I was a squatter i my sister's piece of land and this made me feel so worthless in the community but as at now I own my piece of land and already built my home on it. This is a big step which I could not make on my own without the help of Give Directly.

In my opinion GD has really helped us in developing ourselves and reviving our abandoned dreams. Through Give Directly transfers many lives have been transformed and there is alot of piece in my community because everyone is busy with their own projects.

I spent my second transfer to settle debt of quarter acre piece of land that I ha bought with my first transfer. I had been living as a squatter in my sister's piece of land because i did not have my own. My parents died when I was young and was left with our maternal uncle who could not let me inherit his land since he never had enough land for himself. I used the remaining part of my transfer to buy building materials such as iron sheets, poles, windows and built my own house in that piece of land. I had lost hope in having neither my own piece of land nor my own house but GD gave me a new hope and i know believe I will do more to develop myself in my home.

I have been living in a neighbours compound because I did not have my own land to build a house, this also caused the separation between my wife and I, but with this money, I will soon have my own piece of land where I can construct my own house.

I was so happy that I got out of bed to wake up one of my children to actually confirm that I was reading the message correctly because it was like a dream to me.

I used the whole amount I received to make part of the required payment on a piece of land that I wish to purchase.
