"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I no longer live in my old dilapidated house whose roof was always leaking during the rainy season. This has been possible since I was able to use part of my transfer to build a more spacious iron-roofed house for my family. Also, security in my homestead has been enhanced as I now have electricity at my disposal hence my compound is well illuminated throughout the night."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am residing in a decent and comfortable shelter with my family. Previously I was spending sleepless night due to the leaking roof of my house. In addition, I was worried that the house might fall anytime which was risky to our lives."

"Finishing my house and improving the roof with ironsheet and the walls with cement is what receiving this money means to, i would like the house to stand for more years to come so that my children should not suffer when iam gone and if possible some money remains i would like to buy beddings because where i and my family sleep is not a health place to spend the whole night"

"Receiving this money is a blessing because i have never received this amount of money at once. I will use the money to buy ironsheets to roof my house"

"For a long time i have been living in a very poor house and i could not image when i would get one, but today with transfer from Givedirectly I will have a good house with iron sheets roof. This is a very big difference in my daily life"

"Life would have been very different had I not received the transfers. I would not have managed to find money to buy iron sheets to put a roof on my house which I built in 2018. All these years, farming has been my source of income but at the end of each farming season I do not have any benefit. Most of the traders buy our produces at a maximum of k7000 which is not enough for me to sell part of my little harvest so that I buy iron sheets. Being part of the beneficiaries meant that I will be able to fulfil of sleeping in an iron sheets roofed house. Receiving the transfers has transformed my life as I now have enough food at home for my family of 5 people. All in all, life would have been very different had I not received the transfers. My family would have been very poor and I would have continued sleeping in a glass thatched house. May God bless you."

"Before I received transfers from Give Directly, I was living in a small house with a grass thatched roof. Since receiving the transfer, I am building a much bigger, nicer house. I am less stressed out and overall a much happier person. Give Directly has brought me peace of mind."

"My life different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I was able to start goats rearing activity which is my longterm investment for the family. Back in the days, I was depending on charcoal vending a job that is tiresome and low-paying. Furthermore, I was able to clear the fees arrears for my children and acquire enough food. Lastly, I was able to complete the construction of my house by purchasing the roofing materials and paying labour charges for the putting up of a roof of the house which I had fail to complete due to lack of adequate finances."

"Improving the roof of my house with ironsheet and the walls with cement is what receiving this money means to me, i was able to construct the house but i failed to finish it because things are tough but with the money i fill like a relief and i would like to use it all to make sure y house should stand for more years to come."

"The biggest different in my daily life is that soon i will own a house with iron sheets roof, which i did not expect in my life"
