"I have been selling charcoal for the past 5 years to feed my family but recently it became an illegal business due to the ban by the government. Receiving this money comes as a relief to me as I will be able to venture into a new business of motorcycle transport. I will buy my own motorcyle which will provide income for my family on a daily basis while also making movement of goods and people in the village to be faster and efficient. "

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt so happy and I thanked God for his provision. I never had any money for buying what I wanted Give Directly is a blessing to me. "

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt so happy because it was an opportunity for me to settle the debt that had bothered me for long."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt so happy and relieved. I started imagining an Iron roofed house in my compoud, snakes used to attack me in the bush whenever I went to look for grass thatch."

"I depend on subsistence farming which is not enough to sustain my family needs. This has made it difficult to educate my children which saw my two sons missing secondary school education. Therefore, I will use part of this transfer to enroll my daughter who completed secondary education two years ago in college. I will also start hotel business at Tindini center in order to sustain her education, and also generate more income to cater for food and medical needs. From this business, I will save and purchase oxen that I will use to plough my land and also for commercial purposes. This will help curb food shortage and increase my family income."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I can afford a peaceful sleep not only because I have comfortable bedding but also because I no longer sleep on the ground where we could be bitten by a snake at any time especially during the rainy season when the snakes could get in houses seeking for dry shelter."

"My ambition in life is to have my own home and be able to provide for my children with all their needs. I want to become a successful business man especially in life of transportation. I want to invest more so that my family can have all they need and have a good future with better education. "

"Owning a bigger house has always been a challenge and it always kept me in deep thoughts wondering how to raise money for constructing the house because it pained me seeing my children staying in such a poor conditioned house. I'm happy, proud and I'm currently settled psychologically because I have achieved the dream of owning my dream house. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the feeling of safety because I'm currently staying in a new safe and comfortable house. I'm not worried anymore whenever it rains that the house might fall on us or might be blown off by wind, and we do not have to spend a lot of time too, parking my household stuff in one safe corner whenever it rains so that they couldn't be ruined by the rain as it was the case previously."

"My life is different than it would have been because before life was blick in our eyes, but now we are happy to have acquired items we never imagined to own in our life time. "
