Currently, my life is different in that I now own a kitchen. Therefore I can cook at any time that I intend to unlike before cooking in my main house was hazardous to my family's health which forced me to cook early before the sunsets.

My new goal for the next four months is to aim higher and get to my goal of replacing my grassed thatched roof into an iron sheet one. This means I intend to be discipline with the finances I get from GiveDirectly through buying the required building materials every month

Previously, I have been living in a one-room house which served as a kitchen, living, and bedroom to my family. Today, I have a different story to tell because the biggest difference in my daily life for the last four months is that I have successfully built a kitchen which I have ever dreamt of. This has been enhanced by buying building materials which included iron sheets, nails, timber and paid laborers to build it using the transfers that were sent. Thanks to GiveDirectly because the kitchen serves as a bedroom for my children at night and a cooking place as well.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have fixed an iron sheet roof and replace the grassed that one by buying building materials every month with the sent transfer. This is because at the moment the leaky grass-thatched roof of my house is in a deplorable condition which has made it risky for our habitation.

With the little amount of money I get from the casual jobs I do, it is usually hard for me to buy clothes since what I make is barely enough for food. The biggest difference, therefore, is the fact that I was able to buy some clothes that I have really wanted to buy for a long time. I was also able to buy some construction materials which have given me the hope of having my own house soon.

I am currently living in my grandmother's house because I have not managed to build a house of my own due to low income. This has made it hard for me to buy the necessary materials for house construction. Even though I have been doing the best I can to buy the materials, I have not managed to buy enough and I wish to buy the remaining ones so that I can start and complete the project as soon as possible.

Due to low income from casual jobs that are usually low paying or unreliable, it has usually been so tough for me to buy decent clothing for my family. A few months back, we only had a few clothes that we would wear often and most of them were not in such good conditions, so I decided to invest all of my last three transfers on clothes and shoes. My family now dresses better and we look more decent compared to months back.

It is very embarrassing that at my age, I am still living in my grandmother's house with my wife. The shame has affected how I relate with my fellow villagers as most of them make fun of me. I am doing all that I can to ensure that in the next six months, I will have constructed a house of my own house and live a normal life.

My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because, when l get money l do not spent all of it to buy ironsheet, at times do spend it to buy food stuffs and when l do this, l always eat better food that l have not eaten for so long, something like meat.

I do not have any goal a part from buying more building materials and starting my project of building my house.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, l have manage to buy enough ironsheet that will enable me to build a spacious comfortable house, that will not inquire me to extend it in future.

In the next six months l expect to have completed building my spacious comfortable house and staying in it without any worries.

The fact that I can purchase iron sheets every end month is a plus on my side. This was a hustle before. There are those days that the month could get tough and getting an extra amount for building materials was difficult.

I am planning to open a shop for my wife at home. This will help us generate more income in that, I can go on with my daily casual work as she sells in the shop.

The biggest difference is that I am able to purchase food for my family without failure unlike before it was difficult. At times we could go wihtout food because of lack of finances.

In the next six months, I will have set up a shop for my wife and our family's income will have increased. Secondly, the building project will have kick started God willingly.

The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly is that, I no longer stay hungry or skip meals because I bought food for my family.

I expect my life to change in the next six months in that, I will have started operating a business and from the income, I will be able to buy cattle that I can sell to take care of emergencies or use them to pay dowry. I also expect to have finished building my own house.

My life is currently different from how it would have been if I never received the transfer is that , I managed to buy a solar lantern and I am happy that I no longer buy parrafin everytime.

My new goal is to build my own house since I still stay at my grandmother's house.
