What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer majorly on paying fees for my son who had just joined secondary school. I am very happy that he is peaceful learning and promising good results.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I knelt down on my knees to thank God for GiveDirectly when I received my money. It was the very week when I had just pleaded with the teachers to pardon my son to attend classes before I get money for his fees. I really thank GD for sending the money at the most hour of need.
