My life is different than it would have been if I never received transfers from GiveDirectly in that I spent my first transfer on buying building materials such as iron sheets, a window, nails and timber to build a descent house. Previously, I was living in an old small leaky house which was unsuitable for habitation. I also spent the second transfer on buying a bicycle which has greatly made my movement very easy. I no longer need to spend money on using a motorcycle whenever I want to move to any place within my location.

I believe that GiveDirectly does well in helping the most poor in the communities where it works by giving them financial support which are meant to transform their lives. It is a very straight forward organization since it ensured that all promises that were given to the people enrolled in its program were fulfilled. There is nothing that I have seen GiveDirectly not doing well so far.

I spent my second transfer on buying a bicycle which I shall be using to aid my movements. This will help me save a lot money I have been using to move from one point to the other within my location. Moreover, I bought building soil for smearing my house which I had built with the first transfer because the soil in our area is weak and every house built with such soil never lasts longer. Lastly, I spent the rest on buying two cows from which I shall be obtaining milk when they give birth. I shall be selling milk obtained from those cows to earn an additional income for my household thus we shall be self-reliant.

The biggest difference in my life is that whenever I go anywhere, I do not have to pay for the fare because I have my own bicycle to take me anywhere I want.

I felt very happy because I had never received such amount of money before.

I spent my transfer on bought a bicycle, a cow and repairing my house by hiring labour to help in smearing my house and food for the workers.
