"I was very impressed when I received the transfer. I was on the farm harvesting rice when I received the transfer. We were four persons on the farm, so I didn't shout, because I was afraid that some of them who know about phone might steal my transfer from my phone. I kept my happiness within. I have been wishing to get money to build a house. The house my family lives in is very small, and it can't host us any longer. I bought some building materials to begin my house project. My entire family celebrates GiveDirectly for this transfer. The way I feel about this transfer can't just be express in words. I was excited about the transfer. The happiness is still in me up to presence. Three of my children have been living with relatives going to school, because I couldn't afford. Finance was a serious challenge for me. With this transfer, I have been able to sent some money for their registration and Tuition."

I used my little salary I get from my work place now to put enough food on my family table. This is the biggest difference in my daily life now."

"I was very excited when I received the transfer. My brother and I were on the farm when I received a message on my phone. I don't know how to read neither write. I called my brother to read the message. He read the message and told me that GiveDirectly has sent me money. I started to shout and dance. I started praising God because I have suffered a lot in life. I have never received such money in my life. It was my very first time. I can't stop thanking GiveDirectly. I felt that GiveDirectly is my earthly saviour. I lost my husband three years ago. After his death things began difficult for me. I couldn't afford to pay my children school fees and feed them. Because of this transfer, my children are now registered in school, and we have enough food to eat."
