"I spent kes. 290000 in buying two hectares of land, from the two months transfers I received, I managed to spend kes. 11000 in buying a piece of land for my family. I am a father of two, a boy who is 13 years old and in class four and a daughter 9 years old and in class 3. I am a farmer. I do maize and vegetables and also do beans farming. My wife is also a farmer. Before receiving these transfers life was hard and I had a goal of buying my own piece of land since I had not enough land.

"The most outstanding right thing about Give Directly is that it does not discriminate people. Transfers are awarded fairly. You do not depend on rumours. Your aim of eradicating poverty is also a good thing. I always pray for Give Directly so that you may continue changing people's lives. Everything about you is okay, there is actually nothing to improve on."
