"My life is different with this money in that I was relieved from the stress of my sister's tuition fees and my grandmother's treatment being the elder child in the family, I wouldn't have handled my sister's tuition fees and my grandmother's treatment easily without this transfer."

"My life is different with this transfer in way that the family income has greatly increased because of the motorbike I bought which does transport business, buying a motorbike was not possible without Give Directly's transfer."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is, failure to pay rent that forced me to sell my bicycle to be able to raise the rent arrears."

"The achievement am proudest of was the decision to start rearing livestock. It has helped me in several occasions.When I was in need of my children school fees, I could sell and use the money to settle the fee arrears."

"Receiving this money means to buy a piece land and a cow. This land i shall give to my elder son to settle and the cow will produce more calves to cater for future needs."

"The main difference is that i have self esteem and can now cultivate on a large piece of land than if I had not received this support, there would have been good insecurity at my household. "

"Give Directly has given me hope to live for more years and if I had not received it, I would have died due to worries of old age."

"The transfers shall help me buy oxen and ox-plough for ploughing. My father gave me a share of land but i do not have oxen and ox-plough to maximize its use."

"The biggest hardship i face is lack of food. My family always does cropping late each season due to lack of oxen,hence receiving low crop out put."

"My proudest achievement is I have been able to save money I earned from riding some one's motorbike and buy my own, this has increased my income and am able to provide for my family better than before."
