Bendera
received a $24 tenth payment.
"In the upcoming year and beyond, my primary objective is to enhance the size of my current residence, which is rather small and lacks sufficient space. By adding an extra room, I will create ample space to accommodate both my belongings and visiting relatives. To achieve this, I intend to save a portion of my monthly income and allocate it towards the construction of the house. This endeavor will not only improve my living conditions but also foster a welcoming environment for my loved ones when they visit."

"Having personally experienced the power of GiveDirectly's unconditional transfers, I can confidently say that it is a remarkable organization that truly excels at uplifting communities. In our village, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative effects of its assistance. Families have been able to build magnificent houses, breaking free from the shackles of poverty. Many entrepreneurs have started thriving businesses and fostering economic growth. Education, once a distant dream for some, has now become a reality as parents can afford to send their children to school. The impact is immense, and it fills me with immense gratitude to know that our lives are being changed for the better. GiveDirectly's unwavering commitment to providing direct assistance to those in need has brought hope and a brighter future to countless lives, and I am deeply thankful to be a recipient of their support."
