"give directly has do so well. I have managed to build a house, and i made a choice a choice of building a house on my own without being forced"

"i was very happy the moment i received my transfer because i knew i will be building a good house and i will have enough food for my family."

"I was so excited the moment I received the transfers. It was around 2 PM when I saw the message. I thank God and the organization for everything because I can now accomplish my dreams which I never expected would come true."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that k I now own dairy cows and goats. I am so hopeful and happier because the dairy cow will be of great help especially for my children who are still in school. I am optimistic that in some months to come, I will be selling plenty of milk and save money for my children's school fees and other household needs. In addition to that, my children will be getting milk for free and this will be a surplus to their daily meals. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly for financial support."

"The fact that you do not have to know someone to get enrolled into GiveDirectly programs is the most beautiful thing about this organization. Many poor people have successfully been enrolled that may not have had a chance if it was another organization doing the same. I sincerely thank GD for changing our society."

"I have children in various schools and my biggest ambition is to see them prosper in their education to allow them to have a better life in the future. Raising their school fees is challenging for me due to the limited resources in our family. When I received my first transfer I spent a bigger amount on my children's school fees. I feel relieved of the big burden I have had for quite long. I am thankful that my child in university was allowed to seat for his exams thus he will be able to graduate on time meaning my goal of educating him will have been realized. I thank GiveDirectly that would not have been the case with the huge amount of money that I was needed to raise at that time. Educating my children using GiceDirectly cash transfer is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"I had been lucky I had built a semi-permanent house with the help of my children. Living in this house has always been my happiness, however, the continuous degeneration has made it lose its beauty. It has been hard for me to renovate it due to my limited resources and the children I depend on having the burden of their respective families. When I received my first transfer, I used part of it to renovate and paint my house. This is the biggest difference in my life since I live in a comfortable and decent house. I thank GiveDirectly since It wasn't for them I wouldn't be in such a beautiful house and enjoy its comfort."

"The moment I got the cash transfer message, I went crazy. I have a song in my phone title "ndisamafinyike" I played the song to full volume and started dancing."

"I bought 10 bags of cement, bed and matress, 5 bags of maize and other household expenses like pots, clothes"

"The biggest difference in my life is that i have enough food and iam building a strong house that i will not be afraid to live in during rainy season anymore"
