My life is different than it would have been if I never received my transfer in that, I am living a happy life. Through the transfer, I was able to build a decent shelter for my child who no longer had to borrow shelter from my neighbour. In addition, I am not receiving the constant mocking than I use to get due to my condition. Furthermore, my child is learning well without being distracted due to fees. In addition I was able to purchase some livestock which will assist me to educate my child.

In my opinion, GiveDirectly did well in sending us non-refundable cash transfers. Being jobless and still having a child in secondary school, this transfer has transformed our lives for the better. Givedirectly cash transfer is God sent and I pray it would reach other household in other villages.

I spent my transfer to construct a house for my child by obtaining 14iron sheets, timbers and building poles. This is because he is a grown up boy and he use to seek refuge from my neighbours house since we can not sleep in the same house with him. This has negatively affect her performance in school since he lack the ample time to study at night. Also, I pent the remaining amount on my child's educational needs by purchasing uniforms, books and paid School fees. In addition, I purchased enough food for my family,

I was having a good time with my children at lunch time when I heard my phone ringing, a notification of an incoming message. When I checked its contents I realised I had received my first transfer from GiveDirectly. I was greatly overjoyed and thanked them for the financial help.

The transfer has enabled me to build a new house for my children. I was not at peace seeing them seeking shelter from neighbours at night. My living house was not spacious enough to accommodate them. However, when I received the transfer, I purchased some building materials which include iron sheets, building poles and nails to construct a house for them. They are now at peace which gives me joy seeing them in their own house, which makes it to be the biggest difference in my daily life.

I spent part of my first transfer on buying a dairy cow which I am currently keeping in my homestead. My expectation is that through this cow I will be able to raise fees for my children who are still young. I will be selling the offspring to raise money for their fees in the near future. In addition to the cow, I spent the remaining amount on building a house for my children. They were seeking shelter from neighbours since my living house is not spacious enough to accommodate them. I purchased some building materials which include building poles, nails, iron sheets and paid for the labour cost involved.
