The only goal I have is to complete my house and move in with my family. Before GiveDirectly came in my town, I had wished to have a house that will have more rooms. However, that wish was far from achieving as farming is the only source of livelihood for my family. I am happy and greatful that GiveDirectly came and gave the money that has helped me to build the house that I have long wished to have.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly as an organization working in my community has not done anything wrong. As for what GiveDirectly does well, I can say that when the organization entered into this community, every house in this town was visited to determine eligible households. In this way, no household that deserves to be enrolled won't be left out except where the household chooses not to be enrolled into the program.

The first transfer I received my wife and I decided to use part of it to pay our children's school fees and the balance that left I did it to buy two bundles of zinc. As the balance transfers were coming in, we decided my wife and I to buy other building materials such as nails, planks, and additional two and a half bundles of zinc. I was able to pay the contractors who I hired to build my house from the last transfer. I also able to buy food for the house.

Upon receiving my next transfer i have decided to complete my house. I just bought my balance zinc to complete my house. I even paid the guys who is going to build my house. Some of transfer was used on my children tuition.I even bought them few school material. I'm even thinking about opening a little business that will help me.

In my own opinion GiveDirectly has done great thing for me and my family. I was not able to build a new house with zinc. Even to provide for my children was a major challenge for me. Upon receiving this transfer I'm planned to finish my house project.

Huge of my transfer was spent on my house project.some was also spent on my children tuition as well. I'm even thinking about starting a new business that will help me and my family. Over the past year thing are not been easy for me and my family.

I live in a very old house. My initial plan was to change the entire roof (replace old thatch with new one) of my house because I didn't have enough money to build a new and bigger house. Therefore, when I received my transfer from GiveDirectly, l bought 3 bundles of zinc with few bags of cement to build a new and bigger house. I feel so much relieved having had the privilege to start my building project through GiveDirectly financial assistance.

From my own judgement, GD has been very objective in every aspect as regards their daily undertakings in making sure that poor people like us benefit from this project that has helped improve our livelihood. Furthermore, GiveDirectly treats everyone equally and they've been doing quite well with the entire program. I am very fortunate and grateful to have benefited from this grant.

I wanted to build a three(3) bedroom apartment for me and my family. So, when I received my transfer, I immediately purchased 3 bundles of zinc for $33,000LD. The remaining portion of my transfer was used to transport my zinc from Buchanan. I am so delighted about this opportunity provided me by GiveDirectly. Thus, with this transfer I'll be able to initiate and complete my new home.

It was about 10:00pm while sitting at my house, I received an alert on my phone that I have received forty thousand three hundred seventy five dollars from GiveDirectly. I yelled with joy when I saw that amount of money coming to poor woman like me. Since I was born, I have not seen this amount of money. It was surprising to me to see what I was told will coming to me coming to me in full. GiveDirectly is truly there for the poor people. I can say that government does not care about us but GiveDirectly coming to my community I am going to now be living under zinc house for the first time.

The biggest difference this money has in my daily life since I receiving it from GiveDirectly I can proudly say that, I have money now through GiveDirectly to build my new house that the roof will be covered with zinc. I was able to buy mattress that I couldn't afford to buy. I have been sleeping on mat that I cover with thick blanket.

With my most recent transfer, I bought zinc and nails to roof the new house I am constructing. The house I am living in is in bad condition. When it rains heavily, the walls at times fall. We have to ask our neighbors the next day to help us rebuilt the falling walls. I thank GiveDirectly for coming into my community to help me get on the program. I am well going to use this money to build my new house.
