"The biggest difference in my daily life is that this money has brought happiness because I now have an iron sheet roofed house, giving me a break from the leaking grass thatched one."

"That moment I received my money, I heard a message, read it and got joy, because I have never held such amount of money in my life. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is sleeping better on a mattress and a blanket that morning comes without you realizing, unlike before. "

"The moment I received the money, I got surprised because I never thought such a thing would happen. I was filled with excitement and felt relieved from so many pressing needs. My God is so good."

"The moment I received my money, I was over whelmed my joy then I prayed to the Almighty God to protect the entire GiveDirectly family and thanked God for the gift of cash."

"The moment I received my money, I felt extremely happy that together with my husband, we decided to plan for our money."

"I felt so happy when I received the mobile money message, It was my first time to receive much money. I could not wait to withdraw it and hold in my hands."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I acquired a bicycle that has eased my transportation and I have purchased most of the household items(utensils, water drum, mattress, bed sheets and clothes) that were lacking in my home. Furthermore, I bought 2 cows that will help with my children's education. Prior to receiving this transfer, I didn't have a bicycle and transporting agricultural produce from the farm was a great challenge"

"Together with my husband, we always had plans that should we get this transfer, we would straight away build a permanent house. Therefore, the moment I received my money, felt really happy knowing that our plans were fulfilled."

"I'm happy that I have secured building materials that I will use to put up a permanent structure and I won't have to sleep in a leaky house. when I occupy my house, I will be having peaceful nights and worry no more about rain. My entire life I never imagined I could sleep in a iron roofed house because I never had resources to build one. I want to extend my sincere thanks to GiveDirectly for tremendously change my standards of living."
