Learn more about how recipients opt in to share their stories.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
In the next years to come, I want to see myself in my new house with my entire family. So I'm working hard for my dreams to become reality that people will now call me a home owner.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Givedirectly encouraged us not to lie about ourselves to enable us to benefit from the program and, fortunately, we were successful candidates, which I admire so much.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I want to build a decent house for my entire family . The house we are presently living in belongs to my mother. and I'm living in it with my spouse. So we intended to build a new home.We usually go to dig sand and go in search of rock to sell them before we have food to eat. Greatful to Givedirectly that my family can afford proper meal daily.
