"I spent part of my third transfer on paying school fees for son who is secondary. I have been struggling to pay school fees and GiveDirectly came to my aid, and being that he is in school and he has to look for a place to sleep when schools close, I also spent part of the money on buying him building materials that he, my son, will use to build his own house. The remaining I spent on food for my family consumption."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that i have been able to buy cows that will enable me marry my wife in the near by future."

"The biggest difference in my life is that i now have peace of mind and i have hope of constructing a very beautiful home. I bought very nice clothes that even when i put on am very smart. The business i have started is giving me money which is enabling me to provide basic needs to my family. Am so grateful to Give Directly."

"The moment I recieved my fransfer I was very happy and am still happy."

"The achievement i am proudest of is when i was able to buy a piece of land"

"The achievement i am proudest of is when i had planted half an acre of cabbages and the harvest was good and i was able to market it at a good price hence making enough money to help my family"

"The biggest hardship i have faced is that a few days ago a very heavy rain swept over my farm which i had just planted maize and beans.This has caused me heavy losses since i have to begin looking for seeds again to plant"

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is our inability to pay school fees for my children. Sometimes we go without food in order to at least pay some of it. Another is that, we do not have good housing for my family. The only building is our grass tached house which barely accommodate the seven of us. "

"I am happy that my life is now very vibrant and my children are much healthier compared to how our lives were . We would still be very poor and miserable if givedirectly had not given me the cash transfers."

"The achievement i am proudest of is my cow which i bought through saving small money from my casual labour."
