"I used the money to registered myself at the University for further education which is my dream"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that l now have a cow which I never new I could own one day.I am greatful that Givedirectly came with such an idea that has changed my family and we are filled with happiness."

"The biggest hardship I am currently facing is providing for my needs. Since my husband died in 2016, life has not been easy. He was the only breadwinner who could support me from his casual jobs. My age and health do not allow me to work. I rely on my grandchildren for survival who works as casual laborers."

"Receiving this money means financial stability in my family of 8. I work as a charcoal vendor, my dream has been to start a small business ( food kiosk ) but due to financial constraints, this has never come to pass. I am intending to spend 40,000 KES on the business. In a day I can make a profit of 500 KES which is enough to sustain all our basic needs. Approximately, my family spends 300 KES daily. The extra proceeds will go for my children's school fees. In addition, we will be able to invest the remaining amount in livestock which is a source of income too."

"I paid my children school fees, bought some school materials and paid hospital bills."

"I feel happy because of the love that give directly people show me through this transfer. I was really struggling and not getting any money to do things for myself."

"I was home when my grandson who is my trustee came to have me informed that GiveDirectly has sent my transfer. I felt so happy when he told me because I have been striving to build myself a house but I'm old and secondly I can not afford to cost of building a new house."

"I bought zinc and food the balance was used to pay my children tuition."

"One bag of fertilizer, and two half bags of rice, and transported these items to my village."

"I am Jenneh Johnson from Peeyan town, Bomi County Liberia. When I receive my first transfer on my mobile money account I was so excited. I ran around the entire village because, I was very broke and needed to register my four children."
