"My daily life is different now in that, I no longer do casual labor because this money has helped me buy what I needed in my household like food, livestock and household items. My health has greatly improved because I haven't yet been diagnosed with ulcers compared to the previous days because I now have a peace of mind."

"When I received a message indicating that I had received my cash transfer around 7:00 am, I informed my spouse a bout it who joined me to thank God for the miraculous support in prayer. We then prepared and set out on a journey to collect our money on the same day."

"I expect in the next six months to have saved enough money that will necessitate the cementing of my mud house. I believe it shall come to completion and I won't have the burden of smearing my mud house which is time-consuming and it isn't a permanent solution to a dusty floor."

"There is a big change in my life now because I'm constructing an iron roofed house for my self. Am currently sleeping in a grass thatched house with a leaking roof and when it rains I have to lift my bedding and stand at the corner of the house. I will be shifting soon and it is the source of my happiness."

"When I woke up in the morning, I heard my neighbours saying that they had received money from GiveDirectly. When I checked my phone, I found a message indicating that I had received money. I then informed my spouse about the news and our plan that we had agreed (buying a bull) shall be fulfilled on the next market day."

"I saw the message notification early in the morning. On checking, it was from GiveDirectly notifying me that my first transfer had finally been sent. I was overwhelmed with joy for financial support. At first, when Give Directly came to my home I knew they are like other organizations that come and go without doing whatever they had promised. My doubts were erased the moment I saw the message."

"The mobile money message got me asleep. However, early in the morning one of my siblings called me and inquired if I had received any mobile money message. I checked my account and I was amazed at what I had seen. I was happy because my entire life I had never touched such an amount of money."

"The moment I received my money, I was so happy because it would build me an iron roofed house, and I will be taking a rest from sleeping under a grass thatched house. "

"I expect in the next six month I shall have saved enough money to hold the fourth-year memorial ceremony of my late loving husband since means every to me."

"I recall it was at 4:00 AM when I received a mobile money message. Only for me to check my account to confirm if it was indeed true. I was overwhelmed with joy because GiveDirectly had answered my prayers bt sending me the cash transfer."
