"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now sleep in good bedding and I have many nice kitchen utensils. I used to sleep on a mat and I had few kitchen utensils before I got the transfer."

"This financial support is enabling me achieve my dream of constructing an iron roofed house. I have been relieved from the debt burden that I had which has given me a peace of mind. I also have a new mattress, bed sheets and utensils. Before, I had very old household items that were not presentable at all whenever visitors could come. My grass thatched hut is in bad shape which is not safe for a living and I had unpaid debt."

"When I received the mobile money, I called my child to check my phone the next day. When she read the message, I became very happy and even ululated alot with joy. This is because I had never received such an enormous amount of money in my life."

"Currently, my daily life is different in that, I can afford to change clothes and do farming in a more secure manner because I put on my gumboots while in the garden, I want to thank and appeciate GiveDirectly for the support."

"I expect my life to have changed in the next six months in that I will have completed house building and connected electrically to the house. My children will have enough light and time to study in the evenings. If GiveDirectly visits me in six months' time, you will be surprised by how much improvement in my home has brought to me and especially my children."

"The greatest change in my daily life is that I wake up with joy because my home is now presentable incase I receive visitors. I have plastered my house and this gives me so much joy because I have beautified my house. Previously, my house could host rats that used to create holes on the walls. However, I am now comfortable and happy that I have plastered my house. I could not have done this without the cash transfer from GiveDirectly."

"I was very happy when I received the money. This is because, for so long I had wished to buy a plot of land but didn't have the money."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I am happy and feel self worth because I am in a process of living a new life free of stress from the burden of looking for grass for thatching."

"The moment I received the transfer I felt happy, I thanked God for the money and asked him to continue blessing GiveDirectly."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have own a cow that will help me plough my land. This transfer has enabled me get additional acre of land for farming which I expect to increase my crop production mainly for food and sell. I was in position to take my son to a boarding school and save some money for future use. Previously, I didn't have a cow of my own because I couldn't afford it and my son used to commute from home."
