"I spent the whole of the third transfer to purchase motorcycle and hired it to somebody who is giving the money everyday as my source of income. This motorcycle have really improve my way of living because l do need to depend on my spouse fully l as use to before, l am able to eat whatever food l want of put on any dress l chose because of the motorcycle. "

"My life has really changed as compared to how I lived before. Now I am happy that I sent my son to college without any stress neither bothering anyone for financial support. This was one of my biggest dreams in life since I value education as the key for better life. I renovated the floor of my house that was of mud and dusty. This has reduced the danger of jiggers infestations that had at one time attacked us."

"My life has really changed as compared to how I lived before. I could be a laughing stock in our community who was known of walking in tattered clothes. Sometimes, children could ran away from me as they mistook me for a mad man. This made me feel disgraced in my own community. Today I am smart in new attires and surely people are willing to associate themselves with me. My health would have deteriorated since I could not raise the medical bills following the operation of growth in my stomach. I am afraid that I would be detained in hospital if I never received the transfer from GiveDirectly."

"My life is really different at the moment. These transfers really came at a time when I really needed financial support because of the numerous challenges that I was facing. I am terminally ill I have an inflammation in the small intestine while my wife was involved in an accident and got both internal and external injuries and need medical attention. On the other hand, my family is really big, I have 7 children and two other children who were orphaned following my sister's demise. I pay school fees for these children and also cater for all their needs which is quite a burden on me considering the fact that I rely on casual jobs which bring little earnings. When these transfers came I paid their school fees and bought enough food which is going to take us for some time it was quite a relief on my side. Most part of these transfers also went to pay for the medical expenses for both my wife and I, we are feeling really much better and healthier and even able to go look for means to meet our family's daily needs, these transfers also helped me get a health cover, this has so far helped us cater for medical expenses and it's going to help us even in the future."

"The moment I received this money, I was in the house at around 11: 30 am preparing food for my children. I heard a message from my phone and I asked my son to check what the message was all about. He read the message that I had received the transfer from GiveDirectly. We jumped up and down because of the joy we had in our heart. I thanked God because he had answered my prayers through GiveDirectly. I knew that the amount I received will be able to transform my life."

"I feel empowered with GiveDirectly, I can now provide food for my family without struggling much. I can now plough my farm and expect to get good yield and able to store up to the next harvest. I can now support my children education by paying their school fee and they will no longer have to worry about their education. I would want them to have a good life and be able to become responsible in future."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have started poultry farming and from the profits, I will be able to take care of basic needs like food and clothing easily."

"In the next six months, I expect my life to have improved since I shall have harvested my crops planted some months ago which will help meet the food crisis my family currently experiences. In addition to that, I will be in a position to sell any surplus production for an additional income to help in financing other projects."

"In the next six months, I would want to start a business. This is because GD has brought positive changes to my life and the only way to sustain and improve on the same, is to start a business. Soon the transfers will stop and I would not want to go back to where I was. This is the reason why I have decided to start a business to help me provide for my family well. The profits from the business will be my income and support me in ensuring my family needs are well catered for."

"In the next six months, I expect to live a different life which is full of joy and peace having made it to the university. In addition to this, I expect to have started earning something from my poultry farming project which will not only help in meeting my family's needs but also pay part of my school fee."
