How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
Initially i had goals that i didn't have before receiving this transfer for example i have been sleeping on a matt with lappers for the past seven years i had no hope that i can buy a blanket or Matress considering my financial status so i got used to such kind of beddings but today I'm telling a different story all because of GiveDirectly programme.
I managed to change my beddings i bought two blankets and a matress i now sleep comfortably and I'm so grateful for getting enrolled in the programme ,
Secondly I'm planning to build a house initially i was living in a very small kitchen like house but now i can see that i will manage to build my own house with the same transfer's.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
To be honest the whole criteria of enrolling people up to receiving the transfer has been honest and open i haven't seen any fraud detections or complaints.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
Thank you GiveDirectly for sending both of my transfer's as promised this second transfer i used a part of it to buy three bags of fertiliser,i did this because i plan to invest in farming, i don't want to ever suffer with hunger ever again,
I must confess that GiveDirectly has really changed my whole life in a blink of an eye may you continue with this phenomenal work your doing to others

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will help me to purchase iron sheets and build a way much decent house as the one I currently live in is old, dilapidated and in bad shape. I will also use the money for purchasing enough fertilizers for my garden for the next growing season
What is the happiest part of your day?
Any part of the day as long as I can afford to have a nice meal with my children
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I have an old house which is in a very bas shape and it badly leaks during heavy rains and that gives me so much uncomfortably
