"The biggest hardship i have faced is difficulty in paying my children's school fees."

"When i receive this money, i will build a house and buy a motorcycle to help in boda boda business."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is the burden of upbringing the children single handedly and paying school fees."

"My life is now different in that I can keep my children in school. I had no means to pay for their school fees. I can now keep them in school and be able to pay for their school fees in future, with the proceeds from milk that I will receive from the cow that I will purchase with the transfers. I am grateful to Give Directly."

"My life is now different since i now own a dairy cow hence continuous milk supply for my family something which was a dream in the past, before I received the transfer, I used to spend most of my money to buy milk from my neighbor which I can now save and use in educating my children."

"My life is different than it would have been if I would have not received the transfer because the transfer has changed my life positively. Nowadays, people who were once looking down upon me can easily talk to me, ask me to transport their loads with the hand-drawn cart which I bought with the transfer, unlike before when people had no reason to talk to me."

"For so long, my children have been sleeping at my neighbors house and this has always left me an unhappy person and always feeling that I am not a responsible parent. I thank God since all this is in the past now. Owning a house is my greatest achievement so far which has changed my daily life from one full of worries to a happier one as I know that my children are always safe for they no longer walk at night."

"Before GiveDirectly came to my village, I had been having an ear problem which needed some surgery and due to lack of money, I was going through a lot of pain and I had started developing some hearing problems. After receiving my transfers, my daily life has really changed since I am no longer in pain and I can hear clearly unlike before and I give all thanks to Givedirectly for changing my life."

"It was around 4 am in the morning when I received two consecutive messages nad upon reading them, I became so happy. At that instant, I started singing silently then prayed to thank God for His Blessings upon my life."

"My life is different now since I have an iron roofed house as compared to past when I used to live in a grass thatched house. I built a two-roomed house which can now accommodate all my family members .In the past, my children used to do their homework in the kitchen and at times I disturb them with the house chores, but now they can do their homework in the new house without any disturbance."
