"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."

"I have been living in a small house for long. My children are not helping to construct good house me , so I will build a spacious house for me to live comfortably like others."

"The hardship that I am facing in my life is employment. Me and my husband are jobless and my family needs to be taken care of."

"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."

"Before i received the transfer i used to sleep on poor beddings and had no hope that one time i would sleep on matress but now things have changed with givedirectly as i have a matress and waiting to build a good house"

"I spent my transfer on finishing build my house, buy fertilizer and buy land"

"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."

"The money has really meant alot to me and my family because iam in a process of building a new house."
