No. My previous goal was renovating and furnishing my house. I couldn't achieve my plans due to lack of money. I was sleeping on the floor because the mattress that I was sleeping on got damaged. I used to put fufu in the water, prepare it and take it to the market and sell before providing for I and my grandchildren. My house was uncompleted. It wasn't plaster and there was no floor. However,after got enrolled on GiveDirectly program and started receiving my transfers,I immediately plaster my entire house and put floor to live a comfortable life. I used my previous transfers to buy 8 bags of cement, titles and put inside bathroom in my house and paid contractors that did the job.

Thank God for GiveDirectly. I used to walk in dust and and sleep on the floor but GiveDirectly gave me money to complete my house. I am so happy now waking on tiles,taking bath in an inside bathroom and my house is completed. I am forever grateful and indebted to the entire team at GiveDirectly.

I used my most recent transfer to purchase mattress,the remaining ceilings for my house,food and start a new business to enable me sustain I and my grandchildren. GiveDirectly have made my life better now.

My previous goal remains which is to continue the renevation of my house. I have managed to plaster it both in and out and also lay the floor, my aim now is to fix the inside bathroom and toilet.

Give Directly is a dream come true, they have taking my life from mat to mattress. I'm indeed grateful to God for them. They have done me well, they are indeed a blessing and a people of integrity.

My transfer will be spent on buying additional materials to complete the renevation of my house. Materials like cement, tiles, comoe and etc. The remaining portion of the money will be spent on my children balance fees and food for my house.

I didn't believe what I saw when the message came in my phone. The moment I read the message on my phone, I was jumping with joy for the whole day at the same time checking my account every minute because I couldn't believe that my dream to complete my house and keep the promise made to my late husband was coming to reality. I became happy also because it was my very first time to received such a huge amount of money. GiveDirectly is nothing more than a dream come through. I am going to be complete my house and be happy again because of GiveDirectly.

The biggest difference in my life since I started receiving payment from GiveDirectly is that I now see my dream of completing my house coming to passed. Since the death of my husband, life had never been the same. Every money we had was spend on the funeral of my husband, since than I have not been able to raise money to complete the house project due to my poor health condition. With this transfer I bought cement, sand and paint to complete my house.

I would not have ever been able to raise such money to finally complete this house. But with the help of GiveDirectly, my dream has come true. Most of my recent transfer was spend on buying of cement, sand and other building materials for the completion of my house. My family and I have been living in this unfinished house for a very long time. I am also happy for this transfer because I am going to use some of it to attend to my health. The remaining money was pay as workmanship to the contractors that are doing the work on my house.
