"It was early morning when I got a message notification on my phone. Being that I'm not well conversant with the phone, I asked my son who was next to me to read out the message. I was overjoyed when he informed me that I had received money from GiveDirectly."

"It was around 8.30 am as I was preparing breakfast for my family when I received two messages. Upon reading their contents, I was filled with joy as I knew that my life was not going to be the same again. I then prayed to thank God for His blessings upon my family."

"The biggest difference is that moving forward, my family will have a spacious house which is in a good condition. This brings so much joy in my heart. The fact that I will for once be feeling safe while sleeping, it will be a big relief to me. I will not be worrying of rains soaking our beddings during rainy season which has always made me want to cry out my heart to the Lord for He has shown me mercy when I least expected it."

"It was early morning when I was seated in the house wondering on how the day would be when I heard the phone ring. Since I couldn't easily reach the phone, I told my son to get me the phone and to my surprise, it was a confirmation message that I had received money from GiveDirectly. I felt so happy, shared the news with my spouse, and we both celebrated."

"I expect my life to change in the next months in that I will be having a new house and thus will be able to accommodate all my family members.I will also be able to have enough space to host all my visitors whenever they visited my family and that will be my joy. In the next six months I will also be having enough milk for my family and sell surplus milk to earn income and start a new business."

"When I receive this money, i will build a house and the balance, I will buy some cows."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to take care of the needs of my family. "

"The biggest hardship I faced was sickness which took alot of money "

"The biggest hardship I faced was getting tution for my studies since we are many children."

"It was one early morning while I was holding my phone when I received a message notifying me that I had received money from GiveDirectly. It was such a joyous moment since that was the first time in my life when I was receiving such an amount of money."
