"Two of my major goals this year has always been to build a bigger house and also make a larger farm. I didn't have enough money to achieve both targets. However, when I received my transfer from GiveDirectly, I bought 2 bundles of zinc for $21,000LD. I also used portion of my transfer to purchase 1 carton of nail for roofing purposes. My balance transfer was used to pay workers to brush a huge parcel of land for farming purposes."

received a $278 second payment.
"I have been desirous of building my own house but never had any financial assistance to execute my project. Nonetheless, I immediately started my building project right after I received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. Meanwhile, with my next transfer just received, I'll expand my house by creating an extra room for visitors. I am so proud of my recent accomplishments and I'll forever remain grateful to GiveDirectly for this golden opportunity that has transformed my life for good."
