"I bought uniform for my 2 kids, i want to educate them and thia to me its a key stape, i also bought matters which I did not have for a long time, I as well bought iron sheets because I want to build a house once the rains are over. Of cause I also bought food for my family."

"When i received the transfer the first thing to buy was iron sheets I did this because I have plans to build a house as currently I live in a kitchen and I'm just waiting for dry season to do that since it's a bit difficult to build a house in this rain season,secondly i bought a bicycle in our village any one who owns a bicycle is a very respected person so I did not buy the bicycle for business but I bought it for household purposes, i then use the other part of the transfer to buy farm inputs like fertiliser and i also bought some maize for food,also when I received the transfer I was 8 months pregnant and I use part of it to buy baby staff and paying hospital bills the transfer really helped me."

"I never had enough food for my family, the only means of finding food was through piece works. I could not do my own activities because i spent most of my time doing piece work to find food. when i received my transfer i bought enough food for my family and i have stopped doing piece works as i have food and i am concentrating on my own activities now."

"There is a big difference in my life compared to when I had not received the transfer, my life has changed. Many things are easy to get now, especially daily food stuffs."

"I bought iron sheets, bricks so that i build my own house as the house am in is rented. I also bought food and fertilizer"

"The first cash transfer has already helped me alot and the second cash transfer will completely finish off my financial challenges. Every year i find it difficult to buy food and agricultural products but with the Give Directly money, i have for the first time in my life managed to face no challenges at all in purchasing food and fertilizer, I thank Give Directly alot for changing my life."

"I was very happy and i thought I was dreaming because at first when others where receiving their first transfer I did not get mine and i thought that I will never receive again so after receiving the alert message I was very happy and in disbelief that this could be real being happening to me"

"I was very happy, it is an unexplainable moment. I was very happy"

"I have been able to purchase 26 iron sheets which I will use in roofing my house, I have bought 15 chicken and 5 goats for livestock farming. I have also bought a mattress and blankets to be sleeping comfortably. I have bought bags of maize to feed my family. I was also able to purchase fertilizer which I used in my farm."

"My life is different now because as i go to the farm, i have no worries about where i am going to get fertilizer. I have bought fertilizer using this money and this means that i will have enough food through out the year. In addition to this I am able to cater for my children's nutrition and education needs. This is unlike in the past where i was not able to do all this so yes, this money has made a huge difference in my life."
