"GiveDirectly's support has amazingly elevated my life to a higher level. This is because I was able to build a kitchen in a short amount of time. Due to financial constraints, none of this would have been possible. I am no longer concerned about the leaking roof. My family and I are grateful for the help that has significantly improved our lives."

I was able to easily construct a tank base slab preparation for mounting the tank which I never thought I would be able to do due to financial constraints. It truly is a dream come true. I am grateful for the assistance that has improved our standard of living."

"I recall being at home relaxing after a lunch meal when I received my transfer. My phone suddenly buzzed with a message. When I checked, I discovered that I had received funds from GiveDirectly. I was overjoyed because I knew I would be able to realize my ambitions. I then informed my husband, who was relieved and grateful. We then started planning."
