My life is currently different because of home improvements that I achieved by making a concrete floor. My home is really decent and clean. It is easy to clean because I only mob in the evening and in the morning without having to go through the ordeal of smearing. My life has become a lot better.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well by making sure that we were well aware of their program. I was happy with the way they handled themselves in a very admirable manner. In fact, kids in my village want to grow up to be like the field staff who were very courteous and well mannered.

I spent the money I received on buying cement and other materials to complete a concrete floor for my house. I also used part of it on construction labor for this house. I needed to have a concrete floor to get rid of dust and make it easy to clean especially now that I am growing old. I also bought a cow to have milk for household use and sometimes for sale.

When my spouse first suggested that we should start building a decent house for our family, I was first reluctant. This is because I knew that getting enough money to complete the construction work would not be an easy task. after much persuasion and encouragement that God will open a way for us, I finally agreed to the plan. Being able to continue building this house is so far the biggest difference in my daily life. I now believe that my family will soon be living in this house since the only thing remaining is the ceiling and to paint the walls. I thank God for coming into our rescue by using GiveDirectly to enable us to achieve our plan as a family.

It was around 5 am when I received a message notification on my phone. Upon reading its contents, I could not believe what I was reading and I woke up my spouse and requested him to also read the contents of the message. After reading it, he joyously confirmed my doubts and my heart was immediately filled with happiness. I gave thanks to God for what He had done to us and I decided to go and prepare some tea so that we would celebrate as a family.

GiveDirectly came for enrollment in my village when I had just started building a decent spacious house for my family. I had decided to leave it incomplete due to insufficient funds. When I received my first transfer, I bought some gravel, cement, sand and also paid a mason for the work of finishing building a house for my family. I am now glad since I will use the second transfer to buy the ceiling and to paint the walls. I used the remaining amount to buy some decent clothes for my family.
