My life is so different in such a way that I no longer struggle in seeking fir sheer life before. I have been owning a small house which was almost falling and the roof was so leaky especially when it rains there no peace at all. I had no choice other than to live in such emvinrinmnet because I could not afford to purchase the required materials for the renovation of the house leave alone constracting a new one. I am indeed a happy parent becasue I finally manage to construct a brand new one that can accommodate all my family members. Also, I have several goats that are now serving as the living assets that I can solely depend on in case of any emergency.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well in various ways and I am so grafeful for that. First, the cash transfer was sent directly to my mobile phone. I did not have to travel to any office to receive the money and this really made my work easier. Also, it reduced the cases of bribery and theft. For these reasons, I do not see any part GiveDirectly failed us,

I spent part of my second transfer on buying a few building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, threads and timber. This was for the construction of a new house becasue the initial one was a traditional grass-thatched house with a leaky roof. Most of my family members used to shelter at their relative's houses which were so frustrating. Also, I bought three goats as my investments that I could lean on in case of financial constraints. With the remaing amount, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family.

I heard my phone ringing, notifying me of an incoming message in the afternoon. I called for my helper who confirmed to me that I had received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. I felt happy to receive the financial help.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now in the process of building a new decent and iron roofed house. My previous house was in a bad state and nearly collapsing. It was grass thatched and leaking during rains. My desire was to build a decent house but I failed due to lack of financial resources. When I received the transfer, I bought some building materials which include iron sheets, building poles and paid for the labour cost to facilitate this. I am happy because soon I will be sheltering in my new house.

I committed a larger portion of my first transfer on building a new decent and iron roofed house. My old house collapsed many years and I could not build a new one due to my lowly financial status. When I received the transfer, I bought building materials which include iron sheets and building poles to facilitate construction of the new house. I was also lacking food in my household thus I did enough shopping on enough foodstuffs that will take us a while. Lastly, I spent the remaining amount on paying school fees for my children.
