When the project began, we had only one cow, but so far, we have managed to save and buy one more that already had a calf. This is a great difference in our lives because buying even a cow is not something that we would have managed to do at this time without the support of Give Directly due to our low income.

We are still living in my in-law's compound but our main wish is to move into our own compound by December this year, so we have agreed to keep buying the required building materials bit by bit each month using our transfer to meet this goal.

At the beginning of this year, after saving my transfers for a while, I was finally able to buy a solar lighting kit that we now use in our house for lighting. This has brought a great difference in our daily lives as we no longer use the kerosene lanterns that produced lots of smoke yet were very dim. My entire house is now well lit and my children can now comfortably and clearly read at night. My daily budget has also gone down because do not have to buy kerosene on a daily basis as I did before.

I hope that in the next six months, we will have moved into our compound and constructed a bigger house than we have now. Our tradition demands that when a man attains a certain age, he should leave his parents' compound and move into his own. This is currently stressing my husband because he needs to move out soon but does not have enough resources. I hope that the transfers will enable us to buy the required materials in time so that we move out in December.

I had no livestock before, but with the help of these transfers, I have managed to buy a cow which has been a great achievement for me because I know this is something I would not own in a very long time without the help of GD.

We are planning to move into our own compound by January next year, but before this can happen, my husband has to pay my dowry as tradition demands. After completing the payment on the sofa sets that we are currently paying for, we will start saving for the dowry payment ceremony. It is usually a very costly affair, that is why my husband and I have decided to make the saving together to achieve it faster.

I have managed to use these transfers to buy a solar lighting system in the past few months which has greatly improved my daily life as my house is now properly lit and my children can read and do their homework night with much more ease. Before I bought the solar lighting system, I was using a kerosene-lantern which was very dim and very costly because I had to budget for kerosene on a daily basis.

I hope that in the next six months, I will have brought home the seats that I am currently paying for which will make my hosue more decent than it is now. I also expect that my dowry will have been paid by then so that we can proceed with other plans of moving out of our in-law's compound into our own.

I was able to buy cattle for my dowry through savings in a table bank. Now, I can buy food easily, pay school fees for my children as i transferred them to a private school from a public school.

I am planning to start up a business that will help generate income for family.

I saved through table banking and was able to buy livestock to help my husband pay for my dowry.

I want to start a business that i plan to use its profit to pay school fee for my children and also save towards building a new house as we still live at my father in-law's homestead.

My life is different because I know have money to buy enough food for my family as opposed to how I used to struggle in the past.

I want to have my own home, something that has always remained a dream to me for quite a long time.

I recently bought a new solar system which I use to illuminate my house during night hours. I also use the money to pay for my school without struggling so much.

My life will have changed because I will have money to build my own home and live a peaceful life thereafter.

Yes,I have a new goal and I believe I will have built a new big house.

My life is different from how it would have never been had I never received the transfer as I have the money to buy my daily needs which was unlike before where I could not afford the same.

In the next six months,I want to have bought new seats for my living room as the ones I have now are not so nice.

Since I started receiving this money,the biggest difference in my daily life is that I am able afford anything I want as I have the money.
