"I have managed to buy 30 iron sheets and other roofing materials to build a new house after receiving the transfer from give directly"

"I so exited that i will be able to sleep on iron roofed house at my old age. I thought I will die without having an iron sheet house."

"I spent 50,000 shillings on purchasing building materials including iron sheets and nails; hiring a carpenter who would build us a semi-permanent house; and cutting timber on my compound. My biggest desire has been to build a better house for my family because we are currently living in a mud-walled house with a leaking roof. Besides, we used the remaining amount on buying foodstuffs for our family's use."

"I bought food and matress, ironsheets, nails for roofing and clothes"

"My life is different than how it was before because I have been able to construct a spacious permanent house. Before the coming of GiveDirectly, I have been sleeping under a small temporary house and it could not accommodate some of my family members. Therefore they were forced to sleep at my neighbor's house. Also, whenever it could rain I had to seek shelter since the house had a leaky roof. Secondly, I was able to clear the hospital bill for my son who has been unwell for so many years, and as a family, we didn't have enough to facilitate that. I am now happy because he is recovering. I would not have done all these if it were not for the financial support."

"iam living in an ironsheet roofed house and everybody in my family is living a healthy happy life"

"My life has changed so much, start from my house, it has new roof, I have beddings, and I have food to eat for the whole family."

"I have bought 20 ironsheets that i have used to improve the roof of my house, i have boighy new beddings for every member in the family and i have started a small business of selling zitenje to make extra profit to take care of my family"

"i used to stay in a grass thatched house, towards every rainy season i used to change the roof. it was a tiresome job and my dream was to improve the roof. currently i have bought iron sheets and am living in a good house with no worries of changing the roof every year. thank you Give Directly."
