When I received my third transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 15 iron sheets for my children. I was afraid that walking far distance to look for a place to sleep at night was very risky for their lives; they could easily succumb to poor behaviors and activities such as early sexual intercourse, theft and drug abuse.

I have managed to construct a better house, one for myself and another one for my children. I have increased my wealth too since I acquired some livestock- 2 goats and this is how my life is different than it would have been if I never received transfers from Give Directly.

In my own opinion, what Give Directly does well is sending us money directly, however, I would urge them to widen their geographical coverage to help more people. I believe that the poorest are still out there and they deserve help.

I spent second transfer on building a decent three roomed house since the house I was staying in was small and leaky.I have also bought school uniform for all my children.

The biggest difference in my life is that I am now staying in a decent three roomed house hence I feel safe and comfortable in it unlike before when I used to stay in a small and leaky house.

I spent my first transfer on buying bedding, a mattress,paid school fees and used the remaining money on food.I spent more than half of my transfer on buying a mattress and bedding because the mattress i had was too thin and used to give me back aches, i also had a light sheet for a bedding and i would suffer from cold related ailments often.

I am planning to spend my upcoming transfer on building a house because what i live in at he moment is just a makeshift structure in form of a house that can be blown away or destroyed by very strong winds at any moment.
