"i was very happy"

"i have bought food, mattress, iron sheets and other basic needs"

"I HAD NOTHING AT HOME, SO I BOUGHT PAINT, LIME, AND FOOD"

"I am able to complete my house. A project which i started long time ago but it was static due to financia l constraints. This is the biggest difference in my life"

"We were having frequent shortage of food at our household but this money will change our way of living.. we are patiently waiting for the last cash in"

"i have renovated my house right now am staying in a good house and we are having enough food to eat which was a challenge previously"

"iron sheeets,food, matress and a bed"

"my house needs"

"I used the money for maintainance of my roof, i bought new iron sheets"

"The transfer helped me in a lot of ways. I bought a cow with part of the transfer and I am currently building another house for my family. I also bought two goats with the money and a bag of maize for my family. The bag of maize will serve as food for my family and I will no longer have to worry about what they are going to eat for some time. I have always wanted to have my own cow and build another house for my family but due to lack of enough money, I have not been able to. The money that I have been getting, a very big part of it, I have been using it to cater to my children’s’ school fees. This has therefore made it difficult for me to do other things and I have kept postponing doing the said projects. When we received the lump sum amount from GiveDirectly, we saw the opportunity to have what we have always wanted. Thank you GiveDirectly for making for fulfilling our dreams."
