"The biggest hardship I have faced is the passing away of my first wife who left me behind with two children whom I had to take care of alone. Loneliness engulfed me and the pressure of remarrying put me in the hardest situation. People stigmatized against me and getting the current wife was not easy. Life was tough on me."

"I spent my third transfer on buying house construction materials, in readiness for building on a better house on a new location . As a couple, we have been planning for years to move from my father-in-law's land and relocate to our own compound as required by Luo traditions and there build our house. This has been impossible due to lack of finances. Thank you GD for making this possible."
