Chris, before GD came, I planned to build a house but could not be realized due to lock of funding. My entire life is just farming and the products sales could not start a house. I was enrolled as a recipient on the GD program and received my first and second transfers. With the first and second transfers, I can now start to build a house of my own and will be called a house owner.

Firstly, I want to take this time to say a very big thanks to Give Directly for services rendered us during the entire enrollment process were very transparent.

I was able to buy three (3) bundles of zinc and paid people to cut the Sticks for the building. I was also able to buy food for the children. Thanks to the entire Give Directly family for the transfers that will enable me to build my own house.

My new goal since I got the cash transfer, is to build my own house, and start to brush my two lots of land for farming.

Give Directly has bless us with unconditional cash to improve our lives, but they don't receive gifts from us. Thanks again GD.

With the cash transfer, I bought two bundles and half zinc, and food. Thanks to Give Directly for the assistance given us.

I been living in hardship for a very long time The moment I received my money from Give Directly I was so happy. I was happy because I have been living in thatch house for so long and my dream has been to build a better house. During raining season my family suffer from cold due to leakage making us to have uncomfortable sleep. My dream has been to build a better house that will keep my family warm and safe during the wet season. GiveDirectly financial help has enabled me to start my building project. My dream of living in a better shelter will become a reality.

My life has improved greatly since I started receiving transfer fund from GiveDirectly. Before, My living condition was so bad. My house was in a very deplorable condition and I could not afford to build a better house because I could not afford the cost of buying roofing sheets and paying people to do the construction work. During wet season, My family and I go through a very difficult condition due to leakage, Our house gets wet when ever rain starts to fall. Now that I have received payment from Give Directly I will build a better house that will keep my family safe during wet season. From my first payment I was able to purchase a bundle of roofing sheets to start the construction process. Also I used portion of my transfer to paid my children school fees. I am so thankful to Give Directly for helping me with financial assistance. My dream of living in a better shelter will be achieved.

I want to start my building project so I spent my most recent transferred to purchased a bundle of roofing sheet. Also I spent some of my transfer on my children education and paid back my debt.
