We check in with people at each stage of the cash transfer process to see how things are going. Take a look at some of their stories as they appear here in real-time.
Learn more about how recipients opt in to share their stories.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I've decided to use my money on my son and myself school fees.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
The money Givedirectly is giving to us is a great thing. I have not seen an organization do that before; they are doing so well with that aspect. I can't say anything about what they don't do well, because that thing does not exist.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I am still working on my first plan. I don't have a new goal yet, not until I complete the previous one.
