"The moment when i received my transfer from GD was full of joy, it was a joyous moment of my life. The feeling was out of this world."

"I bought window frames, bricks and doors for the house I plan on building. I do not have a house of my own, the one I live in now belongs to my sister. This means now I can afford to build a house of my own. I also bought a blanket to help keep me warm at night. I added 3 bags of maize to the ones i have so that I do not run out of food. I went on to buy 5 bags of fertilizer so that i have a bumper harvest."

"I was very happy. I believe i was happy more than anyone in my village no one has ever done anything like this to me. I am so greatful for all this help."

"I awas very happy to receive this money. I am grateful till today for the funds and i look forward to the next ones"

"The biggest difference is that all along i use to cover my self with a Chitenje when sleeping but now i bought beddings that i use to cover my self for example i have a bedcover and a blanket I'm super excited and grateful for that,i also have adequate food in my house sleeping with an empty stomach is a history now and thank you so much."

"I used the money to buy a matress, a blanket, a bicycle, fertilizer which I applied to my maize, a solar panel and I used some of the money to start a new farm when I planted cassava."

"I now have household items like a matress and food which I did not have before. I bought building materials like bricks which I plan to build a big house with because the house my family lives in now is too small. I am just so grateful."

"The moment I saw that I had received the cash, I was so happy because I knew that my problems would be solved."

"The biggest change is that of the improvement in the way we eat nowadays since we have enough food we now eat three times a day.. We sleep better since we have mattress,,nice beddings. food"

"Iam sleeping in a good house with iron sheets and iam not worried of anything during the rainy season. Previously, when it started raining at night i was waking up at night together with my children to avoid being soaked in water due to massive leaking. This however is history now."
