"I have sleeping pabwino"

"my house was not cemented and i really wanted to cement the floor of my house but i could not find enough money to buy cement. when i received my transfer i bought cement and my house is well cemented now. thank you Give directly"

"me together with my family we are living a happy healthy life thax to GD"

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, timber, and nails. I purchased all these with the intention of constructing a new house since the previous one was very small and in poor condition. I then bought some4 beddings which include a wooden bed, mattress, and bedsheets. These were to replace the old mats that I have been using as beddings. Also, I bought a goat as the living assets that lean on just in case of any financial crisis. With the remaing amount of money, I am using it in buying sufficient foodstuffs for my family."

"I can still remember vividly just like the other day and 1 PM when I received a message notification. Since I am illiterate I decided to ask one relative to check who has sent the message. On checking, he realized that it was an Mpesa message from GiveDirectly. I was overexcited because I knew all my goals are now achiveble."

"I bought 16 bags of cement because i would like to improve the walls of my house when i was constructing the house i used mad and i fear it will not stand for more years tp come"

"giving help inform of money to people they don't even know is one thing that GD did well"

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, nails, and timber. I decided to build a new house because the previous one was small and with a grass-thatched leaky roof. We used to suffer a lot during the winter seasons because we would always be rained on. Also, I purchased some new school uniforms for my children who are in primary and secondary schools. In addition, I cleared their school fees arrears so that they can study without disturbances. With the remaining amount of money, I am using it in buying enough foodstuffs for my family."

"It was around 12 noon I was from my daily hustle as usual then my phone started vibrating continuously. This was an indication of a new message. I decided to check the content of the text, only to realize it was from GiveDirectly informing me they had sent me my first transfers. I felt so happy because I was so sure that my life would change positively."

"Ian living in a stronger house now"
