How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
A beautiful home is all i have ever wanted i had bricks and the land but no money to build it. GiveDirectly gave me the empowerment so that i can build a nice big house with iron sheets

Givedirectly has proven to be an organisation that does not tolerate fraud and makes sure the right people are enrolled in the GD programme

What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very excited to be in this program because I will use this money to finish a house that I am building. I have been struggling to find funds for my house project. I am very glad that GiveDirectly is here and I will be able to complete my project.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am mostly happy during eid. I am happy during this time because I believe that it is special for me to fast for 30 days. I believe that fulfilling the commandments of the Quran.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
To be honest I do not meet any major challenges in my life. As you can see I have a shop which helps me a lot to earn money that I use to support my family. To say that I have any challenges would be a lie.
