"I had a son who was just joining high school and I never had anything to show of to take him to school, so when I received my third transfer, I felt some relief as I managed to pay for his school fees and bought him some school personal effects too to enable him settle down in class. I am very grateful for GiveDirectly."

"I spent my third transfer on buying livestock that I am currently rearing. I am hopeful that one day when they multiply, they will help me in school fees payment for my children given that they are still in school.I also spent some money on starting poultry keeping. With the profits I am able to take care of my family more comfortably."

"I used my third transfer to complete the construction of a house that I had started building with the second transfer. Currently, I have acquired a bigger house that I had been longing for-it can accommodate all my household members very well and I am glad about it."

"The difference I have in my life is that I now have a home of my own and my family is healthy. Back then I was socially alienated, I did not have a decent home and I could not socialise with local community freely because of my status. Iam thankful to givedirectly because it has really changed my life and my family."

"I spent my third transfer on buying building materials that I used to build a kitchen where I can cook from and move out of the open air where I used to cook . I also bought some furniture for my living room after the ones I had had worn out. The remaining amount out of my third transfer I spent on buying some sheep and goats for rearing."

"I spent my third transfer on buying materials that I used to build a new more spacious house that can accommodate me and my family, I had been staying in a single roomed house that was so squeezed for my family. I also paid school fees for my children in secondary and primary school respectively using part of the money."

"I spent my third transfer on plastering my house. I have been staying in an earthen house smeared with cow dung and mud. I also bought building materials that I used to construct a kitchen where I can cook from. It also doubles up as a sleeping room for my children who are now of age and should have their own rooms."

"I spent part of my third transfer on purchasing cement and sand that I used to plaster my earthen house. I have also been cooking from outside given that I had a small house I could not cook from, so some money I spent on building a kitchen. I now eat clean food. The remaining I spent on buying bedding. I used to sleep on mats, on the floor. This was very hectic and in the modern world, finding someone sleeping on the floor is so difficult to find."

"I spent my third transfer on purchasing some livestock for rearing and the remaining on buying stationery for my son in school."

"The biggest difference in my life is that, I have less stressful days since I now own a motor cycle that I use to generate daily household income."
