Saturday received a third payment.
"After receiving my recent transfer, due to my condition as a blind man, I have decided to built a toilet for myself. Presently, we have no where to defecate order than using the nearby bushes. And this had been so much embarrassing and worrisome for me, because I had to always ask anyone around me to take me to the bush whenever I have the urge to ease myself. For this reason, I am planning on using some of the money to buy a bundle of zinc. Moreover, I am also planning to use a portion to buy some bags of cement. The remaining money will be spend on paying the contractors. I am overly excited to be one of the beneficiaries of this unique financial opportunity from GiveDirectly."

We are hence so much grateful to GiveDirectly."

Theresa received a $276 third payment.
"After receiving my recent transfer from GiveDirectly, my new goal is to built a two bedroom house for my aged mother. For the passed years, I have struggled so hard as a widow to take care of my family daily needs. The thought of building a new house for my mother never crossed my mind. The little money raised from the cassava farming was never enough. Due to the health condition of my mother, I can see the sadness in her face, sharing a limited space with all her grand children had not been a comfortable experience for her. Therefore, I used some of the money and bought some building materials such as three bundles of zinc, roofing nail and others materials. Additionally, I used the remaining money and bought a brand new mattress for my mother. With this new goal, I feel very much delighted and proud. Thanks to GiveDirectly for empowering us through their financial support."
