"I'm very happy to be included in this GD program. This is because I have been having some big plans of my own( e.g starting a new business and expand the existing one) and as a result GD has now made my plans a reality. Long live GD."

received a $496 third payment.
"I used the cash to buy forty new iron sheets that I used on my new roofing. I also bought new doors and windows that I fixed on my new house. Apart from that, I also bought a piece of land where I erected the new building. I am so glad to GD for the cash transfer they sent to me at a time when I needed it the most."

received a $442 second payment.
"My life is so comfortable and I am very grateful that givedirectly enabled me accomplish what I had dreamed of doing before. My grand children will have property to inherit in the future. If givedirectly had not sent me the cash transfer, I would have lost the land I had acquired and poverty would have also hit me so hard."
