"My life is happy now, I have been able to build an ironed roofed house .Before receiving this money I didn't have hope of building a permanent house."

"My life is happy now, I have been able to renovate my house.Prior to the transfer, the rats had camped in my house where they had dag holes, damaged my clothes.I used to share food with the rats. Long live Givedirectly."

"I felt so happy and I lost sleep till morning."

"My life is better now because I have acquired land where I will build my permanent house. The bicycle I bought has made my transpotation easy. Prior to receiving this money my in-laws had given me up to the end of this year to leave their land. Thank GiveDirectly for supporting me."

"My life has changed now in that, I now sleep in an ironed roofed house with a cemented floor.Prior to receiving this money, I used to sleep in a dusty house and cough was my disease everyday because of the dust."

"My life is grate now, I have been able to renovate my house which I didn't have hope to. In addition my brother who had dropped out off school resumed studies because I was able to pay his tuition with the transfer I received. Without Givedirectly, all these could not have happed."

"The moment I received my transfer, I felt like all my problems were solved. I lost sleep that night because of happiness."

"My life is happy now because I have been able to build a house of my dreams. I used to live in a dusty house with flees which made me sickly. I will sleep comfortably when I finish my house."

"I spent my transfer on gifting my mother some amount of money which she requested for. The rest of it I used on starting a small popcorn business for my wife who has not been active economically. I am glad she also boost our daily income through the business now. The remaining amount I used to transport building materials such as iron sheets which I bought with part of my transfers. I do not have a house at home hence I have started purchasing building materials to aid me in putting up my own house. I have saved a small portion for future use."

"I am now financially stable. I do not struggle as I used to before the transfers. I no longer go borrowing and begging for help like before the transfers. This is because, from the transfers, I have managed to pay all my debts and meet all my financial needs in time with my transfers. This has really changed my life and I would also want to change the lives of others by giving up to the community through the library I am building to help the young ones who are back home for the festive holidays keep active. I am glad I can now use my own finances to handle my needs without seeking help. It is a very big step in my life."
