I was filled with so much joy on seeing this since I knew that the problems we had were going to reduce. I finished what I was doing and I went back home. Soon after my husband who had gone to the shops arrived. He had heard people saying that the transfers had been sent and he asked me if this was true. I confirmed to him the good news and he was so happy on hearing this too. We celebrated together and we gave thanks to God and GiveDirectly for the blessing."
