"I bought a water pump to help me in my horticulture farming this I did with my last transfer, I also bought two bulls to help me in ploughing the farm. Farming has helped me alot I have acquired a tender to supply vegetables like tomatoes and kale in a nearby school and retailers also get to get their vegetables from my farm."

"I spent a portion of my third transfer on building materials such as iron sheets, timber, nails and many more that I planned to use in construction of a new house once all my children are around. The house I live in at the moment is very weak following the many years it has served us. It's roof too had worn out with leakages all over which frequently damaged my household items. I am happy that very soon I will be moving out of the house to a new and a better one."

"Receiving this money means i will be able to marry a woman and settle as a family. "

"The moment I received a mobile money message on my phone, I jumped out of my and jubilated with my wife. We danced and praised God for helping us through Givedirectly."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I feel relived because I know that my children will have enough food as I am going to get my own land to cultivate as much as I want. "

"The biggest hardship i have faced is lack of money to set up more houses for shelter in our compound.The three bed room house we are using is being shared by over twelve members as well as a store for our agricultural harvests "

"Receiving this money means i will be able to buy a piece of land, pay school fees for my children, pay medical bills and buy livestock."

"It was at 10:30pm when I was a message on my phone and realized it was from Mobile money. At that moment, I felt an inner joy and I was very happy. "

"The floor of my house was plastered with soil, we mix soil water and cow dung to plaster and this exercise is always repeated so many times because it always wears out so fast and the walls too are made of soil so when it rains the walls will fall out, so for this reason when I received my last transfer I purposed to end this and plaster the floor with cement and the walls too."

"I spent my third transfer on building a new house. I had bought building materials using my second transfer.So,my third transfer went to paying the laboures. I used to stay in a very squeezed house and now I am in a very spacious three roomed house. I also spent some money to boost my kiosk business. With this I am able to feed my family comfortably. I have moved from one level to another. I am better off than before."
