Even though I am a business woman, I had been living in a mud-wall house since I couldn't afford to renovate or build permanent house. My children education and daily household needs had been my priorities among my family needs thus I was just forced to live in my mud-wall house and frequently smear it to reduce the dust and prevent cracks. I was so tired with the habit but had nothing to do. The biggest difference in my daily life is being able to renovate my house. I currently live under a plastered house, well cemented and it looks decent. I feel relaxed and so happy with such a decent house that I couldn't have done if it was not for GiveDirectly.

In my opinion GiveDirectly has done an amazing job. We currently have decent iron roofed houses, different assets and started different businesses. I feel GD has empowered us to support our families. I don't see anything wrong done by GiveDirectly.

I used KES43000 of my second transfer on my house extension. I made this decision since I had started with the first transfer but wasn't able to complete. I am glad I current have spacious decent house. I used the remaining amount on my household daily basic needs.

I now live in a good-looking house that I never thought possible. Things are tough for us and getting cash is not easy, not to mention the huge amounts as GiveDirectly sent us. It was the first time in my life to receive such an amount of cash. Thank you for the funds.

I was happy to receive the transfer. We had confidence that the funds will come. We believed it when Gd officers told us we will be sent the funds and for sure we received it.

I spent the first transfer from GiveDirectly to renovate our house. We bought cement, sand and paid labor for the work. We managed to finish the walls yet to plaster the floor. We had built it earlier as an earthen one but have now renovated it to a better look.
