"RE " With the cash givedirectly is giving us i am very happy and thankful to them. In my opinion, givedirectly is doing very good for us here"."

"I have not taken my money out yet, but I have planned to buy building materials to renovate my current house from thatch to zinc. Whenever it rains heavily, the storm removes the thatch and plastic from my house leaving it roofless; this makes my house flooded and makes me look simple and common amongst my friends. Once I complete buying the three bundles of zinc and three packs of nails using my third transfer, I will add them to the previous materials I bought from my other transfers and start my project. This will make me happy and give me respect."

"I hope to have my new house as my accomplishment in the coming years. My farm improvement will also be a big accomplishment for me."

"After buying land with my first transfer, I used the second transfer to procure two bundles of colorful zinc to build my new house. I am squatting on someone's land at the moment; I do not have my own house to rest my head peacefully at night."

"I bought additional 3 bondles of zinc to change my thatched house to zinc. Since i graduated from secondary school in 2014 i have not been opportune to go to university. So i came to my home town to do a volunteer teaching in ordeer to help the up coming youth. Knowing very well that i am disable and unable to do farming work. So i have decided to build 3 bed rooms house because i am presently living in a thatched house. So i bought 3 bondles of zinc for 240.00 USD."

"I spent most of my transfer on buying house building materials"

"Givedirectly is the reason why am building a new house for my family."

"Givedirectly is doing well for us in that it has helped us financially and making us self dependence"

"Not having enough capital is my greatest challenge, I started raising livestocks recently but to be able to expand and buy more additional livestocks requires more capital which we can not get because we don't have access to loans. And i try to sell banana juice to be able to gain money to use in our home expenses but we do face some loses because we sell on credit most of the time and they all mainly fall into bad debts. My son Bosco had to stop his studies to help me out because I am a single mother raising all my 4 children, it is not easy having all that responsibility and sometimes i have to seek support from them which makes them leave some important activities or put their dreams on hold to help me out."

"I am living alone with my 2 children, but I have 4 children because of poverty one child lives in another family another one lives with her father in Nyagatare. Feeding my family, I have to work hard in others farm for $0.8 per day. My house is not finished yet, I always feel cold with my children and not sure if the wind will not take out the roof."
