Betty
received a $470 initial payment.
"I was so happy when I received a message for my first transfer from Give Directly and I told God long live Give Directly. I laughed, rejoiced and celebrated because no one has ever sent money of this kind to me. The reason I was supper excited was getting large sums of money at once because I have done farming for a very long time and I have never ripped this kind of money in my entire peasantry."

Solomon
received a $200 initial payment.
"My wife was expectant when I received the transfer. She was a few weeks away to delivery. I spent half the amount to pay her hospital bills after the successful safe delivery and bought a few needs for the young baby boy. The remaining amount I spend on paying debts that I had accumulated trying to feed my family. I used to take foodstuffs from shops on credit and fail to repay them because I did not have a good source of income. I then saved another amount to use in starting second hands lcothing buiness."

Kadzo
enrolled.
"Inadequate finances is my biggest worry because it has limited my ability to sufficiently provide my family with basic needs such as food and education. My daughter has been forced to work to raise enough money to pay for her college which I can not afford. I also have a son in secondary school who is currently at home for lack of fees. Another one is mentally ill but unfortunately I am not able to provide him with the special care and medication that he needs. "
