"The biggest difference in my life is the farming practices that we were able to initiate with GiveDirectly transfers. Having to rely on proceeds from casual jobs that I do to make income has made it quite hard for me to plant in time and I am so grateful that I was able to do this in time. I am looking forward to a great harvest that will change my life and that of my family in a great way."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the presence of electricity in both of my homes. Previously, I relied on a lantern lamp and, on occasion, a rechargeable emergency lamp, both of which were difficult to charge. I'm glad I saved money on energy and saved the time I would have spent walking to and from the shopping center to charge my phone."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the increased business as a result of bringing in new stock and replenishing exhausted ones. Customers are more satisfied because they no longer have to travel to town to purchase goods. With this, I was able to increase my profit margin and thus provide for my family of three without putting my business at risk."

"Lack of clean water for home use and livestock is the greatest challenge. With my old age, I rely on my children to purchase and grandchildren to fetch water for me. When they are not around, I struggle a lot and sometimes goats die for lack of water and pasture. The lack of rains has largely contributed to this and we have no better options."
