I spent my third transfer on purchasing food for the family consumption and paid workers to prepare my parcel of land. I also completed constructing my latrine and used most of the amount on building a kitchen to avoid cooking in the main house which is inconveniencing especially when I have visitors.

My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that, I have managed to build a latrine, paid fee arrears that was remaining and my child has picked the high school certicate hence can look for a job and I have also built a kitchen.

In my opinion, what GiveDirectly did well was changing the lives of many people in our village by sending the transfers directly without involving the second party like the chiefs.

I spent my transfer on building a new pit latrine using cement and metal to make it stand for longer considering our weak soil structure. I also spent some on farming and the rest went into paying some fee arrears for my son to enable him get his certificates.

I have seen great changes in my life, I am at peace because my son has finally got his college certificates and can now look for work.

When I received my first transfer, I decided to buy some 6 bags of cement as a motivation towards achieving my long term dream of having a cemented house.

I am not having a latrine and therefore I will use a good fraction of this my upcoming second transfer for digging and constructing a latrine, which is currently posing a great challenge on us. Again, the remaining part of it will further the education of my child who is currently in high school.
