received a $244 third payment.
"l have always dreamt of having a decent house of my own even when I'm no more My children and grandchildren can depend on them for accommodation. Things were rough that we couldn't afford our daily meals. We had to go into the bush to hustle for palmnuts sell them in order to survive. Each time we plant our crops, they don't produce well enough for sustainability. Givedirectly funding was able to help us fulfill our dream of becoming a home owner, which we are grateful to God almighty."

Kache
received a sixth payment.
"Am grateful that the previous cash transfers allowed me to buy livestock like 2 chickens and a goat. Now the plan is to continue growing the herd and let them reproduce. I believe that I could generate enough funds to support the education of my four children through these animals. That is why, my priority is to have bought at least three more goats by the end of the year."

Zawadi
received a $28 sixth payment.
"My focus is on building the new house and supporting the education of my children. I know that my husband struggles alot to put food on the table through charcoal making, and I would love to support him in doing these two things. When my savings hit $100, I plan to start buying building materials like iron sheets and tree poles for the new house. At the same time, I plan to be always paying school fees for my children so that they never miss a day of school due to unpaid tuition. I hope to achieve all these through the cash transfers."

Dzende
received a $28 tenth payment.
"My husband's salary as a house manager is barely enough to provide a month's worth food for our six children and I. Not to be a burden to him, I started rearing livestock as a source of income that will help generate funds for the household needs in future. Right now, I own a herd of 13 goats. By the end of the year, I hope to have grown this herd by five more goats. I pray this happens through the cash transfers since I have no any other income stream."
