"My husband went to South Africa 5 years ago. He went to look for piece works so that we can build a house. Up to date, he has not been successful in sourcing finances for house construction. I feel like the money will really help in fulfilling my dreams of building a house. I will use the remaining amount of money to buy some bags of maize."

"This money has come at the right time because I need to build a house. I believe that when I have a nice house in the village people will respect me. I will use some of the money to furnish my house by buying a bed a matress and aome of the utensils that I need."

"I am a very happy person to receive this money. Firstly, I would like to thank GiveDirectly for enrolling me in their program. I will use this money to buy cooking utensils for my house. I will also use thia money to buu cement so that I can finish the floor of my house. A cement floor is what I was lacking and I am happy that GiveDirectly has given me this opportunity to receive funds that I can use to develop my household."

"Receiving the money means that I will be able to improve my house, even build another for my children (gowelo- small shack) because my house is not enough for me to share with kids"

"Receiving this money means a lot to me because I know that some of my problems will be solved using this money. I will use the money to build a good house. I am very happy because come rainy season I will have good house and I will not worry about having a leaking roof."

"If we are successful to receive the cash, we continue our education. Like for me, I am in 11th grade and my spouse is in 9th grade. So we will complete high school and extend further if we have resources to do so. Also if the money GD will give us will be enough, we will also complete our house renovation with some. And use the balance to start our business ( table Market) here in this same town. We want to do business because when doing business, we will be able to save some of the cash for future family use."

"I am filled with joy that I have been enrolled in this program, I stay with my little children in this house but I struggle alot to feed them and buy clothes for them, this money will boost my small business so that I might be able to support my family no matter what"

"My house can be down anytime, and it's a very big problem that has been there in my life for a long time, I thank this organization for coming in on time to save me and my child"

"I used my second cash transfer to build a new house..In this, half of the cash will be used to pay the builders and to buy them enough food so that they can have energy to work. Secondly, I used some of the cash to purchase kitchen utensils such as plates,basins,pails as well as pots..It costed me about k50,000 to purchase all the required necessities for my kitchen..I'm so happy and very excited that I now have a big basin that I can use for fetching water."

"My life is now different than before as i now have enough food for the entire household..I also managed to purchase clothes for me and my children... In addition to that a have a better sleeping place as I have a mattress and new blankets..This means that during winter we won't be suffering anymore as we were in the past."
