"Before GiveDirectly came to my village, I was always stressed up on how I will get money to pay for my child's school fees come this year. I am now a happy parent as I have been able to pay her school fees and I will be taking her to school tomorrow. This is so far the best thing that has happened to me in my life all thanks to GiveDirectly."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have enough food for my family because of the plan that I have in expanding my agriculture hence, I will not have to buy food every day."

"I'm at peace and I feel proud I have a house thus I do not have any worries of how to raise money for paying for my house rent. This has also helped me save the money I used to spend on house rent. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"I was informed by my son who is a GD beneficiary that GD had sent him money. Since my phone was off, I hurriedly switched it on so that I could check if I had received money too and to my surprise, I received a confirmation message that I had received money from GD. I felt so happy, jumped up and down as I celebrated the receipt of the money."

"It was in the morning when I woke up and found out that my husband was happier than other days. When he saw me, he immediately informed me that we had received the money we had been waiting for from GiveDirectly. At that instant, I was overwhelmed with happiness and I informed him that we had to pray to thank God for His blessings. I then called our children, shared with them the good news and we then gave thanks to our Almighty."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that my children nowadays sleep at home unlike before as I now have a bigger house. This makes me happier and I also know that whenever I have visitors, I am assured that they are comfortable as they will be seeping in our own house as opposed to before."

"The biggest difference in your daily life is the fact that initially we nnever had any livvestock grazing on our field but now we have six goats which are our own. we thank God for the drastic change in our family."

"In the next six months l expect to have started saving for my child through my business."

"When I woke up, I discovered that most of the people in the village were happy. When I inquired, I was informed that they had received money from GiveDirectly. I then called my son to check my M-Pesa balance for me and he confirmed to me that indeed, I had also received the money. At that instant, I was filled with happiness. I immediately prepared myself and went to town so that I could withdraw the money and actualize my plans."

"At first, I thought that I will not receive my transfers anymore as everybody in the village had received theirs except me. When I woke up and saw a message indicating that I had received some money, I was filled with happiness as I knew that indeed my life was going to change. I then prayed thanking God for His blessings in my life."
