"Where I live is not so decent and also a family own, it has been a burning issue on my hear to have my own place. Secondly, I was almost sleeping on the ground, because the mattress I had was finished, Thank God for Give Directly, I now sleep on a comfortable mattress and I will also be a house owner soon. God bless GD."

"Give Directly is a very trustworthy and transparent NGO, I have ever seen. They empower the citizens to be able to change their own lives. I don't know of anything that they don't do well."

"I bought zink, mattress and also use the remaining money to pay my children fees."

"I want to build a new house, where I stay now, the house is very old and it's almost breaking on me, and the tach is almost gone from over it. I also want to complete my children tuition payment."

"I was bathing my little daughter, when I heard my neighbors screaming and dancing that the GD has done it again!!! Then it down on me to check my phone and I started smiling, my heart was filled with joy."

"I was about to go in the bush to cut my palm as usual, when my brother came running to me that he received an alert from GD, I quickly checked my phone and noticed that my own money has come, then we begin to dance and celebrate in the entire town."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in selecting those needed communities. Moreover, GiveDirectly is sincere in its workings. As a NGO, it does not favor one group of people over the others. To be honest, I have not seen anything yet that GiveDirectly is not doing well."
