My life has changed drastically since Givedirectly enrolled me in this programme. I have been able to eat well and i will be owning a house something i never assumed i would have
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?

What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am really grateful for being enrolled in this program. This means a lot to me. I plan to buy Matresses and nice beddings. I will also buy some clothes for my child. The money will also help in supporting my day to day living.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am always happy when I find a piece work. A piece is another opportunity for me to buy food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I am a single mother. It is very hard to provide support for my child as I don't have a reliable source of income.
