"My life is different than it would have been if I never received transfers from GiveDirectly since I spent part of the transfers to purchase some masonry tools.

When Give Directly sent me the transfer I decided to diversify in farming. I used part of them transfer to lease a piece of land, hire a tractor to till my farm and buy sugarcane seeds. I have since planted the sugarcane seeds and I am hopeful I will harvest in a year's time which will help change my family's lifestyle."
