My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I have bought a goats. I had always wished to start goat rearing but I didn't had an some money. When I received the second transfer I found it wise to invest on this amazing project. A goat give birth twice year. I found it Worth because I will sell them to pay school fees for my children. I depend on casual jobs in the village and sometimes to get this jobs is so hard. The amount of money that I get through this is so small and cannot meet all the basic household items. I didn't had an extra income to save. I am so happy now because GiveDirectly has change my living standard. It has given me hope and chance to make things better. Causal jobs Achoo fees

In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the poor in the community to build better houses. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well.

I used the money I received from GiveDirectly on purchasing a Sofa set seats. I has always wished to own but I didn't had an extra money. I also purchased a goat. This is the best investment because it multiply faster. The rest of the money I bought food, clothes and paid school fees for my children in primary school.

It was around 10 am when I received a message alert on my phone. I decided to read the message to know who the sender was. To my amazement, I realized that GiveDirectly had finally sent us the promised money. I felt so happy knowing that I would finally achieve my long-time plans.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that my family now lives in a more presentable house. This would not have been possible had it not have been for GD. With my paltry income from subsistence farming and casual jobs, meeting all the family needs has been challenging for me. Both daily household and children's education needs are my priority thus, I spend much of income on leaving me with none to improve our home. I am now glad since I can concentrate on other income-generating activities whenever I get money because I am done with my home improvement. I am happy that we currently stay in a better spacious and decent iron-roofed house courtesy of GiveDirectly.

It had always been my prayer to build a spacious house that can accommodate all my family comfortably. My spouse and I had not been able to achieve or even save some money to use in achieving it due to the lack of an adequate source of income. I lived in one house that acted as our kitchen as well as a living room. I spent the remaining amount on my household daily basic needs and household items.
