"Life in our village is very tough that educating a child post primary level is a big achievement. Despite having the desire to have my children educated, my first born never stepped in school due to the harsh life we are facing. The nature of my husband's jobs cannot sustain our needs. Lack of reliable source of income to support my children's education is the biggest hardship I have ever faced."

"My life has greatly improved in that, I own livestock that I hope to be a source of my livelihood in the near future when they multiply. Before, I found it very hard to accumulate money to buy whatever I bought with this transfers."

"My life is changed in that, I commenced the construction of my permanent house. Previously, I had wished to build one but never had the financial backing. In addition, the GD transfers enabled me to meet my family needs that were lacking most especially utensils and beddings."

"My life is different in that, I built a permanent house and own livestock. Previously, I slept in an old house that almost collapsed on me. In addition, I didn't have oxen to plough my farm land and it proved costly for me to hire and work at other people's farm land in order to have my cres of land ploughed as well."

"My life has greatly changed in that, I live a happy life that has been brought about by the construction of a permanent house. Previously, rainy seasons were my greatest nightmares because the thatched house I slept in used to leak every time it rained. In addition, I didn't have any source of income to build a better structure hence leading to stress."

"My life has greatly improved in that, I bought livestock. Previosuly, I didn't have money to buy them and therefore, never had anything I coud sell to get money for meeting urgent family needs like medical."

"My life is now different in that, I built a permanent house that has restored a peace of mind to me. In the past, I used to worry a lot over how to rescue myself from an old leaking thatched house I stayed in. The thatch material was also very expensive and I couldn't afford them to renovate the house since I didn't have money."

"My life is better now, in that the contineous monitoring and calls from givedirctly staff has made me acquire a house. My trustee would have spent all the transfers if it was not the contineous follow up from Givedirectly staff."

"My life has improved in that i nolonger share a small house with children. I do have privacy now compared to when i used to sleep together with children and chicken in the same house."

"My life is greater now in that i have land of my own. I didn't have land and used to rent for farming which was not sustainable for food production. Long live Givedirectly. "
