What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to buy a sack of maize for my family's consumption. I bought sand and cement which I have used to renovate my house from mud to plastered and also paid laborers who renovated my house. The remaining amount I spent to buy solar which has relieved me the burden of buying kerosene on a daily basis and other household good which I did not have.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I am very happy and no longer stressed like before because when I got the money, I was able to solve most of my problems. Thank you GD for the transfer

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchasing window panes and fitted on my windows which had been left unfinished due to shortage of funds. I must attest that the fitting of the window panes has helped me a lot enhance a lot security in my home. Initially I could frequently lose my household items through the open windows.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I had just arrived home from the market to purchase cheap clear bags that I intended to use in covering the bare windows, in the process of assembling all the necessary materials needed to kick off this work, I heard a notification on my phone confirming the receipt of my transfer. I was damn happy and wished I could reach out to GiveDirectly for a one-on-one appreciation.
