"I spent the transfers on matress, beddings and clothes for my family. And other building materials for the house. And the rest I have saved for future use."

"The hardship Iam facing in my life is lack of food, I am old and no one is giving any assistance and when I cultivate the size of the produce is just 45 kilograms which is not enough until the next season."

"The hardship that I am facing in my life is employment. Me and my husband are jobless and my family needs to be taken care of."

"The biggest hardship Iam facing in my life is food insecurity. Currently I have a smaller piece of land and is not productive, so by getting the money I will buy another one for cultivation to get good harvest that will satisfy the need of my family."

"I have spent the money on iron sheet since i now want to build a good house and saved some money for moulding bricks"

"I am a divorced single mother who takes care of her 3 children on her own without any help from my ex husband. Had I not received this transfer, I would not be able to pay for my child's school fees and to rely on myself. I would not be able to afford the livestock, blankets and the school fees."

"Before i received the transfer life has been unbearable because i had no reliable source of income, hence i used to struggle to get basic necessities. Now that i have received the transfer life has greatly improved; my house has been improved, there is food in my house and every one is living happily"

"Give Directly has managed to help alot of households in my village. Most of us used to live in mud houses. Most of these houses were not nice. Most people wanted better houses. Give Directly has provided us with the opportunity to get better houses. We have been able to build better houses and also been lifted out of poverty. We only see good things where Give Directly is concerned. The organization is a very big help in our community."

"Before the transfers from Give Directly, I was living in a grass thatched mud house. I had hunger in my household. There were days I would worry about how I would pay back my debts and afford food. I never dreamt I could finally have enough money for both food and to build a better house for myself and my family. I now have food in my household and no longer worry about starving. I am also in the process of building a stronger, sturdier house with cement floors and iron sheet roof. My life is so much better. I am happier and worry less."

"My life has changed completely because of the assistance given from give directly. I have managed to buy 30 iron sheets."
