"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I live more peacefully. This is after clearing school fees for my children in a secondary school, which was really giving me a lot of stress before then- I never had money to sustain their education and therefore I am sincerely grateful to Give Directly for their intervention."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel slightly rested from School fee burden for now due to the amount paid, as well as the fact that I have managed to begin Projects that we will grow to enable my husband and I support our children’s education in future. Besides, I have a 10 by 10 vegetable and tomato Project started using the first transfer and that is geared towards the same goal. I always desired to have Projects that can generate income but it was not possible since every coin we got went into paying school fee, thank you GD for making it possible."

Thanks to GiveDirectly for really changing my way of life unexplainably."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because, I cleared the whole year school fees for my 2 children in a secondary school and therefore I felt the relief. I can say that before receiving this money, it was hard sustaining their education. And again, I am pleased with the step I have made, moving from a house of old and leaky iron roof to living in a house made of clean and new iron sheets."

"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my children. This is to enable them acquire education."

"I spent my third transfer on registering my son for a welding course. He had just finished his secondary education and had no money to apply for a course. The remaining amount I spent in starting a business of second-hand clothes. That has greatly improved my living standard as I am in a position of generating some income for my daily needs."
