"The biggest difference in my life is the newly constructed house, spacious and decent, all this was not possible before because I didn't have a reliable source of income, receiving this money has been of great assistance to my family and me, in addition, our guest can comfortably come over because the house is spacious and it can now accommodate them, lastly I managed to clear fee arrears for my school-going children I am so happy and thankful that I was able to accomplish my dreams within a short period, I am grateful that GiveDirectly has lifted my living standard to a better and a higher level in my society."

"I had started building a house, though, the project was left halfway due to inadequate funds, when I received my transfer I saw it as an opportunity for me to continue with the construction, therefore the biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to put together the building materials together, In addition to that, I managed to clear the school fees arrears. I am hopeful that I will be able to complete the house once my second transfer is dispersed. I am grateful for the support that gave meaning to my life and brought so much joy to my home."

"My life is different now because I have managed to build a decent house for my family, I was unable to construct one due to an unreliable source of income, therefore, I did not have a choice but to live in a very small house that we could afford together with the goats, I am so happy and thankful that I was able to accomplish my dream within a short period, I am grateful that GiveDirectly has lifted my living standard to a better and a higher level in my society."

"The Day we got the alert that we have received the money, I ha6f left the phone at the charging place. I was in disbelief and very happy when I saw that i had received the money From Give Directly."

"I feel like GD covers a number of recipients than other NGOs. The money we receive is also enough to do a lot of things."

"This second transfer i have used part of it to buy things for my existing business,i sell rice and clothes the other part i have used it to buy farm inputs such as fertiliser and seeds."

"The biggest difference in my life is that now I am able to afford things."

"I spent my transfers on buying a mattress, bugs of maize and I also bought wood for my house I want to start making some constructions on it and then also used the transfers for my son's education he is in boarding school."

"Our current challenge face now is, we don't have money to meet our needs. Becasue I don't have money, it makes it difficult for me to send my children to school and provide household needs."
