"I spent my third transfer on putting up a house. I had wishes of transiting from the poorly constructed house that I had before, but lacked the finances to implement this . I had become a laughing stock in the village as people wondered whether I would one day acquire something worth calling a house. I am happy today that with the help of Give Directly, I have fulfilled my dream that has ashamed all those who mocked me."
