"When i recieved the money i bought 22 iron sheets and 2 bags of cement for new house which i want to build soon. I also bought maize for food and clothes for the whole family"

"In my life the biggest difference is easy access to food with the funds i received and also exceptance that very soon am going to have a new house"

"I bought building materials i want to finish the krall because hynas have been stealing my goats"

"When i received the money i bought food, clothes for my family and blankets. I also bought fridge which i want to use in a business of selling cold drinks"

"As you can see my house is very old and i had no hope that i would build another one, so when i recieved the money i started preparing for building a good house buy buying timber, bricks, cement and any time soon the new house will start being built. I used part of the money to buy food, 4 chairs and household equipment and pay school fees for my child"

"All adjectives that can simply describe this moment are of excitement and thanksgiving. I was thrilled and I was in disbelief, not very sure if all this money was given to me by GiveDirectly for free as a financial support. There is no better word that can describe this moment, special, awesome, exciting?? All these words, I believe!!!"

"Well, let me begin by thanking GiveDirectly for this cash. It has come at the right time when I had no hope of survival as I did not harvest enough food. I have therefore spent it on food, I have bought 5 bags of maize as well as beddings."

"I have just received this transfer and Iam planning to buy iron sheets, bricks and other construction materials. I have already bought beddings and 5 bags of maize for consumption."

"I was happy when i recieved this money that i could not believe it. I went and bought bread and milk to have tea to celebrate i was very happy."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the poor in the community to build better houses and to buy dairy cows. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."
