"I recently bought a piece of land in my village. This is an achievement I am proudest of because initially, I had bought a cow which I later sold and bought other cows. In total I struggled until I had seven cows which I sold and bought this land which is my greatest achievement."

Beatrice
received a $486 third payment.
"I spent most of my third transfer on constructing a new house to replace the tiny one that my spouse constructed many years ago before he passed on. Since then, life became so miserable as I could not even afford a single piece of iron sheet to build a house. the moment my daughter, who was away, came back home, she was so shocked as she could not believe the kind of house that I had built. It took her with much surprise to learn of the good work that Give Directly did in my life. Besides that, I purchased a cow and a goat to leave a legacy for the good work done by the organisation."
