"I had begun constructing a new house to live in with my family, for the one I was living in previously was small and could not accommodate us all. I was not able to complete the roofing since the materials got depleted in the process. The transfer enabled me to buy the remaining materials which include iron sheets and my new spacious house is now complete. It would have taken me much longer to finish the construction were it not for the financial support from GiveDirectly, which makes it be the biggest difference in my daily life."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy because I have never got such an amount of money in my life."

"That moment I received my money, I felt so happy within my heart. This is because it would help solve my money problems. "

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy to be one of those that God has blessed with such an amount of money. "

"That moment I received my money, I didn't believe it to be true, not until the mobile money agent passed me the cash, that's when reality hit my life."

"My daily life is different because I am happy my children go to school, and sleep better with a mattress which was not the case before. "

"My daily life's biggest difference is the fact that together with my husband, we were able to start an income generating activity (business) of buying and selling goats and fish that now is helping us to cater for all our needs as they come. Prior to getting this transfer, my husband and I used to do casual labor to cater for our family needs."

"I would want to buy household items such as utensils which I do not have in my house."

"In the next six months, I would want to use the profit from the business to give my children the best in their needs. I know my business will be doing well and I will always have an income to meet their needs."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have started my poultry keeping project. With the project running, I would be assured of a continuous income for my family hence catering for my family needs will not be a struggle."
