"The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I spend with my children together always both at night and during the day. This is after constructing for them a place to sleep and study as opposed to before when they never had a room or a house in my compound. They used to cruise in the dark to search for places to sleep and therefore it was not healthy and secure for them but I am glad the problem is solved!"

I have a donkey which I did have to assist's me in water collecting thus I no longer have to make several trips to collect water in the nearby river which is our water source."

"Currently, I have a goat and a bigger house called Give Directly. Initially, I lived in a tiny one, one room house where we could get it hard even to change clothes.
