"My life is different now because i have enough food for my family. The maximum number of meals per day that we used to have was two but in most cases we only had one meal. On rare cases we could spend the whole day without a normal meal. Since i received my transfer my life has changed, i have enough food for my family and we are having three meals per day. Thank you Give Directly."

received a $348 initial payment.
"The program came into the village whilst I had no food in the house. I had nowhere to turn to but only praying to God for assistance. With the money, I was able to buy food and in addition I bought beddings and iron sheets. Without the money gift, me and my family would have died of hunger."
