"" I am an old woman now, and my husband is old too. We have lived in this make-shift hut gor many years now. The roof of the hut is papoo and thatch and it leaks alot. My husband does not have the strength to fix papoo for us to cover the leakages. Therefore, I bought an additional one bundle of zinc to add it the one I bought when I got the first transfer from GiveDirectly. I want to build a new house. I have hire people to cut sticks for our new house"."

""That is the frustrating part of this whole money issue. Since my son who is serving as my trustee carry my phone in zwedru two weeks ago to cash out my money has not return. All my plan has been broken because my son has refused to return with my money.""

""The house am presently living in is an uncompleted building and because of this, my family and I have decided to complete it. The money I received was spent on so many things such as school fees, food and cement to lay floor in the house.""

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly is doing absolutely well in almost everything and could do more better if they enroll all of the nearby towns or villages to avoid those citizenries of those towns or villages feeling left out or discriminated."

"GiveDirectly is doing well by taking us from poverty. I appreciate them so much and I will let to recommend that GiveDirectly please try to get to the neighbouring towns and villages to help the others as they have done for us."

"I am a business person, so my most recent transfer was spent on buying more goods for my shop, pay my children's tuition and save some of the money."

"Next year when I complete my house I will be very happy because it has been my wish, this will mean a lot to me. I love to have my family around me but whenever they come I am always unable to lodge them because my current house doesn't have the space."

"I was home when I receive the message about the money, I felt so excited. The first thought was to purchase my zinc to build new house because my current house is not decent, it's falling apart."

"GiveDirectly is bringing money for us which is empowering everyone in the town. Because the farming can not sustain the family, all I can wish for is continuity with their program."

"I want to see myself into my own house because it has been my dream. I also want to expand my business that will enable me to regularly maintain my children in school."
