"My life is different now because am happy, this money enabled me to plaster our house and its looking beautiful. I have acquired some livestock. In case of any emergency I can sell my livestock and get money. Previously, I used to think a lot, life was a struggle with nothing to sell and no one to borrow from."

"The most evident change is that I am now debt free because I was able to service an outstanding loan that had spent over two years. I also bought a bicycle that has made my transport means very easy and it is also used for fetching water from the borehole. However, in the past I was sad because I could not service that loan. I was living in shame though I could not admit it. More so I used to carry one jerrycan to fetch water which was cumbersome. With the bicycle now, I can carry four jerrycans of water at once."

"I spent my most recent transfer to buy some chicken and chicken feeds. It has always been my prayer to start a poultry keeping project back at home. My grandmother will be running it for me. I settled on this because its starting cost is not high and it does not require a lot of attention. This will act as my alternative source of income which I will be using to cater for my needs."

"The moment I received this money, I became so happy to the extent that I did ululate, Thanked God, GD staff and her donors because I never thought I would get this kind of money."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been in position to construct an iron roofed house and clear all my debts within a short period of time. Previously, I was faced with a burden of renovating my grass thatched hut, 3 times Year due to the effect of termites and I also had serious unpaid debts."

"My life has tremendously improved in that, I paid my children's tuition and built a permanent which has given me a peace of mind. In the past, I used to sell the little food I harvested in order to raise tuition and this brought about food shortage. Currently, the thatched house I live in is leaking because the rats destroyed its roof and it has been costly for me to renovate it due to the scarcity of the thatch materials."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy. This is because I got such an amount of money which I have never got from any of my relatives."

"In the next four months, I will have a large brood of chicken and a very well furnished house. This poultry keeping will be a contstant source of income for me."

"This money was sent to me at night and I didn't realize that I received the money. When I woke up in the morning, I saw a mobile money message on my phone screen and I decided to cross check my account and indeed there was money. The moment I saw one million seven hundred thousand in my phone, I became so happy because this money was going to help me build a house and relieve me from stress of looking for grass for house maintenance."

"There is a great change in my life in that I bought house hold items such as a mattress, clothes. I am very smart. The cash transfer also enabled my spouse to be released from jail where he had been held custody for unknown reasons."
