"My life is different than it would have been if i never received the transfer, i used to think alot and i was getting weaker each day but now am happy and stronger. I also feed well and sleep in a big, secure iron roofed house which i costructed with the Give Directly money. Before i got the money, i used to sleep in a leaking grass thatched house. Am so grateful to Give Directly because there is a big difference in my life."

"I had intended to build a new house with the first two transfers,but because part of it was stolen from me,I had to spend the last transfer to complete the project buy buying the remaining materials and paying the workers."

"The biggest hardship which always disturbs me in my family is poverty since the late died am always moving up and down to see that my children have daily bread. "

"The biggest hardship i face is lack of money for feeding, buying clothes,animals and other house hold items."

"Receiving this money is means of assistance to my family, which am going to use to buy oxygen for ploughing and then the balance for completing my permanent house which is incomplete. "

"The biggest hardship which i face is no oxgyen for cultivation so this has forced me to do casual Labour to those people who have oxgyen befor they come to cultivate in my land ."

"The most exciting thing i plan to do with the transfers is to buy cows and bulls. These cows will produce and provide milk to my family."

"My biggest hardship is inadequacy of money to cater for my household basic and medical needs."

"I used the last cash transfer to build a new permanent house that is more beautiful than what I had initially. I am proud to own such a house now. My husband died and left me in a mud house but I moved away from that when GD came to our village."

"I spent my third transfer on constructing a new house because the house I had been too old and I felt it was risky staying it fearing that it would fall on my family."
