Currently, I do not have any new goals because I am planning on completing the construction of the house that I have started and paying school fees for my children in various. These are the two main activities that I am focusing on now.

GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the people in the community to build better houses and to start various businesses among other noble projects. Their living standard has improved compared to when they had not received the transfer. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well

I spent all the second transfer on purchasing cement, sand, and other materials that were needed for the building. I paid the workers who were doing the construction as well. The construction of the new house is still ongoing. This is now my main focus since I wish to move in with my family once it's done. We live in a small house that cannot host all my family comfortably. I had always wished to build a better house but I did not have the money. This is because I do not have a continuous source of income. The money that we would get was only for food and the basic needs of the family. I am so grateful because GiveDirectly has improved our living standard to be much better than before.

I heard a message notification on my phone a few minutes past 10 am but I did not bother checking it as I was busy collecting firewood. I decided to read it after I was done with this work and my heart was filled with joy on reading the message that indicated that GiveDirectly had sent the promised money. This message gave me hope that I would finally be able to build a house and fulfill my twelve years heart's desire.

I had desired to build a more spacious house for the last twelve years but had not been able to achieve this due to a lack of finances. This is because whenever I got the money and decided that I would use it in buying building materials, my children would be sent back home the same day or the next day. This usually made me alter my plans so that they would resume their studies. With the transfer that I received, I was able to build a more spacious house and I am happy since we will be moving into it very soon.

It has always been my prayer to build a house for my family but I had not been able to achieve this since I usually channel all my finances in paying school fees for my five children in different levels of education. Due to this, I had to continue living in a two-room house, and my children had to sleep in the kitchen whose roof was always leaking during the rainy season. On receiving my transfer, I spent all amount to build a more spacious house for my family. I bought all the necessary materials and paid for the workforce. I am glad that my children will have their separate bedrooms and my visitors will always sleep comfortably whenever they visit.
