"Receiving this money means that I will spend for building iron-roofed house. I failed to complete my permanent house due to lack of money. The rains are washing off it's walls and is in danger of collapsing. Givedirectly transfers will enable me complete my house hence providing better accommodation. I will also manage to save some money spent on renovating agrass thatched house for providing other basic needs."

There is a lot of inconvinience in renovating and when it rains at night hence causing discomfort during sleeping hours."

"My plan is to spend the money for building iron-roofed house. I currently almost sleep out because my grass thatched house leaks alot since it's grass is roaten. When it rains suffer under coldness and miss sleep and this affects my health. I will have a better shelter after bulding with Givedirectly money. My household members will no longer have aburden of sleepless nights under coldness."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to complete my iron-roofed house. I started building iron-roofed house but it ended at the ring beam level due to inadequate money for completing it. Iam forced to continue staying in a leaking grass thatched house with unbearable conditions of coldness. Once I receive this money , my plan will be to complete the house. My household members will thereafter enjoy staying in non leaking but rather comfortable accommodation."

"The biggest hardship that I face is inability to own a reliable source of income which makes me very vulnerable. I am a housewife relying on the support from my spouse who is working with East African roofings.

"My life will be different in the next six months in that I will be having a new house. I would not be staying in the house with a leaking roof anymore. I believe in the next six months, I would have bought all the required building materials for putting up a new house. Thanks to GD for the transfers."

"I have been dreaming of owning a better house (roofed with iron sheets) and take my children to a better school. We are currently living in a small grass thatched house and I feel I should own an bigger iron sheet roofed house. Owing to this, our living standard will improve and my children will have private room for their studies. Therefore, receiving this money mean I will be able to own a better house and improved education for my children."

"The transfer has enabled me to purchase enough building materials for constructing my new house. I recently bought iron sheets and building poles. I have been living in an old hut which was not safe at all. It was even worse during the heavy rains because it would soak everything hence forcing us to seek shelter from our neighbors. Though my hope was to upgrade to a better house, I did not have adequate resources to accomplish this. When I received transfers from GiveDireclty, I was now able to build a decent iron-roofed house. To me, this is the biggest dream I have ever met. I can't believe I will never bear the shame of asking for shelter during winter. Give Directly has really saved me and I can't thank them enough."

"Receiving this money means that I will build iron-roofed house for my household members. Iam staying in agrass thatched house which leaks some times when rains are much. My children and up getting neumonia due to coldeness. Once the house is complete I believe my family members will no longer continue over suffering from neumonia."
