"Before Give Directly came to our lives, we use to live in a around mad wall house with a roof made of grass. The house had leaking roof and during rainy season we would squeeze ourselves to one side which was better. After we got our first transfers we had no other urge apart from building a better house. We opted to build one bedroom with kitchen to start with which also act as a living room. Now we got a better safer and better home which we build with Give Directly's transfer which am certain were it not for it we wouldn't have built."

Benard
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I currently do not buy milk like I used to before. Also, I earn an income through the sale of milk. The transfer also enabled me to expand my business and I currently have more customers unlike before. This is because they know that they can get everything in my shop thus it will save them time of moving from one shop to another."

Eunice
received a $526 second payment.
"My children would not have been able to sit for their examinations had it not have been for the transfers that I received. This would have left them devastated since they are almost through with their college education. As a parent, I would not be a happier knowing well that my children missed their examinations because I could not get money to use in paying their school fees."

Zeddy
received a $526 second payment.
"My life drastically changed when I received my transfers and is currently different from how it would have been had Inot received the transfers. We now live in a more spacious house that can accommodate us comfortably. Also, my children currently sleep peacefully because of the new beddings that I bought for them. If I had not received the transfers, I would still be living in a small house with leaking roof and my children would still be using old clothes as their beddings."

Joseph
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer in that, I have been able to clear the school fees arrears for my children. Due to this, they have never been sent back home since the beginning of the year as I have had enough time to look for this terms school fees. This has enabled them to concentrate on their studies and I believe that their performance will improve."

Alice
received a $526 second payment.
"My life is different from how it would have been had I not received the transfer. First, I have been able to build a spacious house that can accommodate us comfortably. Besides this, my children sleep in their own house and they have enough time for revision in the evening as they no longer sleep in our neighbors house. Also, I have been able to buy a solar lamp for lighting purposes in my household. This has enabled my children do their homework and revise in the evening unlike before. Also, I no longer spend money on phone charging services."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I never received my transfer because I have been able to build a decent and spacious house for my family. The one we had was small and could not accommodate us comfortably. Due to this, I am now comfortable receiving my visitors since I know that they will have a place to sleep well unlike before."

received a $526 second payment.
"My life is currently different from how it would have been had I never received my transfer since I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. It had always been my prayer to own one but I had not been able to achieve this due to lack of money. I believe that it will be calving soon and I will have enough milk for our consumption and for sake to earn an income."

received a $526 second payment.
"The transfers enabled me to build a house for my children. Due to this, they no longer sleep at their neighbors house. Also, the money enabled me to get the required treatment and I thank God because I am now well and I can eat well unlike before. I had been advised to go for a surgery but I had not gone for it due to lack of money. I would not have been able to achieve all this had it not have been for GiveDirectly."
