"When I received my third transfer, I fitted a burglar proof door and windows to my house. Our area is prone to theft and therefore I was living there with a lot of fear. Thanks to Give Directly for revamping my security."

Lilian
received a $468 third payment.
"In my opinion, GiveDirectly works well by giving people a very huge a mount of money to help them solve the various financial problems they are facing in life. One thing I would recommend about the program is giving more consideration to the elderly than the youths as was done."

Linda
received a $468 third payment.
"If sending this money would have been delegated to a second party, I am afraid we would have missed it and therefore Give Directly does well by sending us money itself, however, it could consider adding more money since 1000 Us dollar couldn't enable us complete all the projects we had started though we have met a number of them."
