"The moment I received my money was one of the best moments of my life. I was so excited. Things have been hard on my family and I. We live in a family house. As the man of the home, I always worried and I have been stressed out. I could barely afford my family needs. I am so excited for this program. With this,I can solve my problems. Our lives will now get better."

"Things have been hard on us. All I ever wished for is to see my children live better lives. I have not been able to give them that life because of poverty. Our house has spoiled. I don't have money to build a new one. My children out of school and there's no money for their tuition. I was overwhelmed when I received my transfer. I am so excited for this amazing opportunity. After receiving all of the transfers our lives will never be the same again. I used some of my money to pay their tuition. I saved a little. Hopefully, when I receive rest of the transfers I will buy materials to build a new house and start a new business."

"The moment I received my transfer I was so happy. I was on my farm when my neighbour came running to tell me to check my account. I checked and saw my transfer.From that moment I knew my life is about to change. We have been suffering. My husband and I are farmers. Things haven't been so well. Our house has been leaking. Due to the lack of money we haven't been able to change the roof. I'm so grateful for this golden opportunity."

I find it hard to even get soap to wash my clothes. My sister who is a widow helps out at times. Things are difficult for her as well. Sometimes I go hungry all day till evening time before I can eat. My sister have to hustle hard everyday to get food then she can share with me. I'm happy that my live will not be the same again."

"I am a single mother. I sell farina at various markets to enable me sustain my family. Things have been difficult for us. The profit I make from the farina sales is not enough to provide food and tuition at the same time.My children dropped out of school.We harldy get to eat. I was so excited when I got enrolled on this program. I was overjoyed when I received my transfer. I used a little amount to pay one of my children tuition and buy the uniforms. I used the rest to buy zinc to build my house. Hopefully, when I receive rest of the transfers I will pay the rest of my children tuition."

Assisting us with this huge amount of money and asking for nothing in return. That is so overwhelming. I used some of my money to buy zinc. I also started a new business to be able to sustain my family. Hopefully when I receive rest of the transfers I will add up my business. I'm so excited for this program. Our lives will never be the same again."

My new goal after recieving this transfer is to build a new house. Thank God for GiveDirectly coming to my community and having me as one of their beneficiaries. I am so happy that I am on this program. This is the first time ever in my life to receive such an amount of money free."
