"I spent 300USD of my transfer on buying additional stock for my shop business .This is because initially I started the 200USD stock but couldn't meet all my customers needs but through the GD tranfers have made it possible and now my business is doing quite well. I spent 220USD of my on building a 28 Iron roofed three roomed house because the one I had was a single tiny room which served as a bedroom and kitchen at the same time."

"The biggest difference in my life is building a modern kitchen because the I had one was old and worn out.It was a shame when visitors came visiting because the kitchen walls would fall apart especially during rainy season and the grass-thatched roofs we're leaking. I had desired to build one for a long time but I was not able to but now I am very happy and grateful to GiveDirectly because the transfers came at a time when my kitchen was in a sorry state. Right now, I can comfortably welcome visitors because I also extended my single room. I am more confident walking on the road because I have bought decent clothing for my family and we are more neat than before. Availability of adequate food has also made my kids grow healthy and happy.Initially, we relied on casual labor hence would eat from hand to mouth but GD transfers have enabled me buy food in bulk. The transfers have also enabled me buy farm inputs and plant on time like other neighbors who are better off but this wasn't the case before."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is buying building materials for my Iron roofed house.Right now, I am optimistic that my Iron roofed house will be complete in the next few months once I receive the next transfers because I now have all materials in place. Initially, I was stressed up because I couldn't afford to even buy Ironsheets but I am grateful to God and GD for making my dream come pass."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to renovate my house which was in critical condition. Its walls were weak and almost collapsing. Also, some of my properties were always stolen by some unknown people because of the condition of the house. There were holes all over and also this made my children always suffer from pneumonia because of the cold nights. However, the coming of GD in my life has transformed everything. I am now sleeping under a nice iron-roofed house which is well plastered and I no longer worry about the thieves nor the cold nights."

"I built an iron roof house with 25 iron sheets , bought a sack of maize and bought clothes for my family members.."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now sleep under an iron-roofed spacious house. Previously I used to shelter under a small hut which was I a bd state and most falling because of the broken building poles that barely supported the building. Life was tough because some of my family members suffered a lot because of this, especially during the winter season. Finally, all these problems came to an ending when GD came into our lives. I am now sleeping comfortably in a better house without worrying bout the rains."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have been able to build a new iron roofed. I was previously sheltering in grass thatched house with no hopes of upgrading to a better one. Had I not received this money, I would still be sheltering in my old hut. In addition to this, I am also sleeping on a new bed and a mattress after replacing them through the transfer. I would still be using the rags of used clothes and old mats were it not for this transfer from GiveDirectly."

"I was greatly troubled because my house was nearly collapsing and I was not financially stable to renovate it. I was worried because it was the season of heavy rains. The roof was dilapidated and I knew it would leak uncontrollable when it rains. I would have been forced me to seek help from neighbours had I not received the transfer from GiveDirectly. I have been able to renovate the roof after purchasing new iron sheets, timber and nails through this transfer. I am no longer worried now since its in a stable condition, which makes it to be the biggest difference in my daily life."

"My children used to sleep in a leaking grass thatched house. I have built them a bigger house with an iron roof and planning to build my own house. The least of my expectations in life was having an iron roof house at this time since the little money we get from daily hustles is channelled to food and school fees. Thank you GiveDirectly."

"I used to live in 2 grass thatched houses. I demolished on to get space to build one with an iron roof and everyone at home is very excited. I did not know that at any time in my life I would own a iron roof house. We used to sleep on a very old mattress but now we have a good night rest thanks to GiveDirectly transfers."
