received a $481 second payment.
"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!"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am hopeful of expanding my kitchen into a two roomed one since I have bought the necessary building materials for my daughter and son to sleep in hence my son will longer have to walk in the middle of the night to look for a place to sleep from my neighbor's due to lack of space. 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. Again, I practice livestock farming which I had been dreaming of before then. The bigger house has really eased us from congestion and therefore it is the biggest difference in my daily life."
