"I have managed to buy 25 iron sheets and other roofing materials to build a new house after the rainy season is over"

"Most of the times before and after the rains we always have ro look fo grass to thatch our house some times the grass we found does not even fit the whole roof so after i received my transfers i thoughy of buildning a new house with burnt bricks and ironsheet on the roof and i did thanks to Give directly"

"I have always desired to live in a good roofed house as well as to be able to travel within and outside my area with ease. This is so as in our area there are no public transport available. Hence, I resorted to buying iron sheets and a bicycle to solve these problems. The other money went towards buying several bags of maize to be food secure for these months towards harvest season."

"Soon after I received my transfers my first priority was to improve the condition of my house I removed the grass on the roof and put ironsheet again I have used cement on the walls of my house"

"With my second transfer I bought cement to plaster the walls of my house so that they have a smooth finish and look. I also bought a few iron sheets just to extend my roof over the veranda to provide shade when we are outside the house. Lastly, I bought blankets for my kids as well as topped up on the maize in the house."

"Ever since I received the cash gift from Give Directly in December 2020 up to now 3 months later, my life has completely changed. I have been able to buy items that I did not think I could be able to have. Firstly, I bought iron sheets that I will roof my house soon after construction is done. Secondly, I was able to buy clothes and beddings. I have never cover myself with a blanket before. I used to cover myself with mosquito nets that ministry of health was contributing free of charge country wide. At the moment, I am able to cover myself with the most beautiful blanket and sleeping on the matress because of GD."

"I bought timbers that will be used to roof my house, food and door/ window frames"

"I bought livestock, ironsheet to improve the roof of my house and school uniform for my children using the money i received from give directly, some of the money we bought maize for food and furniture"

"I bought iron sheets and materials that will be used to roof my house"

"Ever since I was born, I have never slept on an iron sheets roofed house except at the hospital. I used to envy people who have iron sheets houses but knowing I couldn't manage to have one, i was just praying for a miracle. The coming in of GD program to my village gave me an opportunity to fulfill my dreams. I knew, the program will bring to end all the roofing problems I have been experiencing through out my life"
