"I spent the transfers on matress, beddings and clothes for my family. And other building materials for the house. And the rest I have saved for future use."

"The hardship Iam facing in my life is lack of food, I am old and no one is giving any assistance and when I cultivate the size of the produce is just 45 kilograms which is not enough until the next season."

"This money will be big help to me because I will build a big house that is enough for me and my children."

"This money will be huge help to me. By receiving the transfer will enable me to buy cows as a stock to my new business."

"Givedirectly has done well in all dealings with recipients and there is nothing i can single out as shortfall"

"I am a divorced single mother who takes care of her 3 children on her own without any help from my ex husband. Had I not received this transfer, I would not be able to pay for my child's school fees and to rely on myself. I would not be able to afford the livestock, blankets and the school fees."

"Givedirectly is doing well in distributing cash to marginalised Malawians so that they are able to live comfortable life. There is nothing i can mention which the organisation does not do well"

"I have been so much happier since I received the transfers from GD. I am able to better my life. I was really poor, unable to afford most basics. I am now in a better position to afford to live a better life. I did not have a nice place to sleep but I bought a mattress where I now sleep. I have built a house and now can proudly say it is almost finished. I was also unable to afford other small everyday things like food, school fees and clothes. I can now afford all these and my children look better."

"So far as I have been helped by Give Directly, I have not had any bad experiences. None of my neighbours have had bad experiences either. All we have are praises. This organization has really helped change our lives. Alot of us now have better houses because of the transfers from GD. We now have businesses we could not afford to have on our own before. We have been able to solve alot of our problems through the use of the transfers. Some people had no food before. I was one of them. I can now afford to buy food and do not worry about hunger anymore."

"My life has changed completely because of the assistance given from give directly. I have managed to buy 30 iron sheets."
