"Receiving this money means that I will finally be able to own my own dairy cow.For a long time now,I have been keeping one cow that belongs to my husband's parents.Sometimes we have issues with his brothers as to why we were given that cow and I have always wished that God opens a way so that I can buy mine.I believe this is an answered prayer.My family will have a constant supply of milk as well as proceeds from the milk and offspring from it will help me with my children's education."

"My life has changed now, I am in the process of constructing an iron roofed house with this transfer. I have got a good mattress and bed sheets which I did not have before."

"The biggest difference so far is that I am happy and healthy. I spent part of the cash transfer to treat myself from the adverse effects of food poison. Previously, I was unhealthy and my condition was worrisome. The poison was slowly affecting my body. However, I am very glad that the cash transfer came as a blessing to me."

"The mere fact that I received this money put a big smile to my face as it has enabled me t build my permanent house. I am now planning to move into my house without worrying about the leakage in case of rain."

"The moment I received the transfer I felt so happy. It was the first time for me to hold such a hung amount of money. I had to sit down and plan for it."

"The cash transfer was sent lat at night while I was asleep. However, early the next day I was able to check my phone and I was surprised to read a mobile money message from GiveDirectly. I checked my account and indeed, I had received money from GiveDirectly. I felt very happy because GiveDirectly had chosen me and this was an opportunity for me to change my life."

"In my sleep, I heard people making noise. On waking up, my son came in and checked the phone only to see that I had received my money. At that moment, I felt so happy receiving the money that I started planning to withdraw it and use it for majorly building."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I had hopes of owning a plot of land which I could not get before since life was very hard."
