I spent a portion of my third transfer on constructing a new house to replace the tiny house that I had before. The house which was single roomed could not accommodate the entire family. I had to partition it into two using a curtain in order to demarcate my bedroom and living room. It was such embarrassing but had nothing to do other than to accept whatever life had presented before me. I am a very happy widow as we speak today since I own one of the best houses in the entire village.

I spent most of the second transfer to buy building materials as l am planing to build a spacious house, since l am staying in a very small house and yet l have a big family. The remaining balance l spent to buy dairy-cow for my future use where by l will not be spending money to buy milk from the neighbor, I also spent the remaining balance to buy food for my family.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, l can now afford three well balanced meals in a day as compared to before when l could not even afford a meal.

I spent my first transfer on purchasing school requirements for my children who were in primary school. It was a very big shame on us as the parents to have our children go to school on civilian clothes that torn all over, walk barefooted all the way to school and even carry books in a polythene bag simply because we could not afford raising money to cater for these children's needs. I am so proud of GiveDirectly for the transformation it has brought us that we no longer suffer as we did before.

I felt so happy when I received my transfer since I knew that through the transfer I would be able to overcome all the barriers I had along my way of success.
