"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have ventured into group saving culture and this will enable me to pay school fees for my children on time. I will also be doing horticulture farming to enable me to earn an income by selling the produce at the market near home."

"Before I had no clue or future plans on how to take care of my family. My life is much different because the cash transfer helped me to pay school fees, and acquire basic needs for my family. More so, we can now afford more than one meal in a day because I can afford to buy food with the cash transfers. GiveDirectly has made it possible for me to communicate easily with my relatives and friends with the GD phone that I was provided."

"If I had never recieved the transfer, I would not be fully married. I would still be staying in a relationship without my parents blessings."

"My life is different than if I had not received cash transfer in that, I am now a stress free person because I am able to carry on my business of being a cattle trader competitively. Prior to receiving this cash transfer, I used to dig and I could not even socialize with other community members due to low self esteem because of inadequate financial support."

"My life different in that, I'm very happy to have held such an amount of money for free in my life. This money has enabled me to get whatever I needed and also get treatment. If I never got this money I think I would have already died because I could not have managed to fort the hospital bills on my own."

"In fact I wouldn't have managed to take back my children to school this term and clear the previous arrears of last term If I never received the transfer from Give Directly. Secondly I would not have managed to construct a houses if it wasn't of Give Directly transfers."

"There is a lot of independence in my family compared to the situation before. I no longer ask for every item from my husband because, I am operating my small business that gives me some small income in order to sustain our family."

"My life is now different in that, my standard of living has improved because I no longer lack the basic necessities of life. This was not the case in the past, because there was no way of getting money."

"If I had never recieved the transfer, I would not be this happy to have pushed my children to school. I have a joyful life now that my children are fully in school and their future bright."

"Had I not received the cash transfer, I would be miserable with no future plans. However I am happy because my life is now different in that I was able to construct a four roomed commercial house that will generate income for my household when completed."
