My main goal is to have a livestock-rearing project. I have been struggling financially, a situation that I would no longer want to experience in the future with my family. Therefore, I would want to buy livestock and so far I had bought a cow that I believe would bear offspring in the future and help my family financialy. Considering the state of my current house, I also would want to see myself in a better house, and the transfers had so far played a greater role and I believe in the few weeks to come, I would be in the new place courtesy of GiveDirectly.

GiveDirectly is doing great in terms of providing financial to us. Personally, I have managed to accomplish some of the things that I did not believe that I would, like to building a new house and also educating my children with ease. In addition, everything is done to perfection and there is no area that needs improvement.

The transfers that I received from GiveDirectly had been of great help to my family and I. I had lived in a house that was in a dilapidated state for quite some time because I did not have the financial resources to enable me to renovate or build a new one, but GiveDirectly finally came to my rescue. Of the transfers that I have been receiving, a greater portion of it had been channeled towards my new house construction with the most recent one being of help in terms of buying roofing sheets where I spent $105 and so far I am so grateful. I also had two of my children in secondary school and I was required also to settle their school fees arrears that had pilled up for several months which I paid $200. I also wanted to start a livestock rearing project and therefore bought a cow at $180 believing that it will be of help in the future and lastly bought food for my family with the remaining amount of $45. No words would express how happy and grateful I was to GiveDirectly for bringing me this far.

The hardest thing in life is being a housewife and a mother of five children because you end up becoming a parasite on your partner. Prior to receiving the first transfer from GiveDirectly, life had not been easy for a long. I was washing my family's clothing at around three o'clock when I heard a message on my phone. When I checked, I saw that the initial transfer had been made to my account. Since I realized that relief doors were opened for my family, I ululated with joy.

Though I had no choice, being a dependent was the toughest thing I could do. My husband was greatly depleted because I totally relied on him for everything. His painting employment was unable to support his family's basic requirements and school costs. I am glad the transfer improved our lives by allowing us to pay for both school expenses and home renovations. Our home was filled with laughter as a result of this because the difficult burden had been lifted.

I renovated my house after withdrawing the money out because the walls were weaker and the grass-thatched roof leaked during the wet season. To make the house sturdy, I thus purchased cement, some hard corals for building pillars, and iron sheets for roofing. My total outlay for these supplies and labor was $30. The house now has a great appearance following the remodeling. Since I no longer sleep in an uncomfortable, unsafe environment, I am glad. Then, when my two secondary school-aged children were brought home to pay fees, I made the decision to cover their tuition. Since they each owed a significant amount in fees, I paid $100 for each of them to enable them to enroll in class and receive the required education. I purchased with the remaining $47 some food stuff for my family.
