"The moment I received money from GD I was in disbelief. I was not sure whether GD was serious about sending the money. I knew that my life was going to improve."

"The moment I received the money, I felt very happy. This is because in my entire life, I had never handled this amount of money."

"I felt so happy at that particular time and I thanked God for this wonderful opportunity because I have never at one point thought I could get these large sums of money. I have worked so hard my entire life but I have never earned money like the Give Directly sent me. I thank Give Directly for everything they have done and if there was a way I could pay back I would definitely pay."

"My expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have enough food. I will have bought building materials ready to construct a decent house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, my heart is always filled with happiness. This is because this transfer enabled me to commence the construction of my permanent house. The old house I'm currently staying in developed a crack and I was always scared for my life."

"The biggest difference is that we are now of good health thanks to the support we received fro GD. With the condition, it would have been costly to settle the hospital bills on our own as a family. The city scan is usually very expensive and without the results, the condition would have worsened. My daughter and son are also recovering well and back in school."

"The biggest difference is that I have renovated my house and I no longer get to be rained on when it is raining. This has given me a lot of peace, I am not worried about the weak walls like before now that they have been plastered. My house is now more habitable than it was before the renovations."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, this transfer relieved me from the burden I had of my children's fees. Now the salary I get, meets my other family needs and this enables us afford a balanced diet hence improved standards of living as opposed to past."

"The biggest difference is that currently, I own a motorbike that helps me generate steady income for my household. This was a major challenge in my household. As a casual worker, I was never guaranteed an income so at times I could walk home bare hand meaning no meal for that particular day. Ever since I started the motorbike taxi business food is a luxury in my household."

"The biggest difference is I have managed to plaster my house, install strong doors and windows therefore my house is nice looking compared to the previous state it was."
