"I was poor, I had nothing to count on until I received these transfers from GiveDirectly, my second transfer, I spent on buying building materials that I used to build a new house, my old house was so old and could collapse any time when it rained and I always had to flee it to sleep in people's houses for fear of it collapsing on me. I always escaped death in a whisker. The house was empty after its construction so, when I received my third transfer, I bought household items. First, I thought of a bed, I have been sleeping on mats on the floor, GiveDirectly has changed my entire life for the better. I had some money left from my third transfer and thought of buying livestock, so I bought a cow and goats I am rearing as I never had any. The remaining I now spent on food for my consumes and cushions for my seats."
