My life is different than how it would have been becasue I have been able to chive a lot through the transfers. I am now sleeping comfortably in a better house whereby initially, I used to shelter under a pathetic place. I have been seeking shelter from one house to the other for so many years, which was at time embarrassing. I had missed the joy of sleeping under one roof with my whole family for so long and I never imagine this would happen anytime soon. Also, the piece of land that won has been made e proud and at least I can mention I have an asset that my children can depend on even in future. I wouldn't have achieved this if it ere fir my own coach, I will forever be grateful to GiveDirectly

According to me, GiveDirectly has does well by bringing an extreme change into our lives. In my village, everyone lived a poverty life and the financial support means a lot to us. The majority of us now have decent houses whereby previously, we used to shelter under leaky grass-thatched houses. Also, every household now has numerous livestock and we have been able to send our children to school through this support. Therefore I do not see any part GiveDirectly need to change.

I spent part of my second transfer on buying a piece of land becasue the previous one was a family could. this has been my long time dream to own it because I have a small farm and I had to lease from my neighbours so that I can get meaningful harvests. Also, I bought some building materials which include pieces of sheets, timber, building poles and nails. This was for the construction of a brand new house because the previous one was small with a weak roof. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough food for my family and nice clothes

It was early in the morning when I heard my neighbours praising and shouting that GiveDirectly had sent the transfers they had promised. Since I could not comprehend the messages on my phone, I called for my helper who confirmed to me that I had received my first transfer. I joined my neighbours in thanking GiveDirectly, full of joy.

Before GiveDirectly visited me, I was staying in a small ,shanty and poorly constructed house. I had no plans of building a decent house since I have been struggling financially for many years. However, upon receiving the transfer, I decided to buy enough building materials which include iron sheets and building poles in order to construct a decent house. This to me makes it to be the biggest difference because in my daily life. I had tried to build at my own cost but I failed due to lack of financial resources. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for helping me achieve this dream.

I spent a larger portion of my first transfer on buying building materials which include iron sheets,poles and nails to construct a new house. The house that has been my shelter for many years is in a bad state. Its roof is dilapidated and leaking when it rains. I have not been able to renovate it due to some financial problems. The little income from casual jobs is not enough to facilitate this. I thank GiveDirectly for enabling me to construct a decent house for my family. In addition to this, I also bought a heifer which I am currently keeping as an asset for my family. I am expecting it to reproduce and sell the offspring in case of a financial need.
