Due to my passion for this work, I know very soon I will be an expert and by that time I will have my own clients, and of course I will be in a position to generate more money."

Robert
received a $526 second payment.
"I have always planned so many things that I wished to do but for lack of resources, the plans and ideas just remained as just plans. Had I not received the transfer from Givedirectly, I would not build have built and run the retail business that I currently have. This has really improved my financial status and stability despite the fact that it has only been a few months that I have run it. I also would not have bought a dairy cow for rearing because I used to work mostly as a casual and the daily wages is barely enough to even feed my family alone, let alone saving in order to buy a cow. I am so glad and grateful that Giveddirectly thought of this noble cause."
