I have always dreamed of building my own house. In doing so, I started my building project after receiving my previous transfers from GiveDirectly. Furthermore, I will complete my project by purchasing few more bundles of zinc and cartons nail. These materials will be used to roof my house. I do appreciate everyone at GiveDirectly for making my life better.

It surprises me most often to see an Organization like GiveDirectly that gives huge amount of money as goodwill. GiveDirectly has changed my life completely. I will forever remain thankful.

I needed money to complete my house project. Therefore, I bought 3 bundles of zinc ($31,500) to roof my house. Portion of my transfer was also used to buy 1 carton of mixed nails and zinc nails for roofing purposes. Transfers received from GiveDirectly has changed my life for good. I am so grateful.

My goal still remains the same. The only thing on my mind is to have my house built for me to move in before the rainy season can start. This house is a death trap but I do not have any where to go to for now. With the opportunity available for me through GiveDirectly, with no delay my new house is now under construction.

In my opinion GiveDirectly does well in selecting deserving households. By visiting every house to make sure that households are enrolled into the program base on their eligiblity is highly commendable. About what GiveDirectly does not do well, I think GiveDirectly is excellent in its workings. I have not seen anything wrong with their program.

I was able to buy zinc, mattress, and planks with my previous transfer. Portion of my most recent transfer was used to buy cement bags and nails. I usually depend on cassava farming thus making it difficult for me to earn this amount of money GiveDirectly is giving me. It would have taken me decades to have a zinc house built but thank God for GiveDirectly intervention in my life.

I have been living in this house for decades because I did not have the money to build a new house. Now that I have received this amount of money, my goal is to built a decent house for me and my household. As seen, this house is no longe save for me to be living in it along with my children. Thank for GiveDirectly coming to this community with this opportunity.

In this part of the world to see someone or an organization giving money without a condition attached is difficult. In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by allowing me to decide what to do with my money. GiveDirectly does not know what I want to do with money. I think by giving me the money and leaving me with the decision to decide how to use it is in the the right direction. I think GiveDirectly workings is best I have seen since nongovernmental organizations began work in this community.

Like I said from the beginning, my plan is to build a new house. I therefore did spend most of my recent payment on the purchase of zinc. The little amount that left I did use it to buy nails to roof the new house. Every morning when I wake up and see my new structure I feel relieved in my body. I had never thought of owning a zinc house because my source of income could not enable me to have one.

I woke up in the morning, and I saw my first transfer message. I started to sing and praise God. I have never received such amount of money in my life. I have been living in my father house since I was born. I have not been able to build my own house. I have been involved in subsistence farming, thereby making me not to earn more money to build house for myself. With my transfer, I will buy building materials to start construction of my own building. I appreciate GiveDirectly for my transfer. I will soon have my own good living place.

The biggest difference in my life now is, I have inner joy and peace. Seeing myself handling this amount of money which will enable me think of constructing my own house is a great achievement in my life. I have suffered for house. I have been living in my father house for a long period of time. GiveDirectly as made my dream come through.

I am planning to spend my transfer on building a house. I have been living in my father house since I was born. I have been involved in subsistence farming which does not raise fund for me to build house. This transfer will make me to gain independent. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for this financial empowerment.
