"Receiving this money means building iron roofed house. "

"My life is different than it would have been suppose I never received the transfer from GiveDirectly because I have witnessed a big transformation in my life. For instance, I am greatly relieved from the money related stress because the transfers from GiveDirectly enabled me pay college fee for my brother, something that I would have not done without GiveDirectly's support."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of land that I can cultivate to provide for my family."

"The biggest hardship i have faced is the problem of paying school fees for our children."

"It was early morning when I got a message notification on my phone. Being that I'm not well conversant with the phone, I asked my son who was next to me to read out the message. I was overjoyed when he informed me that I had received money from GiveDirectly."

"It was around 8.30 am as I was preparing breakfast for my family when I received two messages. Upon reading their contents, I was filled with joy as I knew that my life was not going to be the same again. I then prayed to thank God for His blessings upon my family."

"The biggest difference is that moving forward, my family will have a spacious house which is in a good condition. This brings so much joy in my heart. The fact that I will for once be feeling safe while sleeping, it will be a big relief to me. I will not be worrying of rains soaking our beddings during rainy season which has always made me want to cry out my heart to the Lord for He has shown me mercy when I least expected it."

"I'm now at peace and happy because I can now meet the family needs with a lot of ease and at the same time I can save some little money. This is because I bought a motorcycle with the money I received from GiveDirectly which I use for taxi services unlike previously when I didn't have a source of income. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"I expect my life to change in the next months in that I will be having a new house and thus will be able to accommodate all my family members.I will also be able to have enough space to host all my visitors whenever they visited my family and that will be my joy. In the next six months I will also be having enough milk for my family and sell surplus milk to earn income and start a new business."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is illness of ulcers and kidney problems."
