"This area of ours is good for raising livestock and as a result of this, receiving this money will mean that I'll be able to start dairy farming( i.e to buy two dairy cattle, construct dairy shed and buy animal feeds). Moreover, I'll be able to restart my egg-selling business. Thank you GD."

"My life is different now compared to before I got the money, I'm looking healthy because am stress free. I can now afford food, my house is beautiful and cool having done renovation and plaster. I have also hired enough land and bought seeds ready for the planting season. I did not have farm land before, my house was dusty with very many holes which attracted rats."

"My life is different than it would have been because I sleep under an iron sheet roofed house and I am happy about it. Before, I used to sleep under a grass thatched house that rats would damage creating a leakage for the rains to find away into the house."

"Life is different in that I am sleeping under an iron sheet roofed house, and my children are schooling. This brings happiness in my life. Before, I was having hardships finding money to pay school fees and the scarcity of grass nowadays made me build an iron sheet roofed house. "

"Life is different in that I now have an Iron sheet roofed house which is a better protection from the rains, unlike the grass thatched house which used to leak alot when it rains inconveniencing sleep at night. This makes me happy. "

"My life is much different in that GiveDirectly has improved on my status. The cash transfers enabled me to pay my daughter's tuition fees at the time when I was hard up. More so I am happy that the phone I was given has made my communication very easy. I also bought a motorcycle which has made my movement from one place to another very possible. Before the cash transfers, I used to depend on bank loans that left me penniless. However, the cash transfers came as a blessing to me. I am very glad that I will retire a happy woman with no debt burden."

"My life is better now in that, The things I wasn't able to achieve I have acquired them using GD transfers. For example I managed to repair my damaged house using this transfer that the wind had blown in 2017. I live a more comfortable life now with less stress compared to the past because I can afford to anything want like food, pay fees and livestock among others. Prior to receiving this money, My house was in an ugly shape because it wasn't plastered, floored and wind had blown the roof but now its one of the most beautiful houses in the village."

"For the past years I have been living in abject poverty. I could not afford all the house hold items that I have. I am happy because GiveDirectly empowered me with the cash transfers that enabled me to purchase an ox and pay school fees for my children. More so, I am happy that GiveDirectly gave me a phone that has connected me with my relatives. Previously, I did not own a phone and It was hard to communicate. I used to do a lot of casual labour so as to make ends meet."

"I spend my most recent transfer to pay rent since I did not have any other source of income to pay the rent. I also bought food which will last me for a month since the money I get from casual jobs is little and could not meet all my basic needs. I also saved the remaining amount since I am planning to revive my movie shop business which collapsed last year."

"The moment I received my money, I felt happy. This is because it was my first to hold such an amount of money in my entire life."
