My life has changed to a great extent because for one I now live under an iron-roofed house, so I do not get worried about a leaking roof anymore. Secondly, the kind of repairs and renovations which I did on my house was one of its own kind and were it not for the transfers from the organization, I do not think it would have been possible to attain such progress. BI also bought a cow which has already given birth to a calf in addition to the milk we have been getting from the cow.

The organization helped most of the community members who were impoverished to a great extent. There are a lot of people who built new houses using cash transfers. There are those who also bought livestock that has always been considered to be an asset back her in the village. On the flipside though, I do not think that there is anything negative that I saw from the organizations' operations.

Previously before the transfers were sent, I used to live in a small, old house without windows, I could only afford to place some temporary covers on the window spaces even though they could not shield us from mosquitoes and the chilling cold at night. However, all this changed because I eventually managed to buy new steel windows and a new steel door which I already fixed in my house. I also bought a few pieces of iron sheets which I used to erect a new roof on my house so I no longer get worried whenever it rains like I used to do before when I used to live under a leaking roof. Finally my husband and I bought a cow that recently gave birth to a calf in addition to providing milk, so currently, we do not have to be buying milk from local vendors.

The biggest difference is that I now have new utensils, mattress, and a coffee table things that I only in other people's houses. I can now serve my visitors on presentable utensils and on a good table. This was not the case, I had old utensils and an old timber table that had one short leg and a stone had to be fixed for a balance to be obtained. My new mattress has enabled to have a peaceful and awesome sleep which was not the same with the old one that felt like I was sleep on the floor.

I have never received such an amount of money in my life. This blew me up and I was filled with so much joy and happiness. GiveDirectly is really changing lives of the people in our communtiy.

Upon receiving my first transfer, I bought four steel windows and two steel doors for my house that was under construction. The remaining amount I bought utensils, a mattress and coffee table for these were the things I felt like missed in my house. Even though I was not able to do everything that I wanted to do I can confidently say that GD has bridged a big gap in my needs.
