I used to stay in a small five ironsheets house and that life was frustrating since I couldn't give my children the type of shelter they ever needed hence I spent my third transfer on building a decent three roomed house .I also paid schools for my four children who are in primary school .

I spent my second transfer to buy building materials that I am planning to use to build a more spacious house in my own compound when the right time comes. Using the remaining amount,I spent it on buying corn for my family consumption.For a longtime now we have been able to eat more comfortably without having to hustle so much for food.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I will be able to have a more spacious house to comfortably accommodate my growing family. Honestly it could have taken me ages to build this house being that my income is so little.

I spent my first transfer on paying fees for my children, gave my husband part of the money for his upkeep and bought decent clothes for my children. I also paid my hospital bills and used most of the amount on purchasing a bag of maize to sustain the family.

The moment I received the money I was very excited. I was teaching the pupils in class and ignored the message thinking that maybe it was a cornman. I decided to read the message anyway and when I realized that it was from GiveDirectly, I laughed and dance with joy and the pupils did the same because they thoughed the teacher had switched to a dancing class and aftre the lesson I immediately went and paid my children's fee and bought food because I had nothing in store for luch.
