"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have peace of mind, sleep well without stress about how the following day will be for my family. "

"On that day, I received a call from a friend informing to check my mobile money account. When I checked my account, I was overwhelmed with joy because this was a one time opportunity. I knew with this cash transfer I would acquire livestock."

"The biggest difference in my daily is that I am happy because I enrolled my children into good schools. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly because I am currently constructing a house without depending on my business profits."

"The hour I saw a message indicating that I had received money from GiveDirectly, I felt excited and started considering my plans of marrying."

"The next six months I expect my life to change in that I would have built a decent iron sheet house that I have been longing for and staying in a grassed thatched house would not be of worry."

"My life is great because I have cleared of the debt and repossessed the land which I had used as collateral. I plan to cultivate g-nuts on this land when the season starts. In the past I had no money to pay off the debt."

"My life has changed in that, I have acquired oxen in a short period of time. This will help me in ploughing my farm land come rainy season. I bought windows and plastered my house that had taken long before completion. This transfer also enabled me buy a bigger bed, a mattress that is spacious enough. Previously, I had a smaller mattress that couldn't even accommodate my spouse and our twins although I slept on a mat. I used to get poor yields due to delayed ploughing. Most people who had oxen could prioritize their work before they could hire out the oxen."

"When I recieved my money, I felt happy. Looking back, the happiness I felt then was because I knew that the poverty I was facing (lacking enough labor in terms farming, and timely feeding) was coming to an end as I planned to see that to it that I get bulls for ploughing. "

"The moment I received my first cash transfer, I felt happy because I would start constructing my permanent house that is specious enough for us to stay in."

"The significant difference in my daily life is that I am now having peace of mind because I renovated my house and it is now very conducive to stay in. Previously, I used to stay in a grass thatched house which had so many rats that would make a lot of noise at night hence making it uncomfortable."
