Having my own house that I constructed from the financial help from GiveDirectluy has made my life to be so different that I never expected. This is because I have always been seeking shelter from my friends and relatives for all these years, especially during the rainy seasons. Thus was so stressful because sometimes it was so embarrassing. I feel so confident now and happy parents as well. We re now living happily as a family without worrying about the rains.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly did everything so perfectly because the mone4y was sent directly to my cell phone. To add to that, I was given an opportunity to choose on what to buy. Also, no one asked to pay anything in from of a bribe for me o be enrolled. This made it be so fair throughout. I do not see any sector GiveDirectly failed us.

I spent part of my second transfer on buying a dairy at 15000, I bought some building materials such as iron sheets ad nails worthy of 12000. This was fir the completion of my house which I constructed using the second transfer. I then bought some three beds for my children and I which cost 9000. The remaining amount of money I bought enough foodstuffs for my family.

With help from GiveDirectly's transfer, I am now in the process of building a new spacious house for my family. My greatest desire has always been to have a decent house. As old as I am, it would have taken years to fulfil this dream. The only source of income that I have is from menial jobs which have never been enough to build a house. I managed to purchase enough building materials which include iron sheets, building poles and paid for the full cost of labour. Having the hope of accessing a better shelter makes it the biggest difference in my daily life.

I had received a message notification early in the morning that particular day but being illiterate, I had to seek assistance from my helper. I sent someone to call her, and when she came, she read the message and informed me that I had finally received my first transfer. I was very happy and began my day celebrating together with my family which was one of the unforgettable days in my entire life.

I spent a larger portion of my transfer on buying building materials to facilitate the construction of my new house. I am a casual laborer and the little wages that I get have never given me the opportunity to build a new home. When I received my transfer, building materials were the first things that I thought of buying. I am now in the process of building the new home which is a great joy to me. Additionally, I also paid a portion of the money to pay for my children's school fees. They are now settled in school which had been my joy. I spent the remaining amount to cater to my household's basic needs such as foodstuffs and other household expenses.
