"It was around 10 AM when I was just relaxing from taking breakfast when my mobile phone started ringing so loudly. At that particular time, I was so nervous and asked one of my daughters to check whose and where the message was from. On checking, she realized that I had received the KES 55000 from Segovia Technology. I was so happy and at first I could believe my eyes. This seems to be a miracle to us as a family since it was our first time getting such a huge amount of money. We later on sat down as a family ad started to plan on how best we would utilize the money accordingly."

"GiveDirectly is doing great to empower us with the transfer and I feel very happy and important in society."

"The recent money i received from Givedirectly, was used to pay some of my daughter tuitions. I also used part of my transfer to buy one used bike from my friend. The balance money was used to buy cement to plaster my house."

"With the transfer i received from Givedirectly, i was able to buy two bundles of zinc. Portion of my transfer was used to pay for stakes and the balance was used to buy food for my house and transport myself back to Gonpo town. I'm so much excited for the changes that will take place in my life very soon."

"I was able to my paid my wife hospital bulls. And I bought 5 begs of rice that cause $10,350LD for my children to eat, because even to get food to eat a day was something difficult for me, because I never had the support to do it. I also bought 6 begs of cement that caused 11,500 LD to improved my house, because the house I'm living in right now is breaking down. And the rest of the money I'm saving it."

"The biggest difference in my daily life now is that I'm able to buy food for my family, I also able to improved my leaking roof. My children are all healthy and in school. Many thanks to Givedirectly for their support."

"When I received my transfer I was able to paid my children school fees. I also bought additional building materials for my house. The rest of the money I was able to paid the workmanship to start my building project."

"Through the transfer, I was able to buy matress, paid my children school fees and buy a bundle of Zinc to remove the thatch from the old house.I usually depend on farming and a small table market had been the only source of livelihood for my family.Children medical bills and school fees had been a challenge for me since I got married to my husband.Because of this misfortune and the little profit I generated from the business, I had not been able to do any development in my community."
