"I hope that in the next six months, I will have raised enough money to buy the necessary construction materials and constructed a new kitchen which can also serve as a bedroom for my teenage grandchildren. Constructing this kitchen will also save my family from always inhaling toxic smoke from the firewood used whenever we have to cook inside the house, especially during the rainy season as we will no longer use the main house."

"I believe that were it not for Give Directly, I wouldn't have managed to complete building my house that was halfway done. For a long time now, the construction process was stopped because we didn't have enough money to complete it. But when Give Directly came it was a new dawn for us because we knew that we would complete the house which we have now moved in. Apart from that, I also purchased some clothes for our children. I feel proud because I used to get embarrassed when they wore indecent clothes. Our lives are now better and I thank Give Directly for that."

"In the next six months I expect to have joined college and paying my college fee on my own through my project of poultry keeping."

"In the six months I will now focused on farming being that it is the only way I can generate money, since i have finished receiving money from give directly."

"In the next six months l do not expect any big change although I will continue enjoying the benefits I got while I was still receiving money from give directly."

"My life wil have become good because I will have completed school payment for my son. I will now remain with the money I will be getting every month to spend on other needs that will grow my families wellness. I will even have the national Hospital Insuarance Fund cover for my family to allow us to have accves yo good healthcare services. "

"I will have more from livestock investment. When I invest my savings in sheep, I will see to it that they multiply and be a big income generation activity. "

"I am a widow with four children and raising up this children has been the biggest hardship in my life.Even before my husband passed on I was struggling to feed my children.My husband disappeared for several years only to come back later when he was sick.Unfortunately he passed on leaving me alone with the kids.I can say that I have raised my children alone for 30 years.I live in a small piece of land where I practise subsistence farming. This is not enough to cater for the basic needs.I am therefore forced to do casual jobs in order to get money.For example I have a daughter who is supposed to join college and I had to be a nanny in order to see her through secondary school."

"I have seven children and providing them with basic needs and education is quite a huge task.My husband and I are casual labourers which earns us very little money.Getting work to do is also not guaranteed.This has had us struggle especially in paying school fees.My first born who is now in university has gone through a lot due to lack of school fees.She was in and out of school which made me feel so bad as a parent.I once felt that I had failed as a parent but I am glad she finally made it to the university.My second born will be joining secondary school next year and this is giving me sleepless nights.Getting money for school fees is therefore the biggest hardship I have faced in my life."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy oxen that will support in cultivation. I believe this is how I will best benefit from these transfers. "
