How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My goal is to fix my father's house where I currently lives with my family, my husband and I have been living in my father's house for over ten years now because of our financial condition and I think by helping him to fix it is an appreciation from us. Having a house of our own is also my dream but because of lack of finance it can't be achieve now but hoping it will be in the future. I also want my five children to keep going to school until they can graduate and have better jobs in the future, that is why I want to establish a business that will keep generating more money for my family expenses.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GiveDirectly does well by helping us unconditionally without any strings being attached to it, they also have a good manner of approach in relating with us recipients, they are kind and patient during interviews, their processes are also straight and fair I haven't seen anything that GiveDirectly is not doing well in this program, everything is okay to me.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have started fixing my father's house already, when I cashout my recent transfer, I will buy more building materials to complete it so that we can have a better place to stay in, I will also save the remaining amount for future purposes.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
If I am successful to receive my transfer, I will use some of the money to do business. I will like to do business because I don't want to just be sitting home and doing nothing and I also want to help my husband to solve some financial problem that may arise in the future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happy when I wake up in the morning and seeing my children healthy and we are able to get food to eat every day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenge I am facing is lack of money. I am facing financial challenge right now because I am not selling or doing anything to help my husband and the family burden is too much on him.
