"My life is different in that, before I never had Livestock, household goods in my house and I used to sleep in a dusty house. I'm now very happy that the transfers I got from GiveDirectly have enabled me to get whatever I never had in my Life and I'm sleeping in smooth cool house. Thanks to GiveDirectly."

"I spent my transfers to pay school fees for my daughter who is in form three. I wash clothes for people for a living and my husband depends on construction jobs to fend for us. Most of the time we are never assured of these jobs whenever we set out to look for work. There are days we get lucky and find available work, and some days we don't get these jobs. We have struggled a lot financially especially with our two children in High school. Paying school fees has been our greatest challenge and our children have to be sent home for school fees most of the time. I was really happy that I managed to keep my children in school this January."

"The moment I received the money in phone, by then I was away from home. But because of the over excitement, I decided to go and settle home in order to celebrate."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is illness. I have undergone multiple operations which hinder me from doing my daily cores."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my is lack of enough money to sustain all basic needs."

"I had not seen the message at all on the day that the transfers came in. I had just woken up when I received a call from a friend of mine who asked me if I had received my transfers. I did not have any idea that the transfers were sent on that day; i must have still been asleep when the message came in. I checked my phone at that moment and I saw the message. I was really happy. I had to confirm again that the message was from Give Directly just to be sure that it was not money that was sent to my phone by mistake. I was so excited and I immediately started to think of how I would spend the money."

"I plan to use the transfers for building a small sloping iron-roofed house. Also part of the money I will use for buying two oxen that people shall eat during my burrial day."

"Receiving this money means, it shall help me build a ironroofed house for my family. This will provide better shelter for my self. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be in position to buy a piece of land for cultivation. "

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of enough food for my family to eat."
