"I remember hearing people ululating and shouting on top of their voices that GiveDirectly had sent them money. I was also compelled to switch on my phone to check if indeed it was true. At that moment I felt very happy and overwhelmed with joy."

"I remember my daughter in-law called me that day and informed me that I had received a mobile message. I jubilated in my grass thatched house and sung songs of joy."

"The biggest difference in my daily is that I wake up happy because I am sure of having a nice meal. My children are healthy because I can afford to buy a variety of food to feed them. More so I am happy because I have also constructed an iron roofed house with the cash transfer."

"The day when got my transfer, I was in a funeral at a relatives home. I did not show any excitement due to fear that I could be waylaid by thieves. I wasn't suppose to come back home that same day but I decided to and the moment I reached home I started dancing ululating and thanking Give Directly for the transfer because it is an amazing opportunity to benefit."

"I was so happy when I received this transfer because I never believed I would also get a chance like this one. Ever since I was born I have never handled such big sums of money and I thank Give Directly for the assistance."

"My life is different because I have built a house though not yet complete. I have also managed to purchase household items like mattress and utensils. I'm also overwhelmed with happines because my standards of living have improved much better."

"I became so happy to the extent that I came outside the house and started dancing, ululating and celebrating with other community members. I did no feel like going back to bed and when I did i never slept back until morning. I was so happy because these transfer will help me solve financial crisis in my household."

"I felt so happy when I saw a mobile money message from give directly. I was happy because these money was going to help me from the problems I have been going through for example, Farmland, household items and feeding."

"The biggest differnce in my daily is that, I am now a busy person working on my project of making blocks for building my house. I have a lot of hope and morale, besides, I now spend my time productively. Before, I used to go early to the trading center wasting a lot of time doing nothing."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I now have self esteem because I am in the process of acquiring land of my own which comes with changing status in the community. Thanks be to GiveDirectly."
