"Receiving this transfer really caused a lot of happiness within me. After a long time in my life, I felt good. I have never received such amount of money in my life before. I looked to my roof and spoke to it saying the struggles are no more."

"The biggest difference in my life now is that school fees arrears for my daughter who had been sent home several times this year have been settled. This has been my biggest worry since the little I get from casual work could not support us in food and school fees. I once took a loan to help me in paying school fees and when I was not able to pay back, they took my goat instead. When I received this transfer, I just felt I needed to settle the arrears so that my daughter can study in peace and avoid the shame I used to go through when she was being sent home for the same. Right now I feel at peace because GD has helped me accomplish this goal of paying school fees."

"Since I did not have a stable source of income and had to depend on casual work to raise money to meet my family demand, I have never been able to fulfil my dream of farming in large scale. The piece of land I inherited from my late husband is too small to help me realize my dream. This is the reason why I have not been able to provide for my family well because casual work alone is not enough to help me feed my family well. When I received this transfer, I had to budget well and kept a portion of it to help me in leasing in a piece of land which I will use for farming. When I went inquiring the cost, I was happy that I was able to lease one acre. I have since ploughed and harrowed. Come next year, I will plant early before the rains and then use part of my second transfer to buy hybrid seeds and fertilizers which will greatly improve my harvest. This is the beginning of my new life. I know I will not struggle anymore like I used to. Thanks to Give Directly."

"The moment I received my money, I became very happy and run out to my compound shouting in joy while drumming one of my jerrycans."

"The moment I received my money, I was overwhelmed with joy and started dancing while shouting in joy."
