"In my opinion Give Directly does a good job of helping people by giving them money to start a business or whatever a person needs instead of dictating. I have nothing I can say it doesn't do well"

Kanze
received a $484 second payment.
"My life is currently different because had I not received the transfers, my children would not have been allowed to continue with their studies. They had huge fee balance that would have taken months to pay. To avoid their studies from being discontinued, I paid for them through the transfers. In addition to this, I also managed to renovate my living house because it was not in a stable condition. I was worried that in case of heavy rains, it might be swept away. I thus rebuilt it with blocks of sand and cement. I am glad that It is now permanent. I am also owning goats which are living assets that I can readily rely on in case of a financial need. I am expecting them to reproduce and increase in number. I can sell the offspring to raise money."

"If I did not receive these transfers I would have been in a lot of problems. This is because I am very old and I cannot work but with these transfers I am happy and my children are also happy. They go to school happy because they have had a proper meal in the morning. I am very grateful to GiveDirectly."
