"I will say Givedirectly transfer has been a great help to me especially for those of us who never had the financial strength to undertake a construction project additionally pay our children's tuition. They have done extremely well and today, I have bought zincs and sent my kids to school through their help."

Weldon
received a $489 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the booming firewood business that has made our lives easier as its profit margin is lucrative at the moment. Buying firewood from the vendors at a wholesale price and reselling in smaller quantities has an attractive profit. Even though I started barely a month ago, it is so far doing well as I am still the only one running the business in the immediate neighborhood. I am thankful to GiveDirectly and I hope that this business will grow to enable us to initiate other projects that we had been hoping for."

Julius
received a $489 initial payment.
"I was working in the neighborhood offloading sand and gravel from the lorry that had just been brought to my neighbor whom I had been working in his farms for a wage. On such occasions, I normally keep my phone away in fear of dropping it or damaging it as the work involves lifting and throwing. At around 11 am when I was done, I reached out to my cellphone only to be greeted by a piece of great news - I had just received the promised amount from GiveDirectly. I was so excited that I had to call my wife to come over as I needed her to accompany me to the shopping center where we withdrew all the amount and came back home full of joy."
