"The biggest hardship I face is sickness. Iam so much disturbed by uclers and kidneys ever since I lost my dear children. "

"My biggest hardship is lack of enough money to establish an iron roof shelter for my household."

"Receiving this money means investing in house construction. This money will enable us construct an iron roof house for shelter."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been in position to own live stock(2 cow, 3 piglets and a goat) that I couldn't own before receiving this money, with my cows, am also expecting to improve on my diet by taking milk and generate some income by selling the milk once the cows produce."

"My ambitions is to own my own house as paying rent has been a problem to me due to lack of a stable source of income. I would also want to boost my existing business of selling water and live a good life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am staying in a more decent and spacious house. I have no more worries like before that I will be rained on when it is raining. I used to be afraid because my house was almost collapsing on me and hence I could not sleep at night due to a lot of worries."

"During my free time I usually woke up at 7:00am where I wash clothes until 11:00am where I prepare my children to go and visit my grandmother in Ruiru in upcountry then later in evening I come back and help my children with work if there is any then i prepare supper and we sleep at 10:00pm"

"My usual days end or begin at 5:00am in the morning, where I arrive home from a hectic night at work. I work as a motorcycle rider from 9:00pm in the night, up to 5:00am in the morning. This makes me spend my days asleep to recover from the previous hectic night. I transport both goods and passengers via motorcycle for my boss, who pays me on commission. I usually get home in the morning at 5:00am and then I freshen up before going to sleep for about 10 hours, up to around 4:00pm or 5:00pm in the evening. I then wake up to freshen up again, have a meal and then prepare for work at night. In my free time I enjoy to rap and sing, write rhymes, spend time with friends, and swimming."

"I now have some hope of having a descent home than the one I have been having before Give Directly came to our village."

"The moment I received my money ,I felt very happy."
