"Givedirectly did extremely well by providing direct cash for us to decide on our own what we want with the money. They told us in detail who they were and how much we would receive without a refund."

Esther
received an initial payment.
"We didn't know that Givedirectly would send us money. My trustee went to the network area to check our phone. When he got there, luckily for him, Givedirectly had already paid us. He came back to the town to inform us. Upon hearing the good news, the entire town stood outside with joy and celebration the whole day."

Precious
received a $227 initial payment.
"My spouse left me in 2019. When I was pregnant with our second son, life began to get very tough. I started going into the bush in search of plantain and bananas to sell and be able to sustain myself with the pregnancy and my son. I wasn't able to seek proper antenatal care during the pregnancy because I couldn't afford money for transport to go to the hospital for treatment. When I delivery the child, he didn't show up until my son was a year old. My children haven't been to school So I'm planning on enrolling the two of them in school in the nearby town,because we don't have school. I also intend on building a house of my own."
