"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own household items which I never had after my house got burnt with everything in last year October. I lived a miserable life before GD came since I used to sleep on a mat on the floor, I lacked seats and even utensils but thanks to GD am almost getting my life back as it was before the fire tragedy. This gas greatly boosted my self esteem since I can today invite guests to my house without the worry of where will they sit. For example, I just gave birth and I now receive a number of guests who came to see the new born, am just wondering how I would have handled them without seats in the house. Am so gratetful to GD and may God bless you."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have very good seats which have earned me respect among my peers!!"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a new house which is very strong and looks attractive besides the fact that the roof does not leak any more."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I will soon own a better descent house that is iron-roofed and demolish my curren thatched house which is seriously leaking. Living in a leaking house has been very disastrous since whenever it rained when we are away then out belongings would be rained on and some would get destroyed. Lack of a descent house has even made us to take two of our children to stay with their maternal grandmother because our house is leaking and no enough space. I even noticed that my grown up daughters feel ashamed bringing their friend home due to lack of a descent place. Owning a better house would make me bring back my children who study from their grandmother's home and we will live together happily as a family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to plaster my entire house and this has made me move to a higher level in life. I had wished to plaster my house but I lacked enough resources. Plastering my house has saved me from frequent house repair using local materials which I had to do everyone and had proved expensive in terms of time, energy and money. I can today keep my house very clean since it's much easier to clean."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now very optimistic of having the things I couldn't have on my own without GiveDirectly's intervention."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now live in a better house something I thought that was ever possible to accomplish."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that l have earn a name in our village after build a nice plastered house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that today, I own a cow which is a great investment and as time goes by, its value is appreciating and my plan is to later on change it to money to pay my children school fees. I have triplets and I have to start planning for their future early enough for me not to be overwhelmed."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that today I own a kitchen where my children sleep without any worry and I also cook without any worry of the rains. I managed to expand my house which enables me to accommodate many guests especially church members during fellowship. Before I lived in a very small house and I could get so worried when I was to have many guests because I knew they would not fit in my house. My children would sleep at a neighbour's kitchen and it was very risky moving to that place at night but today, their security is guaranteed because they do not have to go sleep at a neighbour's anymore."
