"My life has changed completely because I now have a well roofed house."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying a dairy cow at KES 30000. I have been yearning to own it for years but I could not afford it because it was too costly. Later on, I bought some building materials such as iron sheets, several building poles, nails, and timber. This was for the construction of a new house because the previous one had a leaky roof and it was hectic especially in the enter seasons because I was always rained on. I also tooka portion of the transfer and paid college fees for my spouse. Finally, I bought foodstuff with the remaining amount of money."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am currently sheltering in a decent and iron roofed house. I have lived my entire life in a small grass thatched house. It was a temporary house which I had to replace the poles and the grasses on the roof every time they are worn out. It would leak uncontrollable during the rains, forcing me to seek shelter from neighbours who were living in iron roofed houses. Building this house was my greatest achievement which would have taken me years to gather enough resources to build this house. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for enabling me construct my dream house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is our new house which we recently completed and we now enjoy a more specious room. Not only about the specious room alone now I can harvest rain water which we can use for cooking and laundry. Before we were living in a small grass tauched where we were forced to renew the roofing materials before rainy season began."

"My life has changed completely because I now have a well roofed house."

"When I recieved the money i bought poles to be used when roofing my new house; i bought 4 bags of cement as well as wires. I also went on and bought widow frames as well as door frames for the new house. I saved some money to buy bricks when time to build comes."

"I have used me the money to add on some iron sheets, i bought 10 iron sheets to add to thr ones i already have. I bought bricks and paid the builders so that work on building the house can start. I went on to buy poles for the roofing."

"I used the money to buy a mattress since with my first transfer i did not manage to buy one. I also added some bricks as i did not buy enough brick last time for the house I plan on building. I bought nails and wires for the roofing and paid the builder as well as the carpenter in advance. I was running low on money so I bought 4 bags of maize for food."
