"My daily life is different now in that, There is a lot of happiness in my whole family including my children because whatever they ask me to buy for them I'm able to afford it. I did not have any plans of starting anything like construct a house but ever since I received this money, I laid down my plans on how to build a permanent house."

"The GiveDirectly cash transfers have transformed my life alot in that I can now afford to dress nicely and decently. I acquired a plot of land that I intend to construct on. In the past, I did not have a plot of land of my own. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the cash transfers."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I own an acre of land that I intend to plant groundnuts, which will be sold to address family needs like medical care, food. I also added a cow that I believe will be sold in future for buying more acres of land. Previously, we failed to complete payment of an acre of land which denied us its ownership."

"The biggest difference in my life now is that I paid off mortgage and got back my farm land, I now sleep well on a mattress. Previously I slept on the floor and I had debts which bothered me a lot."

"My daily life has improved in that, I have a stable source of income which is generated from the transport business I started using the motor bike. This in turn has made it possible for me to meet my family necessities like food, soap and clothes. In the past, I didn't have any source of income to afford all these necessities and therefore life was very hard."

"I have seen so many changes in my day to day life. I recently bought a solar powered panel which is cost effective and efficient as compared to the paraffin lamps that I was using previously. It has even become much easier for everyone in the family to charge their phones because we do not have to go and charge our phones at the nearest shopping center like we used to do before."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt very happy. It was my first time to receive such a huge amount of unconditional cash transfer."

"My daily life has changed because I have got piece of agricultural land which I plan to cultivate (grow) cassava, g-nuts and maize. Previously, I had to just rent land to farm which was costly."

"My new goal is to buy a motorcycle and venture into motorcycle business. I will use the income from the poultry project and also get financial support from my spouse to buy the motorcycle. This will be a source of income to meet my family basic needs and pay school fees for my children in future."

"The truth is that I have witnessed a very positive change in my life from the time that I received the cash transfers. I am now healthy and decent because I can afford to wear new clothes. I am very happy because very soon I will shift to a nice comfortable iron roofed house with nice bedding. My family eats a well balanced diet and with the three plots of land that I hired, I intend to increase my food crop production. Formerly, my life was very miserable, I could not even afford smearing oil, we could not afford a good meal meal. At times we could sleep on an empty stomach."
