"The biggest difference is that my daughter has been admitted to school with zero debt at hand. Thanks to GD, I did not sell the only land I had neither organise for a fundraiser to take her to school. I also dress properly as compared to the patched clothes I had before receiving the transfers. My life has changed to the extent that I have become a talk in the village of how God works miracles in the lives of widows."

"The biggest difference is that my family anticipates living in a much bigger house as compared to the one we currently live in once the construction is over. This means more privacy for my kids as most of them are at their adolescent stage where privacy is the order of the day. We will enjoy the comfort of space which was not the case in the precious tiny house."

"my life is different because I have a better house as compared the to the one I was living in before. I am also having a source of income I can rely on to feed my family. My children can also stay in school without the fear of being sent home for fee arrears."

"I was a squatter i my sister's piece of land and this made me feel so worthless in the community but as at now I own my piece of land and already built my home on it. This is a big step which I could not make on my own without the help of Give Directly."

"In the next six months l expect to have started my project of large scale farming."

"My life has been of a great change compared to the previous one. As a family, we had one source of income basically from my husband's casual wages which was hand to mouth income, but now I can testify that, out of my business, the family is capable of meeting it's basic needs without straining and without debts. The family is now able to have three meals in a day which never used to be reality at first."

"I was very happy and I felt like a miracle had been sent my way. I received the money after an accident and I could not work so the transfers helped me meet my needs and those of my family."

"The biggest difference is that I can cook in my kitchen even on a rainy day without fear of getting rained on thanks to the new roofing. Besides that, my kitchen is now more spacious and my animals can shelter in at night unlike before they used to sleep outside where they could be rained on and even risked being attacked by wild animals or theft."

"The biggest difference is that I now can farm vegetable for both domestic and as a cash crop. This will help me generate income for my family as well as put food on my table. Before, this was not the case. The vegetables could either die due to drought or eaten up by the goats and sheep due to lack of proper fencing. This has been solved by the new tank that stores water and the strong fence to keep the animals out of the farm. My farming has improved drastically."

"The biggest difference is that I can now drive legally without fear of being arrested. My movement has also been made easier thanks to the new motorcycle. I save a lot on transport and it also acts as a source of income."
