"I spent most of my third transfer on payment of school fee for my four children in secondary school. I faced a lot of challenges in raising this school as I had no stable source of income other than sweet potato farming that I engaged in which again was not very reliable. At the time I received the last transfer, the children had accumulated a lot of school fee arrears which could not even allow them continue with their studies in peace. I was therefore so glad when I managed to clear these arrears and had my children resume their studies."

"I only had one chair which couldn't fit my family members and whenever I had visitors I could give them jerrycan to sit on so I used a larger portion of the third transfer on buying furniture.

"I spent a portion of my third transfer on a sofa set to furnish my house which was very empty and embarrassing. Whenever I had visitors, say for example, Give Directly staff, I ran to borrow plastic seats from the neighborhood. This was a bit hectic but had no alternative to this. Secondly, I paid school fee for my daughter who was preparing to sit for her final primary school examinations. I can clearly attest that were it not for the transfer, the daughter could not managed to sit for her examinations but rather dropped out of school to get married. I am happy for the help Give Directly that has seen me this far."

I am happy I am going to have my own house soon."

"I bought sofa set with my last transfer because the ones I had were worn out and old, I also bought a steel window and a steel door for my house which I built with my second transfer lastly I used part of the last transfer to buy fertilizer, seeds, paid the workers who would help me in ploughing and also bought other farming equipment to help me in farming."

I used to use a paraffin lamp and I thought of upgrading to electricity I also bought furniture for my living room, I now live a very comfortable life."

"I spent most of my third transfer on renovating my house which had been constructed halfway and could not be completed due to lack of funds. I was glad that I managed to finish the construction of the house and even plastered the whole of it. In addition to that, I purchased two sets of sofa to furnish the beautifully constructed house that everyone keeps on admiring."
