My olny goal have been to complete my house that I built long time ago. I do a little business but the money generated from the business is not really enough to complete my house. Due to my age, I have not really been able to do any work that is strenuous. Therefore, due to this reason I was so happy when I started receiving the transfer from Givedirectly. Through the transfer from Givedirectly, I have been able to buy 10 bags of cement to plaster my house and lay the floor because I need a better future house to stay in in my old age.

GiveDirectly have done so much well by reaching out to every deserving households in the town and determining their eligibility during the enrolment process. Through the help of Givedirectly unconditional cash transfer, most people who could not afford to build houses or send their children to school are now doing those things. I am very much satisfied and grateful for this great opportunity because I could not afford to. Thanks be to God Almighty for GiveDirectly.

I built a big house long time but I could not afford to complete it because of my financial strength. I am old, due to my old age I can not do any hard work. Therefore, I was so excited when I received my recent transfer from Givedirectly. Through my recent transfer, I was able to spend portion of it on my grand child school fees because I need a better future for him. I also bought 10 bags of cement to add to the first 10 bags I had to plaster my house and complete my house project.

My new goal was to improve my house.My house was in a very bad state.The roof over my house was leaking.when ever rain fall the entire house get wet,and that make us uncomfortable to sleep.I use to go on the beach to buy fish and sell to survive.

Give directly did well by making me to buy materials for the improvement of my house.

I will spend my transfer on plastering and improving my house.

My new goal is to renevate my house. I will like to make my house as comfortable as possible in other for me to have comfort. I want to plaster my house, lay the floor and do some other fixing on it.

Give Directly does everything good, there's nothing in my opinion that they don't do well.

My transfer was spent on cement, planks, to renevate my house and a portion of it was spent on my grand child school fees.

I was busy under my kitchen tank cleaning up that morning when my message came. I am not a educated woman, due to this reason, I decided to call one of the boys in my communty to read the message to me. I have not have anything at all in live. I have been sleeping on the ground on a mat. I was very much happy when the boy told me that it was GiveDirectly cash transfer message.

In my house, I been sleeping on the ground on a mat. Over these years since I was born, I have not been able to get such amount of money from anyone or even through work I do. Because of all these reasons, I been living in a very poor condition in life. Right now in my life, the biggest difference I can tell anyone is that I am very much satisfied and happy. I can not sleep on a mat anymore. I have invested portion of my transfer into business to help me when I am out of cash that GiveDirectly give me in the long run.

With the previous conditions I have lived in, I do not want to experience such horrific life condition again. I am a old lady living alone in my town. I have been founding it very difficult with sleeping on the ground with just mat. I have also been striving to get my daily meals each day. Due to these reasons, I decided to use portion of my transfer to buy mattress to have a warm bed to sleep in. I also use another portion of it to buy fish to sell as a backup just incase when the money given to me by GiveDirectly is finished, I'll have somewhere to get money from. The othe portion, I am saving it to be able to buy my daily needs. Thanks to God Almighty for GiveDirectly cash transfer program for making my life a better one and making me to have a better future in my old age.
