Kahaso
received an initial payment.
"Sincerely, my life has been full of struggles. Putting food on the table and taking my four children to school has been a thorny journey to walk through. For the last 30 years, my main source of income was charcoal burning which was unreliable. I separated from my husband nine years ago and I had to leave with my children since I felt they would suffer at his hands. Staying at my parent's home has not been an easy thing because I know in my absence, my children will not have a place to live. Currently, I am very happy because I have seen light at the end of the tunnel. Receiving this transfer from GiveDirectly will enable me to fulfill my desire of building my home with my children. Already I have a lead to where to purchase a one-acre piece of land and I feel my life has already changed for the better."

"The biggest difference in my life is that I am optimistic that I would be able to own a nice structure. This will restore the joy in my life since we would no longer have to speed sleepless nights due to the leaking roof. Moreover, I can provide for the basic needs of the family like food without any struggle and our kids no longer go to bed without food."

Terry
received a second payment.
""My brother look at me, at my age I am still living in my father's house. It doesn't make sense. I had always wanted to have a place of my own and move out of my parent's house. Then came GiveDirectly with this unconditional assistance. I immediately bought zinc, have paid people to cut sticks for my house. I myself started cutting my sticks. I paid some community boys to haul the sticks to the to town. My brothers helped me to clear the spot for my house"."
