Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I was very happy when I recieved the transfer. I went to town the very same day to cash out the money and started buying everything that I planned to buy.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life since you started receiving payments from GiveDirectly.
I believe that it was God who made it possible that I should be enrolled in this program. If I was not enrolled I would have accepted that it was not for me to receive. I am grateful to God that I am in this program.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
The transfer has helped me a lot because I have managed to buy fertilizer for this growing season. I also bought iron sheets so that I can build a house. In addition to that, I will use a part of the money to pay for my children's school fees.
