"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to build a latrine. Previously, I used to go to the bush. These were the most embarrassing moments. I could never relieve my self in peace especially when I heard someone was approaching my direction. People have talked ill on me a number of times and it was so humiliating and embarrassing. I am glad that this will not happen again. I feel happy using my own latrine. At least I do not have fidget like I used to do while peeing in the bush. Nowadays I am composed and carry myself like a lady when I go to relieve myself. I thank Give Directly for removing this shame in my family."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I now have a cow which I had only dreamt of getting way back in the past but I could never afford to buy it due to financial deficiency. Apart from that, I am glad to say that I now have a solar-powered machine that helps in illuminating my house, especially during the night hours. My family can now enjoy proper and safe lighting at night as compared to the old paraffin lamps that we used to have previously."

"With part of my second transfer, I was able to start a cereal business that I can say is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never had any business or any other source of income and mostly depended on my husband who was overburdened by the family responsibilities. I am now able to assist my him in taking care of the needs and I am happy that I am being useful to my family. Without the transfer, I don't think I would ever own a business of my own and I am so thankful for the miracle that God did to bring GD our way."

"The number of my goats has really increased and my plan is to sell some of them in future so that I can raise money to buy a dairy cow. Having a dairy cow will be the biggest achievement as I will be able to produce enough milk to sell within my community and for my own personal consumption."

"I expect in the next six months to have enough yields from the harvest. Therefore, accessing food would no longer be a challenge. Before I did not have money to purchase farm inputs such as manure and seeds and, as a result, my family members used to miss meals due to meagre harvest every season."

"Were it not for the organization, I do not think that I would have managed to pay school fees for my kids who had a very huge amount of school fees arrears yet I had no money that I could use to bail them out. I am happy that I managed to pay school fees for the kids and made them concentrate on their studies without missing out on the lessons."

"As an aged polygamous family, we live a life that is very miserable. I have two sons who are working but they do not support me at all. I am forced to do tedious jobs of burning charcoal in order to sustain my family needs. I consider lack of reliable source of income as the biggest hardship I have ever faced."

"In the next six months, I want to be able to lease a farm so that I can venture into large scale farming. This will see me boost my harvest which I can consume and sell the surplus."

"I will save more and boost my business to learn more income for my family. I want to be able to have something to fall back to when the transfers shall have stopped. I want to finish renovating my house by then. I expect to live in a beautiful house by the end of that duration."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack money for paying my son's school fees ,who is currently studying in Bukedea secondary school."
