It makes me and my family feels very uncomfortable during the rainy season because of the leakages that are all over the roof of the house. Due to the uncomfortable situation we have found myself in along with my family, I have decided to use my transfer to build myself a decent house for the comfort of my family and I. I'd split the first transfer into two portions. The first portion is used for gasoline to saw the planks for the building and other portion is used for zinc and other building materials. I am waiting for my second transfer to pay people and start my house project. I am so grateful to GiveDirectly for coming to help me achieve my dreams." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
