I have been able to send my children back to school, and I am going to build myself a decent house that is far better than what I have been living in here. I am already old now, I might not really need money but my children does but there is no where to get help from.

"GiveDirectly has made me to put my life in order since the day they had town hall meetings with us. They told me not to lavish my money but use it to benefit me. In my opinion GiveDirectly have to try and help us with a center closer to us that will enable us to get our transfer correct and in time because,we use the same money to transport us to and fro. The mobile money agents also take a huge amount from our transfer before giving it to us"."
