How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My husband was renting and reporting weekly to a motor bike owner 6000.00 LD but it used to be difficult.
Because sometimes he didn't get customer and had to appeal to the bike owner to pay the balance when business gets better.
Few months later Give Directly came and we started benefiting from the project.
I am so grateful for what Give Directly did for us.
So with this last transfer, we decided to buy motorbike for my husband to be ridding instead of working for someone.
My husband is now his own boss and we save 5,000.00 every at least every week and i am so happy.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give Directly is doing well for us because things that we couldn't do for ourselves we are doing them now.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
We use the and bought motorbike for business purpose.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Since my mom died 20014, life has been so difficult for me. I have to drop out of school and got involved into an early marriage all because my present husband could afford to feed me. I really want to go back to school however, when I am successful to get this money, I will start up a big business to enable me get more profits inorder to go back to school and take care of my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am a young person and I have a long way to go. I try to worry so much about life but I have come to realized that, the gift of life is more important than money. With the life given to me by God and seeing my son every day, puts a lots of smile on my face.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Money have been a major challenge for me since I started living on my own. My husband is a motorcyclist and he has to go on traffic before we can eat. We barely have good food or clothes to wear. My family and I are really facing though time.
