"My life has become good ever since I received the transfer because I have managed to off set big challenges that I had in my family. One being able to pay my daughters tuition in a nursing school and the other is acquiring additional household items which are 2 mattresses, chairs, jerrycans and bed sheets. If I had not got this money, my daughter would have not stayed at school. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for the transfer."

"I am planning to start a business using my next share of the savings from the table banking group where I have been saving my monthly transfers. This will make me more independent and give me the opportunity to provide for my family without having to entirely depend on my husband as I do now."

"The only change that I have witnessed in my daily life is that I am now relieved from stress and worries on how to pay my brother's school fees. This had been my biggest challenge and worry because my brother's UACE results had been withheld."

"My next goal is to build a permanent house. I am currently living in a semi-permanent house which is getting older. I have repaired it several times, therefore, I need to think of how fast how need to get this goal done. I also wish to ensure that my children get the best education."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have an asset. I bought goats which require little attention and their food is easily available. I believe they will soon multiply and according to me, this is an investment. The goats do not depreciate, instead, they will grow and reproduce. I will be selling their young ones in times of need or emergencies. It will also help me avoid taking loans. They will also come in handy when there is no one to offer the loan in the first place."

"The moment I receive the transfer, I felt so happy and I woke up at mid night to join the rest of the village members in ululation as a sign of happiness for this money."

"In the next six months, I will have built a good house. I am glad we will no longer squeeze ourselves in this tiny room. I will renovate this old house and make it a kitchen."

"My life is better now because I ride my own motorcycle which I bought with the transfer. It has eased transportation for both my family members and merchandise to the market on market days. I have also plastered my house and I am using solar light. My home is beautiful and it looks like a town. Before I received the transfer, transportation was not easy. I could hire a motorcycle for me to go any where and also transport the merchandise to the market which was expensive."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I now own a plot of land which I never thought I would have got if I never got the transfer. I'm planning to build commercial in future which will generate income in my family. In the past, I had no plot of land though I had tried to cultivate."

"In the next six moths my children will eat well and above all they will no longer have school fees arrears. This has been my dream to take my children to school and have them enjoy uninterrupted studies be because of school fees."
