"I spent a big portion of the transfer received to build an iron roofed house. I initially owned only one grass thatched hut which was used as both a kitchen and bedroom. The house was sometimes so congested and uncomfortable. I am glad we will soon have enough room for all of us once I complete building the house. Apart from the increased space, The iron roofed allows me harvest rain water for use in my household. I also paid my children's school fees using part of the transfer and bought them some school uniform. I also bought food and other household items using the transfer."

"The biggest difference is that I am now hopeful of living in my own home. Through the transfers I got from Give Directly I have already bought the necessary building materials. I have also managed to pay school fees for my children and they can now attend school undisrupted. Initially, I only used to depend on casual jobs. The money I got from these jobs was enough to buy basic needs. I used to save nothing towards this goal therefore there were slim chances of establishing my home. I am happy that soon I will be living with my family in our homestead."

"My life is different because before I used to deal with the motorcycle taxi business. The motorcycle that I was using was old and its engine was worn out. Most of my customers had complained and I was loosing some to other taxi guys. This affected the daily income that I was making and my household members got it rough. After receiving the transfers, I bought a new engine and other parts that were old and it is as good as new. This has made my customers comfortable and even brought new customers. With the revenue earned, I can now comfortably take care of my family."

"In the next six months, I am certain that I will college since I will have saved enough to pay for college fees needed for joining. As I continue getting my transfers monthly, I will be using them to pay my fees. The rest of the transfers I will use for my upkeep while in college. By the time the transfers will be coming to an end, I will have finished the course I plan to study."

"The biggest difference in my life is the piece of land which we bought. The one we were living in was too small. Now we got a bigger one which I can use for dairy farming. "

"The biggest difference in my life is that now I have a bigger and a better house which I built with these transfers. I also bought a cow which now gives us milk and we have tea with milk unlike before when we would do black tea."

"The biggest difference in my life money which we get from our dairy cow. Before we had no cow in our compound and I would buy milk thought out the year. This has now come to an end after I got one which is now lactating."

"Before I use to spend a lot on buying milk but now am happy that I got to use the milk which I got from my own cow. I had now cow and would be forces to take tea with no milk at times when I wouldn't afford some. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that now I am self employed. I generate income through the business which I started with the transfers which I received. I can take care of family needs with less struggle. Thanks to Give Directly for enabling me to start a business."
