My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I now have a dairy cow that I did not have before. I believe that it will be calving very soon and J will no longer continue buying milk. Also, we live in an old small house that cannot accommodate us comfortably. I believe that this will end soon since I am planning to fix windows in mg newly built house so that we can relocate to it.

GiveDirectly did well in all aspects of their operations and I do not see anything that they did not do well.

I spent my second transfer to buy a dairy cow as a way of investing this money. Also, I spent some amount on farming. I hired a tractor for land preparation and planting purposes and also bought enough hybrid seeds. On the remaining amount, I bought some decent clothes and food to last us for some time.

I had desired to build a decent house for my family so long but I had not been able to fulfill this due to lack of money. Currently, being able to build a spacious house makes my daily life different from how it was before. This is because I now live happily since we can now have our privacy at any time. Also, I no longer worry about the leaking roof which I had not been able to renovate it due to lack of money. Had it not have been for GiveDirectly, I would not have been able to achieve all his.

It was early in the morning after waking up when I realized that GiveDirectly had sent us some money. I was immediately filled with happiness upon realizing this since I knew that I would be able to achieve my life goals using this money.

When I received my first transfer, I spent part of it to buy some building materials majorly irons sheets, nails, timber and also paid a mason for the work of building a spacious for my family. I settled on this since we have been living in a one-room house that could not accommodate us comfortably. Also, my visitors always had to seek shelter from my neighbors whenever they visited. I am glad since I can now host them without worrying too much about their accommodation. Also, I bought two goats for rearing and some chicken. I settled on buying goats since they are cheaper and they reproduce within a short time. I will sell them after they have increased in number and use the money to buy a dairy cow. I used the remaining amount to buy two sacks of maize flour and decent clothes and shoes for my family.
