"It was early in the morning after I woke up as I was going through my phone when I saw a message. Upon reading its content, my heart was filled with happiness as the message confirmed that I had received the money that GiveDirectly had promised us. This gave me hope to fulfill my dreams and establish myself. I sat down for almost thirty minutes meditating on the money I had just received, planning and re-planning the ideas on how best I could use the transfers. For the first time in life, I had the hope of achieving my plans. The message also made me know that indeed GiveDirectly was going to honor their promise."

When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my life was shattered because I ended up selling the property I had accumulated to cater for the medication. My children are still young and this really disturbed me because I did not know where to start again especially in proving good education to them. When GD came in, my hope for life was rejuvenated. I used the transfers to invest on dairy farming. This will help me cater for my children education and also continuously pay for my medication."

I also bought enough food for my family and I have started saving the income from my business something I did not do in the past since I used to spend all the money I get on food."
