"I have been always wanted to live in a house fully roofed with iron sheets. Now it's a dream come true. I haven't yet fixed it but atlist I have bought them and I know in due course I will fix them to my house."

"I bought iron sheets that I will use for roofing for the house that I will build, I bought 4 bags of maize to help me feeding my family, I have also bought a goat to add to the ones I already have. I also bought a martless"

"" my house fell during last rainy season, so after I received the first transfer I bought 30 iron sheets and other roofing materials and I now have a new home"

"Iam able to tell a story about how much my life has changed because I now sleep in a well roofed house with the transfer received from Give directly"

"Thanks to the transfer she now has a leak proof house and she also has enough of food to last her till next year"

"My life has changed from someone who had a grass thatched house to having a house that is roofed by iron sheets. Furthermore, I did not harvest enought maize that would have taken me and my children throughout the year,but with the coming in of the transfer, I bought maize that will take us through out the year."

"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."
