"Givedirectly is helping us financially and making us self dependent"

"The enrollment process and receipt of all transfers went so smoothly because they were handled by a well-organized team from Give Directly. I am glad that everyone in their household was given the opportunity to listen to and understand the program after asking questions that the visiting staff answered well. Since then, no one has complained, but everyone thanks the organization for its generous support and hopes that it will return once everyone has received it."

"I began building a new house with a portion of my first transfer but stopped after using up some of the materials that I could afford at the time. I put the construction work on hold because I was expecting the second transfer. When I received the second transfer, I purchased 34 iron sheets for $8 each, as well as floor tiles, ceiling boards, and wall paints, and I paid the labor charges with a portion of the remaining funds when the construction was completed. I am relieved that my family of five now has enough space and a decent home, which has greatly increased our esteem when entertaining visitors. I later spent the remainder on a farewell for my son, who was about to start university after I bought him a suitcase to carry his belongings. Previously, I relied on a small maize buying and selling business as well as surplus milk from my cow that I could sell to cover household expenses."

"I hope to live in a decent house before long."

"Givedirectly is helping us financially and making so proud of ourselves"

"GiveDiretly's incredible work has lifted many poor families in our village, and they are grateful. I was delighted to be a part of this program, and the transformation I witnessed is due to GiveDirectly's wise decision to provide us with financial support. The spending patterns in the village varied depending on the challenges that everyone was facing at the time. We understood how the program worked, and it would be an honor if other villages received similar assistance."

"I live with my spouse and children. We live in a one-bed room house and it has been leaking massively for so long. We depend on farming for survival and we can't build a house for us, so We decided to build a decent house for my entire family. and I'm planning to open a little business for upkeep."

"This organisation brings joy to the lives of many people who have been facing a lot of challenges in life. They are the real life changers for the entire country."

"I'm grateful for this lifetime opportunity given to us by Givedirectly, which brought a lot of joy to my family. My household had been struggling financially to the extent we couldn't send our children to school or be able to complete our little home. The money was used to purchase cement to plaster our house and cover my children's fees for the entire semester."

"I haven't cash out my transfer yet."
