The biggest difference in my life is that l am now staying in a iron roofed house where I am never worried about rainnny seasons compared to before when I used to be worried more so when it used to rain when I was not at home. I have earn a name in the village, I am now able to interact, socialize and share with my agemates something that I was just longing for.

In my opinion give directly did a very good thing by giving money to the most need people, there was no corruption through their processing and the staffs were so respectful to the community. They also did a very good thing by training people before starting the program.

I spent most of the transfer to add more building materials and built a spacious iron roofed house in my own compound. I was staying in a very small and old house which was also leaking, when it is raining i could put things in one corner which was a bit safe. I am now the most happiest person in our village because I am no longer staying in a small leaky house where people were no longer stay in any more. I was so embarrassed but there was nothing I could do because I could not afford to buy iron sheets. I am now staying in a spacious comfortable house where I am not worried when it is raining and I am very confident when I have visitors because I know it will accommodate all of them. I also spent the transfer to buy furniture being that I did nit have any think comfortable to sit on. The remaining balance I spent to pay school fee for my children who sent home school fee and I did not have money to pay for. I am happy because they are not bring sent home for school fee any more.

The biggest difference in my life since I received this transfer is that I have an iron-roofed house. Before the transfer, I used to live a grass-thatched house with leaking and was too small for my family. During the rainy seasons, I used to send my children to my neighbour's house because we could not manage to sleep in the same house. My wife and I would hardly sleep at such nights. We would keep moving from one corner to other looking for where the roof does not leak. When I received this transfer, I saw a new house in my life. This is a dream come true in my life because of GD.

When I received this money, I felt very happy. I did not know I would ever receive such amount of money in my life. I knew my dream of owning an iron-roofed house would surely come to pass. I really thank GD for changing and bringing hope to my life.

I spent my first transfer on paying school for my daughter who had been sent home for the same. She had stayed home for two weeks as I was still looking for money to pay in school. I also used part of the transfer on buying building materials such as iron sheets, nails and timber which I used on building a new house. The one I had before was too small and had a leaking roof. During the rainy seasons, I could not sleep well because I would move into the house as I look for a comfortable place where the roof does not leak. The remaining part of the transfer I used in buying tree seedlings which I have planted. I know in the next five years, I will be able to sell to raise money to handle other family issues.
