My heart swells with determination as I envision the future I strive to build for my beloved children. Despite my current reliance on casual labor, I have a steadfast goal that I refuse to let waver. With every penny earned, my eyes are set on securing a bright educational path for them. I dream of providing them with opportunities that I never had, watching them flourish and grasp knowledge with eager minds. I know the road ahead will be challenging, but I won't falter. As I look into their hopeful eyes, I see the potential that lies within them, waiting to be nurtured. The dream of their uninterrupted education drives me forward, and I'll stop at nothing to ensure they receive the best possible foundation for their future success.

GiveDirectly has been a true lifeline for me and my family. They have shown immense compassion and support, guiding us through tough times in hardship areas. The unconditional transfers they provided allowed me to finally resolve the long-standing issue of school fees for my children. Now, I can rest easy knowing that my kids can attend school without any interruptions due to financial constraints. GiveDirectly's assistance has not only alleviated our financial burdens but also given us the hope and confidence to build a brighter future for ourselves. Their dedication to helping those in need is truly commendable, and I will forever be grateful for the positive impact they have had on our lives.

When I received the cash transfers from GiveDirectly, it felt like a ray of hope had finally reached our humble residence. With a family of seven crammed into our tiny house, I knew I had to do something to improve our living conditions. So, I decided to use $200 to construct an additional room, a place where my children could have some space to call their own, study, and dream. Seeing their smiles as the room took shape was priceless, and it filled my heart with joy. Education is vital to breaking the cycle of poverty, so I allocated $180 to pay for my eldest child's secondary school fees and $20 for my youngest one in primary school. Investing in their future was non-negotiable, and I knew it was a gift that would keep on giving. With the remaining amount, I purchased enough food to sustain my family for the foreseeable future. As we sat together, sharing a meal in our slightly more spacious home, I couldn't help but feel immensely grateful to GiveDirectly for making all of this possible.

I felt so much happy the moment I I didn't know that I received the money at 1 until 5pm because I was far from where my phone was. I had a lit of work to do collecting sand. I did not have enough cash to set up a building . Children in school need food. We were living in a small house and now have extra room and now have privacy. I normally rely on charcoal selling but I now have chicken to rear

The biggest difference in my daily life is that all that I planned are almost complete. I am so happy that the house is complete and I am looking forward to having clean piped water in my compound. It will take me at least $50 to get the water to my compound.

I used 250 to buy cement and other building materials.150 to pay school fees and the remaining amount to buy food for the family. I am a mother of 5 and my husband works as a carpenter
