received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that today my house looks very presentable and I would always wish to have guest because I know I own almost the best seats in the village. I never used to own a seat and the one I had belonged to my mother-in-law which I had given her back. I never thought I would one day own such beautiful seats but thanks to GD. This has even raised my self esteem in away."

Steven
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I moved a step closer to owning my own home since I was able to buy construction materials (iron-sheets). Materials have always been the hindrance to me owning my own home from my father's compound because my worry was how I would manage to construct a descent house. Owning a home will help me be more independent and I would be able to make some important decisions independently such as where to plant tree and start making my home look presentable early enough."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I had many problems, including a leaking grass-thatched house and it always made us wet in rainy seasons. Thank you because we are now comfortable. Again we did not harvest much last planting season, but managed to buy grain and we get enough to eat. Thank you very much GD for making a difference."
