"I plan to take care of my children with my transfer from Givedirectly. I do gold minding and my business is more about luck. It isn't something I depend on for regular provisions. Getting Givedirectly transfer will help me cater for my family."

"It was around 1p.m and was on my farm herding my livestock when I received a message on my phone. When I checked, it was an MPESA message from Give directly. I was so excited since this meant I was soon going to initiate all the plans that I had written down. I was very thankful to God and Give directly at large."

Peter
received an initial payment.
"After working all day on my farmland, tired and exhausted, I came back to hear the most relieving news that Givedirectly cash had reached.
I was overwhelmed, I began to stomp my feet and shake my body a little, I wish I was energised to dance but my body was weak. But I was really really happy."
