"I am very happy today. I have seen the light. Thank you give directly for helping me."

"When I receive the money, I will be able to better care for my family. I have a man who isn't the father of my children so he doesn't really provide for us. He is hardly ever home. That means everything depends on me. My house has been unfinished for a long time because between basic needs and children's care, I'm left with nothing for the house. So this money will enable me to finish my house. I will also buy food and clothes."

"I dont have a husband to help me feed my 2 kids, they always cry daily because we eat once or twice on a day."

"The biggest hardship I face in my family is lack of food. When my husband doesn't find a piece job to earn money from, it means we will not eat in our household. It is hand mouth basis."

"The biggest hardship I face is money. This is when I can not find a job to do. This means I won't earn and inturn I fail to buy charcoal and food to eat."

"Our lives are no longer the same since we got money from Givedirectly, many things have changed for example we have enough food for the whole of this year and we are having three to four meals a day unlike in the past, and my children are going to school with happy faces because they are having breakfast everyday in the morning."

"I was grateful to see that i had received money. This money has helped in so many ways i could not on my own."

"I was very happy to see the money transfers in my phone. I have never been in any program that i was helped greatly. I am very thankful."

"I was trained on how to make various detergents namely: dish washer, detergents for car washing and for cleaning the floor and toilets. However I have been lacking on the capital for buying resources for making these products. After receiving the transfer, i was able to procure materials and resources for making the products. As of now, i have sold some of them to customers, and i will be making more. Now i am able to to do business. I have Also bought various kitchen untesils."

"I could not believe, it was a huge amount of money to be given. I was very grateful at the same time."
