"There has been a long standing history of us living in poverty and as years come and go nothing has been done about it. These difficulties increases on a daily basis. Right now as I speake to you I can't provide food for my family, as a pregnant woman sometimes I even go to bed hungry. I don't have a decent living place, where I'm sleeping is very bad. There's no mattress and I have to sleep on sticks bed."

"I am so happy that this transfer has positively changed my family's life. Before receiving this donation, my wife, child and I lived in a small one-bedroom house. It also served as a kitchen, which made us feel embarrassed whenever we would have visitors. I wished that I could change this so we could have a bit of privacy, but I only earn KES 500 a day, from ferrying passengers on my motorbike. The money was not enough for that. With this transfer, however, I have built a new, two-bedroom house, that has a separate kitchen. My family has a decent place to stay in and I am no longer embarrassed to host visitors. Thanks, GD!"
