My life is different than it would have been if I would never receive the transfer in that, I could have never bought a motorcycle. This means that I would forever depend on business which had its ups and downs and the main issue was it state since it was almost collapsing. I am glad that Give Directly gave me the means to change my life by enabling me to purchase a motorcycle. I have started using it in ferrying people around and I can say that it is more profitable than the business that I used to do. I am happy that I am able to save even after paying school fees and meeting our daily needs such as buying food

In my opinion, the idea of sending money directly through our personal lines is the best idea ever. To add on that the money is unconditional. This has avoided fraudulent cases by the third parties. People have really managed to meet their goal since they remain with a good amount of money after all deductions have been made.

I spent a larger portion of my transfer on purchasing a second-hand motorcycle. I also spared some which I used on buying spare parts for the motorcycle to replace the worn out parts. I felt this was the best idea since the business I was doing previously was almost collapsing. I believe the motorcycle business could be profitable because people have to move from one place to another on a daily basis. I am glad that I get more money than I used to in my previous business. Today, I am able to save a few coins and still afford to feed my family and pay their school fees comfortably.

I thank GiveDirectly for their financial assistance because through this help my living standard has greatly improved. Previously I was living in a small house that could not accommodate my family. Through the transfer, I managed to add a few rooms. Everyone in my family is now comfortable. The comfort that came with the expansion of this house is my biggest difference.

I saw the notification early in the morning as I was checking the messages in my inbox. It was indicating that my first transfer had finally been sent to my account. I was very happy. I knew my life would change because what I really needed in order to improve my standards of living was available. My long time dream of expanding my house was now achievable through the transfers that had been sent.

I spent part of my first transfer on buying two goats. I decided to invest on the goats because they do well in our village. Their feeds are locally available and the climate condition for this region is also conducive for these animals. I believe that with time, they will reproduce and increase in number and help me meet my financial needs in future. Apart from that, I also spent the transfer to buy building materials. I bought iron sheets, timber and building poles for the expansion of my single room house. The transfers enabled me to build two more rooms. I can now comfortably provide shelter for my family. In addition to these, I also purchased and fixed a metallic door to replace the old wooden door. I thank Give Directly for enabling me attain these goals.
