"The biggest difference in my life is that I have managed to take my child to secondary school. His education could have stopped after primary school if I never received the transfers. I am very grateful for the impact GD has brought to my household."

Mornica received a $469 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on enrolling my 3 children in different learning institutions. One had just completed her secondary education and needed to join a college, I therefore paid her enrollment fee and she is currently doing so well in her studies. The second child had completed his primary school and needed to join form one. He too got an opportunity for that and is well settled in school. Finally, I paid fee for a form four daughter who needed ample time to prepare well for her national exams rather than spending most of her time out of school looking for school fees as she did before. Am so proud that all these payments were possible at ago with the transfers from Give Directly."
