"Improving the roof of my house with ironsheet and the walls with cement is what receiving this money means to me, i was able to construct the house but i failed to finish it because things are tough but with the money i fill like a relief and i would like to use it all to make sure y house should stand for more years to come."

"The house has one room for me and my wife which only leaves the living room for the kids. I know that my inability to have additional income and build a better one has led to this. Hence, this is the big problem I see as the kids are growing and soon they will be needing their privacy which cannot work in this house."

"I'm super excited for getting enrolled in the programme it means so much to me and i plan to finish my house with my first transfer."

"The biggest hardship on this household is I'm a single grand mother living with my grandchildren,unfortunately my grandchildren constantly fail sick because of our poor living standard,the sad thing is we are no near any government hospital and for us to access one i need transportation."

"I really do not have a lot of hardships"

"I mostly struggle with buying basic needs for my family. I can not cover everything with the salary I get"

"I spent the second transfers new house materials which are on 35 iron sheets and 6 bags of cement. started building the house with the first transfer and this transfer is just for finishing."

"The biggest hardship I faced is not having a stable marriage life and that has affected my financial status."

"The money will meant having food on the table and a good house. I have been living in unfinished house for so long and it constantly gives me alot of problems during rain season. I am planning to use the money to buy 6 bags of maize and few bags of cement."

"Thanks to Givedirectly for enrolling me in this programme. I have a piece of land I have been wanting to build a new house with iron sheets on. And this is an opportunity for me to do that"
