"I am very happy that I sleep on a comfortable mattress and in a nice iron roofed house. Before GiveDirectly launched, I was sleeping in an old tiny grass thatched hut and I could not afford even medical treatment. The GiveDirectly cash transfers have elevated my standards of living."

"My life is different now in that, I have been in position to own livestock which I could not have bought on my own had I not received transfer for GiveDirectly. I did not have any source of income which could have enabled me acquire all these livestock at once because I have in total five livestock. These transfer have improved my standards of living because I now have new household items that's to say, mattress and clothes Therefore I sleep and dress well. Prior, To getting these transfers I didn't have enogh clothes and I used to sleep on a very old mattress. Secondly, People used to laugh at me because at my age I did not have livestock of my own. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build a bigger iron roofed house for my family. "

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is poverty. I am not in position to provide for my family the way I would really wish to."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is sickness. I am sick most of the time and as such, the little money that I get is all spent on medical bills. "

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of money for buying basic needs for my self since Iam pregnant and my spouse has abandoned me."

"Receiving this money means to build a permanent iron-roofed house for my family. "

"My life has had a change because my kids now go to school without so much hustles. I am also capable of rearing my livestock because I recently added around two cows which I bought using the transfers."

"I think GD should improve on the supervision so that people do not have an opportunity to misuse the transfers. Currently the monitoring procedures for the organization is quite wanting."

"My life is now different in that I can now comfortably support my family financially and I can also pay school fees with ease from my business that is doing well of late."
