"I heard my phone ring at around 5:00 pm that. I was with some of. my children and grandchildren and I asked one of them to check what the message was saying and who it was from. They immediately broke into dance upon realizing that it as money from GiveDirectly. I sent for my hper who was not far from where we were at hat time and he went to withdraw the money on that same day."

"The biggest difference is the piece of land that I bought. We had a very small piece of land that would not be possible to even share with other family members. We plan to build a new house in there and be. In a position to engage in other activities of my own."

"Give Directly's transfer is one thing that everyone been hoping and wishing for. Hearing that all our neighboring town have gotten theirs and we were still here yearning for ours. It was one Thursday afternoon, after doing my house chores, I was just relaxing at my house when I heard my phone ring, I decided to check, but my heart was not on GD transfer because we have waited so long and we have all forgotten about it. To my surprise, when I checked, my transfer was being sent and suddenly I started hearing my neighbors rejoicing and talking about it. I was overwhelmed with great joy!!!"

"Give Directly does everything well, they have lifted us from the dust and I'm grateful to God for them."

"I plan to give some financial support to my mother to help her to build our house."

"I have paid my children school fees, I have given my wife money to start a new business and I also bought motor bike to also start a business too inorder to help with our children school fees at all times."

"When I received my second transfer from GiveDirectly my family was lacking food and basic household items, Also,my kids where out of school because I could not afford to paid their tuitions. So, I spent portion of my transfer to purchase 2 bags of 25 kg rice and paid my kids tuitions. Lastly, I want to build a better shelter for my family , Because the house we lived in is In a dilapidated condition. I bought three bundles of roofing sheets to do the roofing work upon completing the elevation."

"My first transfer was spent on two bundles of Zinc to build a new house with part of my transfer and the balance money was put into saving. With the recent transfer, i was able to hire contractors to brush my farm to sustain my family after Givedirectly shall have left my community and also bought additional two bundles of Zinc for my new house and food for the family. Thanks to Givedirectly for the grant."
