When I received my third transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 48 iron sheets. My former house was too tiny to enable us live more comfortably and this could violate even my privacy since I have children who are now too old to share a room with.

My life is different than it would have been if I never received transfers in that I have managed to acquire a better house where we currently live, together with my household members-the rooms are big enough and therefore we are not straining anymore.

In my own opinion, I believe that Give Directly offers a bigger amount of money but since this money takes a lot of steps to receive, I feel this is very daunting to us.

I spent the larger part of my second transfer on buying building materials such as 35 pieces of iron sheets and a steel door since I am planning to build a a spacious three roomed house as the house I am staying in at the moment is small and it can not accommodate my family comfortably . I paid cultivation fees hence this planting season I have not practiced manual method of cultivation that is using hands.I paid school fees for my child who is in high school too.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have enough food to feed on with my family and we no longer miss meals as we used to.I am also happy since my child is now going to school since he has no school fees arrears.

I spent my first transfer to buy mattress as I use to sleep on cardboard. I also spent the remaining cash to buy a sheep so as I can have cattle for financial security.

I'm planning to spent my upcoming transfer to extend and renovate my house so as it can accommodate all my family and also have extra rooms for visitors.
