"As with the first transfer, I also used the second transfer to buy more sewing machines. I bought one electronic big Singer brand sewing machine and a manual sewing machine. I have since placed all of these in my tailoring shop and I am already reaping the benefits, my shop is the busiest and I can showcase much more skill because of the variety of sewing machines that I have."

"I used to get tired of walking long distances but now i just get my bike and go whenever i want and in most years January is usually a hard month for my family as we have to do piece works just to find food but now we can afford food."

"Being able to clear the huge school fees balance for my son who is in college has brought the biggest difference in my daily life. Since I never got the chance to go to school, my wish as a parent was to see my children getting good education. Therefore after I received my first transfer my first priority was to clear his school fees arrears. The money actually came at the right time because he was about for his final exams and this was really stressing me because as always he was to be sent home and stay for weeks before he could return to back to school. I am now hopeful and happier because I am assured that he will have a bright future courtesy of GiveDirectly."

"Having cleared school fees for my children has really brought the biggest difference in my daily life. Before the coming of GiveDirectly, my children used to sent home every now and then to collect school fees. But since I used to depend on temporary jobs they could sometimes stay home for several weeks and this prompted them to miss important exams and this really affected their academic performance. Two of my children had even opted to drop out of school since they were hopeless and really frustrated me. After I received the money my first priority was to pay their school fees so that they can continue with their studies like the rest. I am now certain that they will have a bright future even though they will not be able to inherit any assets from me. ,"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now having several goats that I am currently rearing in my compound. I have been longing to own them for quite a long time but I could not afford to own them because they were very costly. I settled in purchasing them because their offsprings mature faster compared to the other domestic animals. This makes me believe that I would go far and achieve sot through them. Also, the goats can survive in any climatic condition, and because in my village is a semi-arid region I believe they will survive without any difficulties. Currentky some have started reproducing and this means they will increase in number within a short period of time. My wish is when they multiply, I will start a business of selling the offspring as soon as they mature to the local market. Through this business, I am optimistic that I will no longer have to strain in meeting my family's needs as I used to."
