"I recall being in church when I received my transfer. My phone started ringing. When I checked the message, I discovered that my transfer had already arrived. Words cannot express how delighted I was to learn that I had received funds from GiveDirectly. I knew that with the help I had received, I would be able to meet my needs."

"My husband had saved $200 from his construction work to pay for the dowry, but it was insufficient. He needed more time to raise the deficit. We knew it was time to finish the cultural obligation of paying a dowry. when GiveDirectly did promise us an unconditional transfer. As a result, we added $300 to our transfer. I then spent $50 on wire mesh to fence the poultry house for security and ease of management. Finally, I purchased eighteen iron sheets to expand my home because we are expecting our first child. All of this would not have been possible if I had not received the financial assistance, for which I will be eternally grateful to GiveDirectly."

"I recall it was at 3 pm when I received a text message showing that I had received money from GiveDirectly. It was raining heavily outside. I was scrolling through my phone when suddenly a text message popped up showing that I had received a sum of $550. I felt so good, and grateful to God for this gift. I called my husband and told him the good news which he received with great pleasure because he knew we would achieve our plans."

"The biggest difference in my life now is seeing my children look neat, clean, and dressed in decent clothing. That melts my heart. They are mostly happy and excited. This makes me feel content, especially for those milestones I've achieved. I've been able to save cash seeing that I no longer buy milk."

"I felt so much happy the moment I received money from GiveDirectly. I was at home that day going about our daily duties when I heard my phone ring. Upon checking, I confirmed that I had indeed been sent money by GiveDirectly. I knew that I was finally going to be able to buy a dairy cow- an investment that I had always wanted to do but which I could not do because of lack of money."

"Givedirectly is empowering community dwellers but they're very selective.They serve few people and left others out."

"I have not withdrawn it yet am waiting for my last transfer."
