is a big difference in my life. It was shameful sleeping in children’s house but I had no alternative. As of now I am gaining my respect because there was no privacy in the previous house I was staying. I sincerely have nothing to payback to this noble organization for what it did for me. May God bless GiveDirectly and its entire staff for the good and humanitarian work they are doing."

"Receiving a message from GiveDirectly that morning brought forth a lot of happiness. On confirming that it was indeed the message bearing the good news about the transfer, I could not resist the urge to call back the hotline number. I needed to just thank the office for honoring the promise they had given in the past three weeks to support us. Even though the line was so busy that morning, my spouse encouraged me to try it more, and lucky enough it was picked and I was allowed to express my joy over the phone. This was a relief to me from the struggles I have been undergoing in settling all the financial obligations right from the school fees for my children, to the daily household foodstuff."

"The biggest difference after receiving my first transfer is the purchase of an ox that has so far eased our farming practices. I was lucky to have gotten a neighbor with another pair, and a combination to make two pairs makes work even easier. I am glad that I am not limited by finances that I would have used to hire from the neighbor at the moment but can freely ready my farms and plant right at the onset of rain."

"I was alone at home that morning when I received a message notification from GiveDirectly. I could not doubt any information about the transfer after reading the message as I was expecting it that day. I had to withdraw the money after informing other members of my household, and made the first purchase since we had already planned on how to spend them."

"What I spend my recent transfer on: I used part of my transfer to pay my son school fees; the remaining will be use to buy fertilizer for my crops so that my farm can improve. I try farming this year but my crops are dying; so I will use my transfer to improve it because I know when my farm produces more, I will raise enough money for my expenses."

"" I plan to build a better house than what I have currently if I am successful to getting this cash"."

"" I plan to my a better house than what I am in now"."

"" I plan to build a house of my own and move from in this tache hut if I am successful in getting this cash"."

"I was washing at the creek and then i got a message saying i have received money from Give Directly. I was feeling happy and my heart was fill with joy because the money will enable me to build house for myself and pay my children tuitions."
