received a $493 second payment.
"In my opinion, Give Directly is doing a great job, especially by giving people cash and let them decide on how to spend it. Most of us who could barely afford a whole day's meal managed to invest in various ways and some of them even have decent houses. On the other hand, there is no area that they are not doing good at."

"My life has really improved since I received the transfer. I am glad I'm now independent and I have a reliable source of income. This is because through the transfers I was able to construct rental houses in a portion of land that I inherited from my parents."

"I bought two cows with part of the recent transfer for rearing . I believe that cows are beneficial especially after they have given birth, I will benefit both from milk and additional cows. Again, in the future incase of emergency I can sell some of them in order to raise money for meeting urgent needs.
I also bought clothing both mine and for my children so as to replace the old worn out clothing they had outgrown."

received a $493 second payment.
"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer in that if it was not for the transfers I would not be having a decent house because I was able to construct a house with the first transfer. The previous house was almost falling down and it was not secure to stay in since it could fall on us at anytime. In addition, if it was not for the money my children would still be owing the school a huge fee balance. They would still be staying at home because they could not allowed in school without clearing the fee balance."

"I bought a cow for rearing with part of the recent transfer. Cows are easy to manage and at the same time after it has given birth I will benefit both from the milk and additional cow (the young one).
In addition, I constructed a house with a bigger portion of the recent transfer. The previous house was almost falling down and I feared that it could harm us."

"I believe Givedirectly does well by enrolling everyone who is eligible into the program, and i think it can improve its process by increasing the number of transfers that we receive may be up to 3 times."

"I believe Givedirectly has been conducting its processes very well especially the amount of money that we receive. It is enough to purchase most things that we lack."
