"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in such a way that I am now an proud owner of three healthy dairy cows. One of the cows is about to call and this makes me happier and optimistic that I will have many of these in the few days to come. Also, the plenty of milk that I will be getting will majorly for my children's consumption and commercial purposes. This will highly boost my daily income and meeting my family's needs will no longer be difficult. Also, the motorbike that I own has transformed my entire life because I am earning something from it.
