"Receiving money from Givedirectly will mean a lot in my life, it will improve my personal wellbeing. I'm going to buy mattresses for me and my children, I will use the rest of the money to buy enough food for my family."

"I used my transfer to pay my son tuition, to buy food for my family and to pay my hospital bill"

"I was on my peanut farm when I heard my friends shouting and celebrating in the town. I came running to find out what was going on then one of them asked me have you checked your phone? Give Directly has sent the transfer. At that moment I took my phone to confirm what she was saying. When I checked my message, I saw the transfer and started to dance like the others I was so happy and thankful for that whole day."

"" I am experiencing lot of challenges in life, the lack of money and lack of nutritional food for healthy life, these are just major ones among many"."

"" There are many challenges that we are faced with, but the main one is the lack of money"."

"If I'm successful to receive the cash transfer I plan to sell robber dishes like tub, wash bowl, bucket, cup and eating bowl and build house for my self. It has been my dream to do this business but due to low income I have not been able to do so."

"" If I am successful to getting this cash, I will first seek medical attention, recondition this house and help my grand children acquire quality education"."

"The moment I withdrew my money, I registered my children in school and paid all of their yearly tuitions with about 90% of the money I received. I bought some household items for our upkeep. I have been struggling to pay my children school fees for so many years and I don't want to owe the school for this academy year."

"Some changes have taken place in my life since I received this money. The relationship with my husband is more stronger now than before. Because the both of us are strongly working together to build our new house. At least I'm going to have my own house to live in soon. The house I'm living in currently is very small and can't accommodate my family and I anymore."

"This money has brought great difference in my life. It has reduced my financial stress and have solved lots of problems for me. Now my children school fees have been paid and my wife is doing a little business that we can depend on in the future."
