"I plan to amputate my leg when I receive my transfer. In 2015 October I was working with a logging company (ICC) and I had an accident and my leg got broken. The accident cause me to become disabled and the company refused to help me to get proper treatment. So when I received my transfer, I will use it to amputate my leg and use a false leg to be able to move around freely."

"Givedirectly transfer money to my mobile account at the time my husband was seriously sick and there was no money to take him to hospital. I took my husband to hospital upon receiving my first cash transfer. Since I started receiving money from Givedirectly my husband health is improving gradually. I will always remember this organization for helping me greatly. I appreciate Givedirectly so much. I am not aware of anything that Givedirectly didn't do well in this village."

""When I received this money from GiveDirectly will used it to build my house and send my children to school. For so many years I have live in this village in my relative house and due to my very little income I am unable to get all of my daily needs. My children are not school and as a mother seeing my children home all days makes me feel heart sick!""
