My life is currently different because I managed to build a new spacious and iron roofed house which I moved in and currently living with my children. Were it not the money, I would still be in that small grass thatched hut. I addition, I also bought a pair of oxen that is helping me in doing my farming timely. I will no longer be hiring from neighbours like I used to do. I am assured of ploughing my whole acreage early for better harvests.

GiveDirectly has done well in the whole process of enrolling us without any discrimination. I do not see anything that GiveDirectly has not done well. Everything was done to the expectation of every individual.

The house I was living in before I was enrolled was grass thatched and not spacious to accommodate my children. When I received my second transfer, I spent part of it on buying pieces of iron sheets and building poles in order to construct a new spacious house. I also paid for the labour cost incurred in building this house. I spent the remaining amount to buy food and bought clothing for my children.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness and the piece I have knowing that I have the capacity to cultivate a large area of the farm which will enable to get enough harvest to cater for my family for the whole year. This is because I bought oxen and ox-plow which I'll be using to cultivate the farm unlike previously when I could do all the farm work manually on my own.

I was still sleeping when I was awoken by vibration from my phone at around 5 in the morning and I knew it was a message alert. Since I'm not able to read, I woke up my son and gave him the phone to read the message. From the smiles on his face, I could tell that it was good news and true to my thoughts he informed that I had received money from GiveDirectly. It was such an amazing moment. I was so happy and thanked God for the blessing.

For so many years I have been facing challenges in tilling my farm, and I was forced to till only a small portion which resulted to the low farm produce which couldn't lust the family for a longer period of time. This is because I couldn't afford to hire people to work on the farm because I didn't have a reliable source of income. The moment when I received the first transfer I bought two oxen and ox-plow which I'll be using to plow the farm. I'm glad I'll be able to cultivate the two-acre farm I have thus hoping for improved produce which will lust us for the whole year. In addition to that, I also bought building materials which I'm planning to use to construct a new house because the current house is leaking and in most cases when it rains most of the households are destroyed by the rain.
