"My children are really growing fast and the need for school fees is growing really fast. in next six months my plan is to invest enough for their education. I want to save enough from my herdsman job job and also with the remaining amount of the transfers i will spend on buying cows.goats and even chicken which I am planning to sell them to pay their school fees as soon as they join school."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, my standard of living has tremendously improved because I feed well, sleep well and due to this new lifestyle; I'm living a much more healthy and happy life."

"Paying school fees has been one of my greatest challenge as a parent. On several occasions, i have had my children dependent on neighbors mercies and well wishers to help raise school fees for my children. I have no formal employment to give me enough earnings to pay their school fees. Our land is also largely arid and we only do subsistence farming. Give directly has renewed my hopes and aspirations of giving my children the best education i can. i believe they will clear school and live better lives."

"I have three children in School, two in secondary school and one in a primary boarding school. Paying school fees for my children has proved to be one of the hardest thing for me. I was at the verge of selling my only cow to help raise school fees for my children. Give directly came in handy to help me pay my accumulated school fees. It has given me hope of securing a better future for my children and pride as a responsible parent. I do not think i would also be living in a better house like the one am living in now"
