"I would like to thank GD cash transfer program in a special way. In my life I have been wanting to own livestocks so that my grandchildren will inherit but no matter how I have worked so hard, my effort went in vain. Ever since I was born, I had never been given this such amount of money which had no strings attached, for me it's a blessing from God or a gift to my old age. At the moment am sleeping on a very comfortable place & beddings, my house is no longer leaking and I have food to eat through out the day. My thanks is not enough but God shld bless that person who has given me this type of gift."

"My life is different now because i have my own maize garden. all the past years i was unable to have my maize garden because i could not afford to buy fertilizer to apply to my crops. This really had a negative impact on my family as we never had food all year round. since i received my transfers i managed to have my own maize garden and am hopeful that the yield will be high so that i can have food for the whole year."
