"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy that I had got money that would help me in a great way like get a piece of farm and and buy some things for my home."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I live each day with a peace of mind. Before; paying my children's fees made me stressed since I couldn't raise money on time. But with this transfer, I paid it on time and can raise the next term's fees by selling the water melon."

"The moment I recieved the money, I was overwhelmed with joy till I couldn't sleep any more. I knew I was going to achieve things that we lacked like agricultural land."

"My daily life has improved in that, I live happily. This is because, this transfer has enabled me commence the construction of a permanent house. Previously, I didn't have money for building yet I lived in a dilapidated structure."

"The moment I received the money, I felt excited. This was the first time for me to recieve such a big sum of money."

"In the next six months, I expect that I shall have bought the building materials like the bricks, poles and iron sheets and my stall will be erect and ready for use. I also wish to use the transfers to buy more stock and boost my business further which will, in turn, increase the levels of income generation. With increased income, my family can now afford the best things that life has to offer without much of a struggle to raise it."

"I hope that I will have cleared all the fees balance that I am currently owing my school so that when I complete high school, my certificate will not be held. With my certificate I can easily apply for a college to further my education and be able to achieve much in life. This is an opportunity my parents gave me in order to bring change back at home and I am happy and grateful for the support I got from Give Directly."

"I want the business I am planning to start on selling clothes to be a steady one that I can rely on so that I can eventually totally quit the current one that I am doing which is seasonal and unreliable. I expect that in the next six months, I will have known whether the business is something to stick by or not, depending on the outcome in terms of sales and profits."

"My expectation in the near future is to be living in a better and bigger house. I currently live in a small grass thatched-roofed house which is almost collapsing. I want to have an ironed roof house that will last longer as compared to the grass-thatched house that I am currently living in. A bigger room will also allow my children to have a more conducive reading area."

"In the next six months, I believe my life will have changed. I will have cemented all the rooms in my house. The cleaning process will have been made easier. Apart from that, my house will last longer. I am also optimistic that I will have started saving part of my transfer towards the purchase of a water tank."
