I was once married but my husband left me and thrown me out of the house. I had no where to go but to in with a community member who helped me stayed in his home with my family. When I receive my transfer from Givedirectly, I was left with no option but to erect my own house. I have also planned to invest into business with portion of the transfer to raise more money and send my children to a better school to achieve a quality education for a better future.

In my opinion about what is not done well by GiveDirectly, I have not been able to see anything of such. GiveDirectly have done very much well by reaching out to every deserving households in the town during the enrolment process and determining their eligibility. The help of Givedirectly unconditional cash transfer for poor people have given me a better future to come.

When I receive my recent transfer from Givedirectly, I used portion of it to buy three bundles of zinc for the roofing of my house. I also spend some on the tuitions of children's school fees. The remaining portion of the transfer, I am saving it to buy some goods for my intended business planned for before for a better income just incase if the transfer from Givedirectly stops coming.

My goal has been to build my house. I am living in my brother house with my five children. My husband left me with the children and I am a farmer. I used to produce fufu and take it to the market to sell before providing our daily needs. However, GiveDirectly have change my sorrow to joy. I am building my own house and my children are all in school. I'm also starting a new business from GiveDirectly unconditional cash they gave me.

In my opinion,GiveDirectly have no fault. They have really come to to reduced poverty in my county. GiveDirectly have given me money to transform my life greatly.

I use my most recent transfer to buy two bundles of zinc and zinc nails. I paid my children school fees and started a new business.

I was in my bed room when I received the message on the phone, with excitement I jumped out of the house dancing and singing. I have been desiring to establish my own business to enable me support my children and I. Interestingly, With this transfer I am now going to be self employed and an independent woman and this will also help to improve the livelihood of my family. Many thanks to GiveDirectly for this life changing opportunity for my family and I.

The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly, waking up every morning and taking my goods to the market to sell is the happiest thing that ever happened to me. I was really in need of money to start a business but every effort to raise cash for business was always met with constrained. Henceforth, with this transfer I was able to established my own business. With this new changes in my life, I am very grateful to GiveDirectly for changing our lives.

From the day I received my first transfer, my desired of starting my own business in alive. As a mother with five children, caring for their daily needs and even sending all of them to school was a serious problem for me. However, with this transfer I am now able to start a new business that will be a source of income for my family and I. I am very excited to be one of the beneficiaries of this program.
