"The biggest difference in my daily life is seeing that my family had what to feed on during this trying moment of lock down."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the feeling of delight within myself knowing that I now own personal assets (the cows that will reproduce) and will be looked at in the community as a responsible family man. Before getting this money, I was always considered a no body because I did not have any personal assets."

"My daily life's biggest difference is the joy I feel when ever I look at my twins knowing that it was with the help of this transfer that I was able to go to hospital and have a safe delivery given the lock down situation. Prior to getting this transfer, I was always worried about how to bribe my way to get to hospital in time. (Some people in my locality and far beyond lost their children and almost their lives since they had no money to bribe their way to hospital and ended up either delivering on the way, at their homes or lost their new born babies)"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the supper exceeding joy I am now feeling because I received money that has helped me to start up a business that will be income generating to my family. I fell stress free as well because initially I doubted receiving this money since it was long over due."

"Before this cash transfer, I used to suffer from paptic ulcer because I could stress myself on how to secure my children's future. Putting in mind that I am single mother with lots of responsibilities and at the samtime staying with my parents. Nevertheless, I was opportuned to deposite for a plot of land where I intend to set up a home for my children."

"I felt very excited because I was certain to buying an ox and household items like clothes for my children."

"Having a very spacious house of our own constructed using the transfer has brought a lot of happiness to my family and taken away the shame of living in a borrowed house. We were totally unable to raise enough money to purchase the required materials to construct a house of out own due to low income, so we requested one of my husband's brothers to let us live in his old house which he abandoned after constructing a better one. Having a roof over our heads was good, but it carried a lot of shame with it and we are very grateful to Give Directly for taking away the shame."

"I heard the message at around six am and on confirmation, I realized that it was the transfer. I had to wake up my husband to share the good news and it was in deed a joyous moment for us. The excitement of receiving the money was too overwhelming to continue lying in bed, so we got up and prepared for our daily duties so that we could also have time to decide what we wanted to buy among all the needs that we had."

"When I received my first transfers, I felt so happy as what I had been promised had just been fulfilled. I felt so happy about what I had just received as we had been promised that the money was unconditional and I had big plans for it. I knew that all shall come to pass."

"When I received the message that early morning, I checked its content and when I saw that I had received my first transfers I felt so happy. I knew that my dream of owning a cow would come true. Again I knew that I would actualize my dream of having tap water on my door step."
