My wife and I greatest wish is to build a house in yarpa town. By the grace of God, I was able to buy all the house materials. My dream of establishing a business for my wife has come to reality through Givedirectly.

I will like to give praises to God for this great opportunity. My family and I life has changed from worse to better. Through this cash transfer, I have own a business and my children are happy in school. Many thanks to Givedirectly for the assistance toward my life.

I used portion of my recent transfer to buy goods for my new shop. I also bought additional materials for my house project. The balance money will be used to pay the contractor that is building my house.

I establish a new business with my first transfer and was able to paid my children school fees.The second transfer was spent on two bundles of Zinc and part of the transfer was added to the existing business.I haven't developed a new goal because I am building two houses with the cash from Givedirectly and at the same time, adding some of the money to my business.

I appreciate Givedirectly for the grant.life had been difficult until Givedirectly came in my community. Givedirectly did well by making me to own a decent sleeping place. I am happy and started with my development.

With the gift from Givedirectly, i have been able to buy my remaining building materials and added more goods to my existing business to sustain my family when Givedirectly shall have left the community. I am now one of the happiest person in my community because the way I use to struggle with my family support, it has reduce by God grace through Givedirectly grant. Thanks Givedirectly for making my family to change .

I have been thinking about building a house and educating my children however, when I got the the second payment, I decided to invest in business. I believe that through the business I will be able to educate myself children up to college and even build a decent house for my family.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly is doing well by not accepting gift from recipients. Also one of the things GiveDirectly does well is the follow-up they do on each transfer sent.

I used portion of my most recent transfer to buy cement for me to plaster my house and portion was used to pay my children's school fees and the balance was used to purchase goods inorder to start my business.

I was infront of my house when I received a message with a huge amount of money. Interestingly it was GiveDirectly cash transfer. Quickly I ran to my wife with smile on my face. I was very happy and after telling the good news to my wife, she was very happy also. She raised a Song saying that our suffering has come to an end with the help of GiveDirectly. My house has been in a deplorable condition. Whenever the rain falls, our roof leaks. This leakages cause my kids to always suffer with illness. We have been suffering. I had no hope of changing my life condition. This was a burden on me. Luckily GiveDirectly enrolled me on the cash transfer program. I now believe that with this transfer I am going to change my life condition.

With the transfer, I have been able to buy food for my children, registered them in school and Improve my house. Now my family eats three times a day because I brought 3 begs of rice and some food stuffs that will carry us for awhile. My wife can not stop praising God for his goodness that we were privilege to be enrolled on the GiveDirectly program. My children now sleeps in a comfortable condition. We are now so happy and the joy within my family is so infectious.

I bought Cement to Improved my house and also paid my children school fees. I usually work on people's farms just to feed my family. I had to do hard labour farm work just to earn a living for my family. To even pay my children school fees was so difficult. What I earned from the work I do did not even match those Jobs I did. Interestingly GiveDirectly came to my village and I was eligible to receive the transfer. With the help of GiveDirectly, my life has changed. Now I can provide food twice a day for my family and do some improvement on my house.
