With my desired to continue improving the lives of my family with the help of GiveDirectly financial assistance, I used almost all my recent transfer and bought enough goods for my business. For the passed five years, I struggled a lot to with my children, even getting a decent meal for my family was difficult to do, thoughtless of getting school fees for them. Miraculously, GiveDirectly came with this great financial opportunity and today my life and that of my children is changing gradually.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done so much remarkable thing for us the needy that we cannot comprehend. From the selection process to payment time, they have shown a great level of professionalism and transparency in reaching out to us the beneficiaries. They came as a problem solver and had restored our broken hopes and dreams. Many thanks and appreciation to GiveDirectly for this life changing opportunity. Truly speaking, I have not seen anything wrong done by GiveDirectly.

Before receiving payment from GiveDirectly, as a mother with eight children finding our daily meals or school fees was very for me. Interestingly, with my transfers from GiveDirectly, five out of eight of my children were all put in school using my first two transfers. However, with my thrid transfer I immediately, started a little business almost using all. And since than I have been making a tremendous income. Now with my recent, my goal of becoming a financially stable and independent woman is stilled a dream to nurture. Therefore, I used almost all my last transfer and purchased enough goods. Finally, the balance small amount was used to buy food for the household. Thanks to GiveDirectly for financially empowering me, and this brings me great Joy.

I bought zink to build my own house, I was also able to buy rice to start selling it so I can be able to sustain my family and I, this transfer also helped me put all my children in school.

My family and I was really down after a long sickness on my husband, things was really difficult because all the burden was on me. I had to pitch gari and sell before we eat, and my dozens of children were all sitting home without going to school because I never had the means. Thank God for Give Directly who has lifted my shoulders high, I don't have to stand over fire the whole while pitching gari, I now have a stable business doing to sustain my family, my children are all in school now and most importantly I will be a house owner soon! I'm grateful to God for Give Directly.
