"It was around 3 pm while I was repairing my pit latrine when I heard a message tone from my phone which was in my pocket at the moment. I did not hesitate to check. Upon checking, I saw the first transfer that we were promised by the GiveDirectly staff. My heart melted with happiness since I was not sure of getting the money even after the registration. Since I had so many pending issues that required money, I knew that they were going to be settled. This was the source of my happiness."

"Having an organization that gives people cash without any discrimination in this era where we're facing financial challenges is like finding a treasure. To me, GiveDirectly did a commendable job in our village right from when they started the enrollment process. The financial aid enabled us to achieve our goals in life as we were given the freedom to choose how to spend it and if it were up to us to decide, I would love to get the transfer for a third time."

"Investing in rental houses is what has been my main mission. Upon getting the second transfer, I used $200 to construct a mud-walled two-room rental house because the place I stay is strategic. I stay near a secondary school and students need accommodation. Currently, I am happy because the rooms are already occupied by tenants and I am assured of getting rental money at the end month, This is enabling me to sustain my family. Thereafter, I opted to invest by buying a cow that will in the future produce milk both for sale and for family use. For the remaining amount, I opted to keep it for the family's upkeep in terms of buying food and other emergencies."

"By the time I received the second transfer, I had already planned on building a new spacious house because the one I had was very small and on the verge of collapsing. Therefore, I constructed a two-room mud-walled house with an iron sheet roof. I can't tell you how much it cost because my helper was in charge and due to illiteracy I could not keep track records of the expenditure. Currently, I am a happy woman sleeping in a nice secure house. The fear I had due to the state of the initial house is no longer there, courtesy of GiveDirectly. After that, I bought a goat to mark the presence of GiveDirectly at my home. Fortunately, the goat gave birth which is a sign of multiplication and soon I will have several goats. used the remaining amount For the remaining amount I opted to buy some food. Hunger was a challenging factor since we have been without rain for the last three farming seasons."

"All my life I have been doing small business in this village few months ago . I intend to open a provision shop in order to minimize people travelling far community to purchase some food stuff or goods. This provision shop will help me generate more profits that will help me take proper care of my children fees since their father don't earned much."
