"The cash transfer has impacted positively on my daily life. I am happy because I acquired a solar panel which acts as a source of light and provides us power for charging our phones. This means that, we nolonger have to use kerosene lamps which are a health risk to us."

"My life has improved because I have got a piece of Agricultural land which I have already cleared. Three days from now I will plant g-nuts and cassava. I will no longer do casual labour in people's farms. Before the transfer, I could farm I used to do casual labour. In addition, I'm now sleeping well on mattress. Previously I slept on a mat."

"My daily life biggest difference is being able to get my two bulls and watermelon seedlings that I am already planting. This will help me in large scale farming in all times and sell off the watermelon when it matures. Hence giving more money to sustain my family in the long run."

"Combining the monthly transfers from GD to the profits that I will be making from the chicken project, I am sure that in the next six months, I will be able to achieve my life long dream of owning a dairy cow. I expect to be living a better life and even quitting the casual jobs completely to become a well-known farmer in my village who will be supplying the nearby markets with milk, eggs and chickens. This, of course, means more money and a generally improved lifestyle for my family."

"The biggest difference so far is that I am constructing a four roomed house. This would not have been possible if I had not received the cash transfer."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is a feeling of ownership and independence. This is because I was able to get a personal bicycle that will aid me in terms of transport. I will no longer have to ask for help when I need to go anywhere as I will just ride my bicycle."

"My life has changed because I have acquired an acre of land. I plan to cultivate ( maize and sweet potatoes). I'm now sure of food security in my home. In the past, I had a challenge of food shortage because I had a small piece of land."

"The cash transfer came in at the time when I was too ill and paralyzed. My health has now stabilized because I was able to access medical treatment in time. This was a blessing to my family because we did not have money to access medical treatment."

"The moment I received the transfer I felt very happy. I had been sleeping and heard a message on my phone at 4:00 am. It woke me up and when I had read the message I realized the transfer was sent I felt really good and just went back on my bed but I could not sleep anymore. I was just thinking and rethinking of the things that I was going to purchase with the money."

"At night as I slept, I heard my phone message notification and on checking, it was from GiveDirectly indicating mobile money. At that moment, I felt so happy that I immediately started organizing on how to withdraw it and spend as planned."
