"I couldn't afford a peaceful sleep previously knowing that my children risked failing to sit for their final secondary examination because I had not cleared their school fee and being girls worsened the situation because girls are so delicate. I'm happy and I'm at peace GiveDirectly came to my rescue and I managed to clear the school fee which enabled my daughters to sit for their final examinations. Previously, I couldn't receive a call immediately because I was always afraid the calls could be from the people I owed, so I used to hesitate before picking any call. On the contrary, that is not the current situation because I know I owe no one hence I can comfortably pick my calls at any time. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy."
