I spent my third transfer on starting a business of selling assorted household goods. I have always longed for starting my very own business and move away from the odd jobs I used to do. GiveDirectly has made this a reality as even as we speak, I am in the market going on with the business.

I spent a portion of my second transfer on an additional sofa set to fully furnish my house which was initially a bit empty. I am so happy that I no longer have to rush to the neighbors to borrow their seats whenever I had visitors. Secondly, I purchased a bicycle to help me collect water from the lake. Previously, I fetched water manually from the distant lake which was a bit tiresome. Lastly, I invested in livestock farming which was the best way I could save a portion of the transfer for future use.

In my opinion, Give Directly has worked so well in sending us transfers directly into our cell phones rather than involving third parties.

If I never received this transfer, I would not have managed to acquire the seats that I currently possess. Similarly, livestock farming that I had admired for decades could not have been accomplished if I never received this transfer.

I never had basic needs like clothes and food but when I received my first transfer, things changed! I spent on enough clothes and food stuff-I can't go hungry anymore.

The moment I received my money from Give Directly, I felt very excited- I would dress up more decently and eat well.
