Before GiveDirectly came, my spouse was responsible for the provisions of most of our household and it could reach a time when she couldn't afford them. This forced us to borrow a lot because we had pressing needs that needed urgent attention. As a result, I lost respect because I was fond of asking. I feel the transfers I receive from GiveDirectly has brought a great difference because I am able to feed my family without asking for money from anyone. In addition, this has created a good relationship between me and my spouse because we no longer quarrel on what to purchase since I can as well make decisions nowadays on how to spend my money.

I am glad because I have been able to supplement the income I get from my rental house with the transfers to budget comfortably for my monthly basic needs.
