"I have had a desire to own a piece of land in the nearby town (Jila center) to construct a business room where my husband can do his shop business, but this dream has never come to reality. When I heard about the arrival of GiveDirectly, my hopes got renewed and I am now happy to know that soon I will have the opportunity to buy the land. My option is to spend my first transfer ($500) to purchase the land. Having acquired the land, my second transfer will aid in the construction of the structure which I am also sure of costing me $500. This will assure us of a stable source of income since we will no longer pay rents and hence a transformed life."
