Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
It was the most exciting moment of my life. It was a great feeling to receive this cash because I had alot of doubts that such a huge amount of money can be given to me for free.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life since you started receiving payments from GiveDirectly.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have enough food for my household. Iam happy to report that my family is having 3 meals a day. This is all because of the kind gesture demonstrated to me by GiveDirectly. Soon and very soon I will have a proper shelter as plans are underway to build one. My life will never be the same. I owe all this to GiveDirectly.
