I used the money to buy building materials such as sand and cement that I used to construct a new house. In addition to that, I also bought new steel doors and windows that I managed to fix on my house. I eventually plastered the entire house just like I had planned.

I received my second transfer some few days after my main house had collapsed and therefore I would like to have a better one this time round; one which is strong enough to withstand the effect of strong wind. I have bought 12 iron sheets already that I will use.

In my opinion, I like the fact that Give Directly visits individual in their households, however, I would encourage it widen its spatial coverage in terms of the poorest that would be included into the program.

My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfers in that currently my stress level has plummeted, despite having passed through a lot of problems. For instance, my house collapsed, but I am confidence enough that I will be able to construct a stronger one very soon courtesy of Give Directly.

When I received my first transfer, the first thing I did was to buy food. We never had food to eat and at the same time, my household members had started growing weak due to malnutrition, a situation that the money helped me saved!

The moment I received my money from Give Directly, I felt very happy and relieved. We had been suffering from malnutrion due to lack of adequate food that the money would enable us buy.

The biggest difference in our daily life is that we never miss food since we received our first transfer from Give Directly. We take breakfast, lunch and supper.
