"Givedirectly is helping us financially and making us self dependent"

"I hope to complete my house project before next year"

"To fully support the education of my children, I need to have an alternative source of income, other than the business of selling sardines. I believe rearing livestock is a stable form of investment I can explore to have enough wealth in the future. By the end of this year, I hope to have bought at least 10 goats. I pray to never skip any of my cash transfers from now on so that I can achieve this goal.  "

"My current house is in poor shape and may collapse anytime from winds or rains. This is why I plan to demolish and reconstruct it using bricks and iron sheets. Since I intend to design the bricks by myself, I will only need to save money for buying roofing materials like iron sheets and planks. To achieve this, I will continue saving part of my transfer till I have enough money for the materials and kickstart the procedure. I hope it succeeds by next year. "

"When my family moved to this new location in December, I built a temporary mud-house to accommodate them for the time as I lacked enough funds for a more stable house. I look forward to building a new three-room house in the next year, made of brick walls and an iron sheet roof. I trust to have the capacity to save from the upcoming transfers and my daily earnings to start buying the materials. Once I have assembled all building materials, I plan to hire a mason to construct the structure. "

"My third transfer I bought gas and nails to saw my plank.i also spent a huge amount on my little sister for her balance tuition.i also bought food in the house and my big sister is not too well I'm using some for her treatment."

"I'm hoping of accomplish a very decent house for my children. In addition my children are been out of school.my daily meal has improved greatly now we are living a better life.I went to extend my thanks and appreciation to gd for their support."

"I'm hoping of achieving a lot from this coming year and even years to come.Because what GD has done for me no any NGO has done it for me before in my entire life. I was thinking of building a new house but there was no hand to do that because of the low income that I'm getting from the farming. But with the transfer that I got from GD I'm so grateful."

"I'm hoping of accomplish a decent house in my village that I will show to my children. Life was so difficult for me and my family and friends in my village.But with GD transfer I'm able to get a house with a zinc now. I'm so thankful to GD for their support for me and my family."

"I was at our neighbor's house, where I had gone for the midweek door-to-door church service. It was around 4:30 p.m. when we were in the middle of prayers. I received a loud message notification on my phone. I did not bother checking since I was busy. When I got home, I was filled with joy after checking the account and discovering the transfers. We went ahead and drew the money to meet our goals because we had already discussed how to spend it with my spouse."
