GiveDirectly has brought hope to the most poor family where hope has been lost. I believe that everyone was given equal opportunity to spend the money based on the priorities. I have witnessed the great economic change and I believe that the impact of the program as per the economic improvement is concerned will be a permanent one in our community. The organization should monitor and evaluate how the money has been used and it's economic impact in people life, than giving freedom on people's expenditure. It should conduct some financial literature on proper planning, project selection and sustainability of the projects.

I spent the second transfer on college fees. I have a son who has joined Technical Training Institute, and I managed to pay the whole course fees. Following the economic demand in my household, I could not afford paying fees at Higher learning Institution and therefore opted for Tertiary college that could be affordable and convenient to me. People started to gossip that the child had passed exams and just idling at home. Thank God for GiveDirectly for it's support. I believe that my son would be in position of competing with others in job market.

The biggest difference in my life is that I can comfortably invite friends to my house since I have entertainment and good seats where we can sit unlike before where I used to be ashamed of the condition of my house. I would always avoid any visitation to avoid shame.

I felt very happy because I have been admiring my neighbours' items such television which I did not have and seats since I did not have good ones in my house. Getting this transfer meant I was finally going to have my own.

I spent my transfer on buying television and sub-hoofer which will in entertainment so that my children cannot go to my neighbours house for the same and the rest I used in boosting my fish selling business so that I could increase my income to help meet my financial demands.
