"In the past four months, I have been able to pay school fees for my child without a struggle hence my child gets to study well because he is never sent away from school. I also managed to register for a tailoring course as this has been my dream. I also managed to save and bought livestock for rearing for sale later when I experience any financial constraint."

"It has always been my dream to start up a business of selling new clothes and shoes. When I received my recent transfer, I spent part of it in making some shelves which I am intending to use in a shop which I am planning to open. Since I received my transfer during the December holiday, I decided to visit my parents because I had stayed for a whole year without visiting them. Therefore, I used the remaining amount as transport to home and in buying some shopping for my parents and siblings since I could not go home empty handed."

"I am very optimistic that in the next six months I would built my own traditional house called 'Simba '.This will be necessitated from the profits I will get out of selling these goats and buy building materials that are needed for the project."

"The moment I received the money, I felt very excited because I was too broke before this money arrived."

"The biggest change I have seen in my life is that I have managed to build a house and I'm so grateful because I have been so tired of sleeping in a grass thatched house."

"I was at work on that day and I had left my phone in the house. I don't normally take my phone with me to work because of security reasons. On that particular day, I stayed waiting for work at the place where we usually sit but I was not lucky to get any laundry jobs the whole day. In the evening as I was going back to my house, I met my group member who asked me if I had received the transfers. I did not have my phone and so I rushed to the house to check my phone. I saw the message and I was so happy. I waited for my husband to inform him and we discussed how we would spend the transfers."

"My life is different in that, I have been relieved from the debt burden that I had and have got back my acre of land to was taken by the money lender who gave me money for treating my late husband and the burial expenses, I have also completed the house that my late husband started to build, I couldn't have achieved all these had I not received money from Give Directly."

"My goals are to open up a printing business that I have always wanted. I see this dream soon coming to reality even because of my coming transfers."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, the quality of life has generally improved because I received a peace of mind and can feed well. In the past, I used to worry a lot over how to meet my family needs, being a single mother."

"Speaking the truth I got scared because first of all I never saw the name Give Directly but for money sender In the message section. I thought it was online scammers who had forwarded the message and I decided to cross check my mobile money account and indeed money was there and I know this transfers come at night. I became so happy from that time and the entire day because I knew all my plans for completing my house are getting nearer to fulfillment."
