"I had no idea that the money had been sent until my helper called to ask if I had received my share. Because I don't know how to read, I had to immediately rush to her house so that she could help me confirm if I had received the money. When I got to her house, she confirmed that the money had been sent and we couldn't help but celebrate together as friends and shared some of our plans."

"The sincere truth is my household is now peaceful and everyone is happy. We now socialize well with my wife and we share plans together. I am looking forward to enrolling in a driving course so that I can get a driving employment opportunity. This will enable me support my household. Previously, I had no money to enable me pursue a course of my choice and life seemed unpredictable. I am glad that GiveDirectly choose to send me the cash transfer."

"The significant difference in my daily life is that my children dress decently. We have solar as a main source of lighting at home. I am happy that I also paid off an old debt thus reclaiming my farm land. Prior to receiving the cash transfer, my children were dressed in old tattered clothes, we had no main source of lighting at night. We had small torches which were not reliable. I thank GiveDirectly for transforming my household. Long live GiveDirectly."

"My daily life is much peaceful because I feel happy that I was able to pay my children's school fees. I acquired a solar power system for lighting at home. In the past, we had to sell our food crops so as to pay my children's school fees. It was a huge burden to us and this could not allow us sleep peacefully. We were desperate for a miracle and thank God, GiveDirectly came to our rescue."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change in that I shall have been able to start my poultry keeping project which I know shall improve my life in a great way. This plan shall be actualized with the help of GiveDirectly transfers and proceeds from my vegetable selling business."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have saved some money in a merry go round group to pay school fees for my children on time and also to buy basic needs for my family."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to change in that I will have bought the dairy cow that I have always desired to own. After accomplishing the dream of owning a dairy cow then I can think of building a new house that will host my family in the coming days. This, I know shall come to pass with the assistance from GiveDirectly transfers and other investments made with the same."

"I was woken up by a message notification in a phone early in the morning. When I checked who the sender was, I found out it was from Give Directly informing me that the first transfers had been sent to my account. I was filled with joy and I could not contain my self after getting the good news. We organized a small celebration with my family later that morning. We really felt like inviting one of the agents from this organization but later thought that by using it well and having something to show at the end of it all is what will make them feel proud."

"In the next six months of my life, I expect to have raised enough money to expand my business. Currently, I am already getting profits from the business that I recently started. I intend to continue saving the monthly in come I normally get from Give Directly and add to the profits I get from this business. I believe the total amount will be enough to open another branch in a different village. If all goes well I believe I will soon be a millionaire. I will be able to help my parents and siblings and our community at large."

"In the next six months l expect to have completed plastering my house and staying in it comfortably without worrying of it fall down."
