"I spent UGX500000 to purchase household items like four mattresses, two beds, clothes, a radio cassette, utensils and beddings. I am planning to spend the balance of UGX1200000 to buy bricks and food for my family."

"My daily life has tremendously changed with a lot of happiness, I have plastered my house which looks so good, I have also acquired household items like Mattresses, Utensils and clothes among other things. I keep praying for Give Directly to progress in their work and may the Almighty God bless GD and their staff for such a wonderful job done."

"I now have a new high density mattress which I never had before when I used to sleep on a mat on the floor. This is a big change in my life right now. Moreover, I now find it so easy to buy more than enough food because I have enough cash at my disposal due to the cash transfers I get from GD."

"When GD was working in our village I was enrolled in an abandoned house belonging to the Kenya railways company because we couldn't afford to construct a house since we did not have a stable source of income. My spouse who is the primary earner does casual work and the income he earns out of it can only cater for food for the family. The moment when we received the first transfer we used part of it to purchase building materials which we have already used to construct a house. I'm happy and proud I have a decent spacious house. We didn't have comfortable bedding, and we could sleep on a papyrus mat which was so uncomfortable sleeping on. So a portion of the money we used to purchase a mattress and a bed and I'm happy we can now sleep comfortably."
