"The biggest difference in my daily life is the new house that I am soon going to stay in. I have been living an old hut that has not been good condition.

"My greatest desire is to be able to have sufficient crop production both for domestic consumption and for outside supplies, a business I intend to setup within the village. First of all, I will use part of my transfers to purchase two oxen and an ox-plough.Having that will enable me to prepare my land efficiently and in good time resulting to better harvest. Secondly, I will take my child back to college. He dropped out of school due to lack of school fee. It will be his greatest joy to finally complete his education and secure a better future. Finally, I will secure myself a better medical attention."

"Lately I have been feeling pain in my stomach and whenever I go to the hospital they have not been able to do proper diagnosis due to the fact that I cannot afford proper medical attention.

"Last year I lost sixteen cows due to famine that hit our land. I depended on the cows for milk and other farming activities like ploughing my farm. Unfortunately, I lost all of them thereby leaving me without any stable source of income and this comes at a time when my son needs school fees for joining secondary school of which I am not able to raise.

"For a very long time I have had the desire to start my own business of goats trade. But due to lack of capital, I have been unable to.Receiving this money therefore means I will realise my dream of starting up goats trade business.It's easier and cheaper to buy goats in our area and resell to make a minimum of 50% profit. This will in turn help me pay school fees for my two children in secondary school and ensure that we have enough food in the house always. It's such a lucrative business and I can't wait to start with the money from Givedirectly. "
