"I recall it was at 3 pm when I received a text message showing that I had received money from GiveDirectly. It was raining heavily outside. I was scrolling through my phone when suddenly a text message popped up showing that I had received a sum of $550. I felt so good, and grateful to God for this gift. I called my husband and told him the good news which he received with great pleasure because he knew we would achieve our plans."

"The biggest difference in my life now is seeing my children look neat, clean, and dressed in decent clothing. That melts my heart. They are mostly happy and excited. This makes me feel content, especially for those milestones I've achieved. I've been able to save cash seeing that I no longer buy milk."

"When I received my first transfer, I used $300 to buy a dairy cow and used another $100 to revive a business that my husband used to run before. The remaining amount of money was used to buy basic household needs for my family that is still helping us as a family. I made a decision to invest the money in dairy since I saw this as an investment that would help me in the near future to meet other needs for my family. It also met the most immediate needs and that is provision of milk to my family- something that had remained scarce in my family for the longest time."

"I spent most of my recent transfer on enlarging my cocoa farm"

"I have not withdrawn it yet am waiting for my last transfer."

"I am currently facing a problem of sickness which hasn't enabled me to work as I used to work some time back which has brought about scarcity of food in the family. I also face a problem of lack of school fees and uniforms for my grand children to attend school regularly and perform well in class."
