"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm now at peace with both my parents-in-law and my spouse because I was able to pay the dowry for my spouse. I'm now happy, and we are now stable in our family because there are no threats of the spouse going back to their place because I've not paid her dowry."

"While I was sleeping I heard a beep on my phone and wondered who could have sent me a message at such a time. I woke up, checked the phone and to my surprise it was a confirmation message that I had received money from GiveDirectly. It was such a joyous moment and I couldn't wait for morning so that I could purchase the things I needed."

"Since I got married, we had never owned a cow. It has always been my prayer to God to give me one so that it can help me feed my children. Now when I bought one after receiving the money from GD, my daily routine has changed. On daily basis, before I get to work I first take a few minutes feeding my cow which always makes me happy."

"When I received a message on my phone, first I didn't believe it was true until I checked my balance to confirm. To my surprise, the money was already in my mobile bank account. I felt so happy as I had never had such amount of money before."

"I feel so peaceful because I'm not worried anymore about how to raise my son's school fees because I have already cleared the term's school fees. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"On that day my phone was almost going off for lack of power, so I decided to switch it off while sleeping in order to preserve power to be used the following morning. So when I woke up, I switched it on to check the time and to my surprise, I received a message confirming that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I couldn't believe and I had to purchase some airtime so that I could be sure I had received money and to my disbelief it was true I had received money. It was such a joyous moment."

"The biggest difference is that I was staying in the neighbourhood since I didn't have my own house but now the transfer has enabled me to construct one, I feel myself esteem has been raised because I am not a beggar anymore."

"The biggest difference that this transfer has brought in my daily life is that I now own assets in the form of livestock ,that is, oxens and goats. I am also able to provide food for my family since this was a challenge to me for long."

"I had never thought of owning even a single cow in my life since my dream of buying one was shattered due to financial constraints, so to me getting these cows is the greatest achievement that I've ever had. Thanks to GiveDirectly for changing my life for good and of my family."

"The biggest difference is that this transfer has brought into my daily life is that am now building my own house and trust that once completed, then I will now have my own better house than the one I had before."
