"I have not been able to construct a decent house for myself due to financial challenge I am facing. Receiving this money has enabled me to build a new decent house for my family which is still in construction. The one-roomed, iron roofed house has gained me the happiness I had lost for long.Truly, I feel that this is the biggest difference in my daily life. Secondly, a pair of oxen which has also attributed to food security in my household. This is because the pair has been very useful in cultivating a bigger area of my farm as compared to tilling this land by myself. On a few occasions, I have also been able to hire this pair to my neighbors and earn extra income."

"I have a new house which I built with part of my GD transfers. Without the transfers, I would still be living in a grass thatched house with a leaking roof. At least now I am comfortable inviting my friend and church mates to come visiting me. I have a new and decent house with new house household items such as seats which I did not have before. thanks to GD."

"Having a good, spacious and iron-roofed house is the biggest difference in my life because of the transfers. I had plans of putting up a new house but since I could not afford the resources, I was not able to. This is where GD came and saved me because I was stranded on how to achieve thjis goal. but with the transfers, I was able to buy building materials which I used to put up a house of my preference. Thanks to GD."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the newly built house that I have been able to construct.I was living in a very small grass thatched house that had a leaking roof and which was making it quite uncomfortable for my family to stay in. After receiving this transfer, I have been able to construct a timber house with an iron roof and which has made me feel so proud as a parent. We are now living in a very decent house courtesy of GiveDirectly transfers."

"The biggest difference in my daily lfe is the newly built house that I have been able to complete. We were living in a very small grass thatched house that had its roof leaking. This made our home so inhabitable especially during the rainy season. We could remain standing for the better part of the night as we waited for the rains to subside since it would mess up with the whole place."

"I spent the second transfer that I received on building a three-roomed house that is made of timber walls. I bought wood, windows and roofing sheets. I then furnished it and is now complete. I am residing in the house at the moment. It gives me a lot of joy to have managed to build this beautiful living room."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have enough food and I can adequately afford to provide. With the poor harvest we have experience for a while, accessing enough food food has been quite a challenge. I am glad that I can now eat what I feel like eating whenever I want. I am also glad that my new house is almost done and in the final touches of finishing. Once this is done, I will move in. I am excited that I will soon move in to an iron roofed house that I built; which I had never thought that I would live in such. I am thankful for GiveDirectly."

"Living in a semi-permanent house is something I did not expect to have by now. This is because I had a low income from casual work which could not even raise enough money to meet our daily needs. I had desired to build a better, spacious and iron-roofed house for the past two years and until I received my transfers, I did not have any savings to buy materials. When I received my transfer, I knew God had answered my prayers hence I used the money to buy building materials for putting up a semi-permanent house."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly has done well in uplifting our lives which were miserable before enrollment. We have been able to provide for our families effectively, purchasing livestock as assets and most importantly, building better iron-roofed houses thus enjoying good shelter. I do not see anything that GiveDirectly does not do well."

"I now have a new decent and iron roofed house to live with my family. It would have taken me many years to build a bigger and spacious house considering my lowly financial status. The previous house was in a very bad condition, it was leaking during rains. I am not worried anymore when it rains because I have a good house to live in. Apart from this, I also have a pair of oxen that will help me in doing my farming productively."
