"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."

"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."
