"I learnt that I had received my money at around 8:00 am. I became very happy that moment because I had received money for acquiring mattresses."

"In the next six months, I will have saved money to facilitate the admission process come September when I will joining college. The poultry project will have grown as well and hopefully will be generating some revenue that can support me with the upkeep while in school and also support household expenses for my family. I desire to go to school but also ensure that my parents are not burdened as they also have other responsibilities to take care of besides my schooling."

"The house I finished building with GD transfers is the biggest difference in my life. It was my desire to have a decent house and i had started struggling through casual work to raise money to buy materials. Since I only had a small income from casual work, I knew it would take me a long time to finish building the house. With the help of GD transfers, the time taken to build the house was very short because I had the finances to buy all the materials at once. It was one of my proud moment when I finished constructing the house."

"The biggest difference in my life brought about by the transfers is that my son is now in school with all the requirements and in time. I am a peasant farmer and a widow with a small income which has been very strenuous in meeting my needs. At the end of last year when my son was doing his final primary examinations, I did not know if I will manage to raise the money to take him to secondary school. I am thankful GD came to my rescue and I used the money to buy school requirements in time without any debt. It is a miracle to me."

"In the next six months l expect to have started have started saving and atleast bought a few building materials."

"In the next six I expect to have started plastering some part of my house to a void too much dust in the house."

"The piece of land which I bought, I have planted some maize in it and this means that I have more space for farming."

"Now I got my own dairy cow which I didn't have before. Now the animal gives us milk which we consume here at home and the surplus we sell to have income. I no longer spend my money on buying the same an what I save I spend on buying other neccesities."

"I now have good furniture which I didn't have before. The water containers which I also bought has enabled me to have a space to store water for use. Before I would use small containers which would mean that I would exhaust soonest and travel to fetch some every now and then."

"My son had stayed home for 3 years due to lack of school fees as I wouldn't afford to pay his school fees with the little income through casual jobs. Now he has join high school and as a parent I am happy as Give Directly enabled me to pay his school fee. I also bought a cow which now gives us milk and has enabled me to pay my son's school fees."
