The biggest difference in my life is that l am now using solar to light my house which is very convenient to my family and of a great help to my children when they are studying as compared to before when they were using tin lump. Solar has also become like a source of income because I use it to charge phones for people and get money for my up keep, which was not the case before. The better part of it is that I no longer spend money to buy parrafin which was very costly.

In my opinion Give directly did very well by training people before starting the program, at least they created awareness of what they were doing. They also did well by dealing with people directly and not forcing people to get into the program. I did not see what Give directly did not do well.

I spent most of the transfer to buy solar system for lighting my house because I have been admiring houses with electricity and solar, being that I could afford to connect electricity I decided to buy solar. So when I got the money I spent most of the transfer to buy solar system for lighting my house.This has enabled my children carryout their studies with ease compared to when they were using tin lump which was affecting their eyes and they were also experiencing frequent flue because of the smoke from the tin lump.It was also very expensive to buy paraffin each and every time. The tin lump had so many challenges making it inconvenient because sometimes it run out of parrafin while they were still studying. I was also tired of buying parrafin every now and then. The remaining balance I spent on farming where by I bought manure and seeds that I use to plant on my farm since by doing this I am very sure of getting better produce which will be enough to sustain my family for so long without spending money to buy maize from the market.

The biggest difference is that I live in a more stable cement plastered wall house with nice and comfortable sofas. My house is well lighted at night thanks to the solar system. This was a dream that I had waited for so long. Initially, all this was the exact opposite. My house was almost falling down because of the weak mud walls and I had no sofas. At night I had to use candles for lighting.

I had been dreaming of getting some amount of money to repair my house but this was just a dream given that I am an orphan life was unfair I could tell myself that. Receiving such an amount from GD was a dream come true just like in the fairy tales. I felt blessed and favored like God had answered my long awaited prayer.

I had started to get worried because of the heavy rains. My house was leaning on one side one could think it's falling down the next minute. When I received my transfer, I repaired my house by building cemented walls to prevent the heavy rains from bringing it down. I also bought sofa seats so that my visitors can get a comfortable place to sit on whenever they visit. The remaining amount I installed a solar system to help light my house at night.
