My plans have been building my own house. I am living in my father in law house with my husband and children. Since my husband and I got married, we haven't been able to build of our own due to poverty. To even afford our daily meal had not been easy on my family. I am a farmer and also produce palm oil. I dropped out of school for some years back due financial constraints. My children and I were suffering. GiveDirectly have change my family life.

To be fair, GiveDirectly have done nothing wrong. Their workers have done extremely well by covering long distances to reach us and put smile on our faces. I appreciate GiveDirectly for rescuing me.

I used my first and second transfers to buy two bundles of zinc. I spend my most recent to buy my remaining building materials and food. I saved portion of my money.

My previous goal is still in progress so I don't have any new goal for now until I can end my building project which is in progress.

I love everything about Give Directly, there's nothing I don't like about them. They have high integrity standard that which I love.

My second transfer was spent on my remaining building materials. Zinc, nail, gas to saw plank, and I also hire people to do my work.

It was a very great suprise to see such thing happening to me since I was born. Especially at my location, situated at the remote area of this country, I do not expect such amount of money from anyone who does not know me, even if they have known me. There have been so many things that I have planned to do but due to poverty, I have been unable to do them. I wanted to send my children to school and build a house but there have been no way to do such because of hardship. I was so very very excited when I saw such message, moreover when I realised that it was GiveDirectly sending me this huge amount of money. I have been wishing to get on this program because I have heard so many good news about this NGO taking people out of the poverty line. I am very glad to receive such amount of money from Givedirectly because there have been no way out for me throughout my life but they have made me to achieve my long terms dreams of building a new house and educating my children to secure a better future.

I am unable right now to express myself because of how filled my heart is with joy by GiveDirectly. There are lot of differences in my life now due to this cash transfer from Givedirectly. I have not been able to see myself happy like the way I am now. Seeing my children amongst their age group in school is a lot of joy for me. I used to cut palm and make palm oil to pay for my children's education but it was not sufficient enough due to this reason, they were unable to end many school years. With this money from Givedirectly, I was able to paid for their full tuitions and also pay for zinc to start my project when my second transfer comes. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for coming to help me and my family.

There is a saying that says, opportunity comes once in one's life, if extremely lucky, twice. I have lived in this town long time now. I have planned to have a new house but I couldn't and I couldn't even send my children to school. I have cut palm to make red palm oil to send my children to school and also build a new house for me and my family so many times. The plans can not be achieved and the children's education also is being bother and they can not end the school year because of insufficient money I made from the palm oil. Therefore, immediately as I received my first transferred from Givedirectly, I pay all my children's school fees and I am waiting for my second transfer to pay people and start my house project.
