I appreciate Givedirectly for the grant given to me. This is the very first time receiving such assistance in my life. I am very happy and satisfied with all Givedirectly process.Thanks for the improvement you have providing for my family.

My recent transfer was used for additional materials with part of the money and the balance money was used to add up more goods to my existing business for empowerment when Givedirectly shall have left.

My children has not been in school because, my husband and I didn't have money to pay their tuitions. It has always been my dream to build a house for my children. My children and I has been struggling to provide our daily needs. One of my greatest goal was to having a business that will enable me to substain my children and also send them to school. My new goal is to buy one second handed motorbike for son. With the cash we gonna recieve from the bike that he will runing in will be used to send him to college.

Givedirectly is doing good for me and my family. My children are all in school because of GiveDirectly. My business is running smoothly and i'm staying in a very good house that i don't have to wake up at night to cry anymore wish has been my prayers.

I have started selling already. So this third transfer will be uesd to buy additional goods. I bought zinc and other materials already with my last transfer. Givedirectly has make me a happy woman all thanks to God for sending them my way.

My family and I currently live in a small house that contains 2 bedrooms and a single bathroom. When I received my first transfer, I bought 2 bundles of zinc for $16,800LD. This was because I wanted to replace the thatch on my old house with Zinc. However, when I received my second transfer, I bought additional 3 bundles of zinc to build a bigger house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms creating more comfort and space for me and my family. The construction of a new four bedroom apartment in Duoh has become my new goal.

From my own judgement, GiveDirectly treats everyone within the community equally when selecting qualify households. The idea of giving out cash as grant to us and allowing us poor people make our own choice on how to spend it is incredible. I'm so excited and privilege to have benefited from this life changing opportunity. I'm grateful to the entire team at GiveDirectly for their exceptional undertakings in making our lives better.

Initially, I've already paid for two bundles of zinc for $16,800LD because I wanted to change the thatch on my old house to Zinc. Notwithstanding, with the second transfer from GiveDirectly, I've decided to build a bigger and spacious house that would contain 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. In so doing, I bought additional 3 bundles of zinc for $25,200LD. I also used portion of the money to buy mattress for $7,000LD.

I was on my farm harvesting when I received a message alert in my phone. I didn't know it was the cash that had been transferred to me. Then at an later hour, I went to the kitchen and gave the phone to my husband and told him that an alert was in the phone for him to read, since I am unlettered. After reading the alert, he told me that it was the cash transfer from GiveDirectly. Just by hearing it was the cash from GiveDirectly, I jumped out of the kitchen with joy. I mean with singing and dancing and the next day without any delay, my husband told me to go and cash out the money.

The biggest difference since I received this cash Is that, I don't have to worry myself again about where will I get money from to buy zinc, nails, and planks to build my house. With this payment, I was able to buy zinc and nails.

My husband and I have been thinking of building a new house because this old one is not in good condition; so, I bought zinc and nails with the money to build our new house.
