"" In no time, I will be living in a well roofed house because of the funds received from Give"

"i used to stay in a poorly grass thatched house, the house was heavily leaking every time it was raining there was no chance of sitting down when it was raining we could all stand at one point. with the money that i have received i have renovated the roof of my house and now we are staying in a good house. i also used to have no food at home but now i have bought enough food for my family."

"I used to sleep in a leaking house but this is now history since i have improved the roof of my house with the funds from GIveDirectly and on top of that i have enough food since i also used some of the funds to buy bags of maize for my family"

"The transfer has helped us in a big way and it has thus created a big difference in our lives. We were able to build another kitchen that is bigger and roofed with iron sheets. With this kitchen, guests visiting our household like my mother will have somewhere to spend the night and we will no longer have to borrow a place for them to stay in. Our children too will have a nice place to sleep. Also, having added some furniture in our household, that is, a chair and two tables, the house looks much better. We can now hence sit comfortably and chat together with family and friends. The two bags of maize that we bought, will sustain us for quite a while and hence we will not have any worry about what we are going to eat as we wait for the ones on the farm to ripen."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am living in a permanent house. Previously my house was in a poor state and I did not have any hopes of sleeping under a permanent house anytime soon. This is because of the poverty life that had stricken my household. The money that I was I was earning from the casual jibs was barely enough for the basic necessities, leave alone saving up to build a permanent house. The house has a leaky roof and holes were all over the walls and it was really tough especially during the winter seasons. I am now happy together with my family since we are currently sleeping under a spacious permanent house."

"I have six children and a husband. This house is too small for us. Receiving this money will mean alot to me as I will be able to build a bigger house for us. My current house is thatched with grass and I would like to buy iron sheets which I will use as new roof for my new house."

"She says she will roof her house as she has been sleeping in a house which leaks. The other part of the money she will buy food as she does not have food to keep her through out the month"

"He says the money will be used to buy blankets as he only has one torn blanket. The other part of the money he will roof his house"

"My life is better now. I will have an iron sheet roofed house."

"The recipient used the transfer to fix thier house by installing a new roof and plaster , the recipient is so greatful for this cause this time around the rains won't affect them."
