I am incredibly appreciative of this organization's assistance."

Being enrolled in the program was the best thing to ever happen to me because this was a perfect time when I needed the finances the most I spend $250 to buy a cow that that I presented as dowry with the transfer balance. Although I was not able to clear the dowry, I am looking forward to clear it by the end of next year."

"I would want to first give a special shout out to the GiveDirectly for the amazing contribution that they had towards the transformation of my community. How we no longer have grass thatched houses in the village no more, people have got dairy cows and many more. May you God give you grace to transform the whole world in to a better place to thrive especially to the poor."

"For the longest time, I was sharing my single room house with my wife and two children. It was not a comfortable place one would wish to live in with family because it also served as the main house and the kitchen but I could not afford to build a bigger one with a salary of $40 that I earn as a local teacher. I spend $200 to build rooms for the children, $250 to buy a dairy cow and the balance to buy food for my family. I am happy that I no longer share bedroom with my children and I have my own privacy now. We were also able to afford three meals for a couple of months and I would not have achieved all this by my own. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly for the support."

"I spend part of my first transfer to buy a dairy cow which hopefully, will give birth next year. This will mean that I will be able to sell milk, earn some more income and I will be able to pay school fees for my brother who dropped out of collage this year due to lack of school fees."
