"Having my own goats in my homestead has brought up the biggest difference in my daily life. First I settled in buying them because they reproduce twice a year and their offspring mature faster compared to any other domestic animals. I am assured of becoming wealthier in a sort period of time. My plan was to have a dairy cow but because they are very expensive and I had some other needs to meet, I had to buy the goats and I will exchange them for the dairy cow once hey reproduce and mature. This will make me solve any problem that I will come across. I will also no longer strain in buying some foodstuffs for my children because this has been the major problem."

"I can still remember very well like today when my phone vibrated continuously.

I used to sleep with my whole family under the same house you can imagine the situation, there was no privacy, and according to our culture, it was not right to share the same house with your young ones who are no longer kinds. But then I had to option. The leaking roof was also stressful during the winter seasons. Because most of the neighbors were also poor with small houses we had nowhere to seek for shelter when it rains. We could stay awake until the rains stop. I feel there is a big relief now in my life because after constructing the new house spacious house, my children now have their own room where they are sleeping comfortably and to add on this there is privacy. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly Because I can now comfortably invite my relatives or even friends unlike before because of the condition of the house."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so delighted that my husband would start off his own motorcycle business and fully support the family."

"After sending my children to school and clearing the huge fee balances, I feel it has brought the biggest difference in my daily life. This is because two of my sons were already in secondary school but then they were always being sent home every now and then because of the fees arrears. I had to borrow some loans so that I could clear the fees but it reached a point I could no longer borrow the loans because I was not repaying in good time. This is because of the low income that I had was not enough to make me fulfill all the debts. This made them stay home for long but I thank God because the money has enabled me to send them back to school again. One of my children had finished primary school level so I was able to take him to secondary school as well. All I can say is that may our good Lord continue to bless this organisation for the financial support they gave us."
