For some times now, I have been living in my uncle's house. Hence, when I received my recent transfer, I decided to build a house. I have also planned to purchase a new mattress. In doing so, I bought building materials such as zinc, nails etc.. for my new house. I am so pleased to be a part of this unique program. GiveDirectly has transformed my life for good.

GiveDirectly unique method of choosing qualified household to benefit from this program is incredible. My life has improved immensely. I am so grateful for this golden opportunity GD has provided me.

I needed to construct a house of my own. Thus, when I received my recent transfer, I bought 2 bundles of zinc ($21,000LD) for the roof of my house. I also used portion of my transfer to purchase 1 carton of zinc and mixed nails to roof my house. My balance transfer was used to buy a very big and comfortable mattress for me and my family to relax at night.

My goal was to build my house and to engage myself into Agriculture.I never had the financial support to enable me do that.But with the help of this transfer funds I will be able to buy my land and start building my house and I am now into Agriculture.

Give-directly do well by giving me transfer fund to enable me buy land

I will spend my recent transfer buying my land to build my house.

My new goal is to acquire a piece of land in Buchanan.

Give Directly does everything good, I don't see anything they don't do well.

I saved a huge portion of my money so that I can add the third transfer on it to enable me buy a piece of land in Buchanan. The remaining portion was spent on provisions and school materials (books, pen, etc ) for my children.

I was so suprise to see such thing happening to me in my life. Nobody had ever done this for me since my birth. Receiving such amount of money from an unknown person was just a miracle that happened to me. It made me very much happy until I was out of words on that beautiful day that I received my money. I felt very much pleased within myself because of such great help that have taken me from nowhere to somewhere better for my future.

There are lot of differences in my life present life than my previous life. I have been planning to construct a new house for me and my family's comfort but I have not been able to do see to it happened because of the kind of poverty that I am living in. Rain has been falling on us while it is rainy season because of the old thatch roof over the house. With the help of GiveDirectly, my life and family's life is going to change by being in a decent house and living under a better roof over our heads.

I have been planning on how to generate money to build a better house than what my family and I are living in now. The house that we are living in can not carry us for the next five(5) to ten(10) years because of it's condition. The thatch are all damaged, leakages are all over. We can not sleep a normal sleep during rainy season due to the condition of the house. My kids are also sleeping in this unbearable condition because of the financial situation that I am going through. Therefore, this reason have caused me nothing else but to planned with my wife , for us to use portion of my first transfer to buy zinc and other building materials to start our new house project while we are awaiting the second transfer.
