"Since I started recieving payments from GiveDirectly, the biggest difference in my daily life is that I no more worry about where I will get money to pay back the debts I owe other people and build a new house; because, I have been told by GiveDirectly that I am going to receive this amount four different times. Moreover, I am going to have a new house with the roof covered with zinc and the walls and floors covered with cement. Once again I am grateful to GiveDirectly for this opportunity. May the almighty God bless the workings of GiveDirectly."
