There is a great difference in my life compared to my past one. Right now I have a stress free life and I am able to plan and organize myself for future life. I have cleared all the fees of the whole year for both children in Universities and in Secondary. My life is now good compared to the past.

Personally, GiveDirectly has made what was not possible in my family, to be possible. My husband is a peasant farmer, but only for domestic use. Some villagers were mocking me that I will only sell my body to pay fees for my children. Surely, the organization has sealed that shame for me. Now I can talk boldly in praise of the organization and nobody can stop from giving this testimony. There are some cases of fraudulent especially amongst the helpers and trustees. I believe that donors denied themselves, their comfort life, and sacrifice in order to assist us. It could not be good to leave the culprits walk free. The organization should incorporate the local administration to make the culprits pay for their mischief.

I spent my second transfer on fees payment. I have two children in University, and one in secondary school, and payment of school has been very difficult due to low income. I am just a small scale business woman, and what I get could not support the family. Sincerely, I did not get opportunity to accomplish my education because of inadequate resources, and could not expect my own children to pass through the same life. I have to toil until my children get proper education themselves.

My child was going to miss her final exams because of her fees arrears but I was able to pay in time and she sat for her final exams in peace which makes me very happy.

I felt very good because I knew my life wil improve.

I spent my transfer on buying steel windows and panes, iron sheets, paid school fees for my child who had been sent home for the same and the rest I used on household itmes such as cushions, water, food.
