Victor
enrolled.
"Receiving this money will enable me expand my business. I have been selling petrol to motor bike operators in our local market place and I will be able to improve the business by bringing more litres of fuel because sometimes I always run out of fuel due to short supply because I had limited capital. Increasing the stock will increase my profits so that I be able to buy even a pump in future and my dream of owning a mini petrol station will become a reality. "

Salina
received a $536 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my life is my new house. I build a more spacious iron roofed house with the first transfer I received from Give Directly. Initially, I was staying in a very old house and it was seriously leaking when it rained. During rainy seasons we could be rained on and our bedding getting soaked, it was a very terrible life. I really thank Give Directly for changing my life."
