If I could not receive cash transfer from give directly I could not have managed to put up a nice spacious iron roofed house as I did. I could still be staying in a very small a grass-thatched leaking house and very sure by now it could have fallen down. I am very grateful to Give directly for changing my life.

In my opinion Give directly does not involve third party in their program, they deal with people directly. I also feel it was a very good thing to use M-pesa as away of sending money to us because it is very convenient and safer way send cash. Their stuffs were also transparent in everything they were doing, there were no any signs of corruption. I did not see what Give directly did not do well.

I was staying in a very pathetic house that everybody would sympathise with me, the house was a grass-thatched leaking house whereby when it was raining I would be rained on together with my children that sometimes I would take my children to spend the night at the neighbor's house. I have gone through alot but I was not able to come out of the situation because I did not have any stable source of income. I would admire and long to own a nice house just like other people's houses but my dream could not come true. So when I got the first cash transfer from Give directly I did not withdraw it until I received the second transfer. When I got the second one I combined the two and bought building materials and put up a spacious iron roofed house in my own compound. I spent the balance to buy a dairy cow,I thought of buying cow because it is a long term investment that I could relay on for so long and it is also a source of income to my family. Fortunately it has started producing milk, that I am selling some to the community and some for my family consumption.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the joy I have gained out of building a spacious decent three roomed house which I never knew I would own some day in my whole life and upto know it sound like a dream .

The moment I received my money I felt very very happy since I was certain that part of my problems were going to be solved .

I spent my first transfer on building a decent spacious three roomed house and now I am relieved from the worries I used to face while living in a leaky roofed house . I also bought an ox
