"GiveDirectly came in to help me fully settle down with my family. We feel so happy as a family that we have been able to meet our needs that would have had to halt a little longer had we not received them. Life for us has not been the best one since we got married in the year 2020. I have had to struggle to to make ends meet even with only one child to take care of. There was a time we chose to travel away from home to my sisters place thinking that we could be able to get a better life there. Things were no different and we chose to come back home. Right now I am happy that I have been able to settle my family, planted crops in my farm and most importantly bough t a dairy cow that is going to sustain my family. I feel this has been the greatest difference in my life."
