"My life is different than it would have been because of the iron roofed house being constructed which gives me hope of resting from that leaking grass thatched house. Before, my house used to worry me alot because it leaks during rainy season and it's in a state of collapse if the rains intensify. "

"My life is different since I am currently employed because I was able to start up an income generating activity (buy and sell silver fish, tomatoes, onions and g.nuts) that is enabling me to provide for my family's day to day needs. Prior to receiving this money, I had to do casual labor in other people's farms to raise money to cater for my family. In addition to this, although it was using the first transfer, I am delighted that I was able to build which would not be the case if I had never received this money. This has relieved me from the issue of looking for grass that is hard to get and a leaking roof always."

"My life has changed because I am currently constructing an iron roofed house which is at ring beam level. Once it is complete, I shall rest from the struggle of looking for thatch, the new house will be safe and spacious enough to accommodate us and the harvest."

"Currently, I have a grass thatched roof kitchen which also acts as a sleeping place for my children. The children are normally inconvenienced whenever it rains because the kitchen is leaking thus they are normally forced to wake up and either shelter in a safe corner or seek shelter in the main house. I, therefore, have plans of saving the transfers that I will be receiving so that I can use it to buy iron sheets which I'll later use to construct a new decent kitchen."

"Owning the house is the biggest difference in my daily life. Previously I used to sleep under a small grass-thatched muddy hut which was ever leaking whenever it could rain. This was really hectic especially for my child whenever she wanted to study at night it was difficult for her since the house was not spacious. we are now happy and safer because we are sleeping under a semi-permanent iron-roofed house which is also well plastered. My child can now study comfortably without any difficulties which are giving me hope for her bright future."

"My life has improved in that, I'm happy since I bought an ox and construction materials. In the past, I used to work in other people's agricultural land in order to have my own land ploughed. But this won't be the case again since I can now plough with my own ox that will plough together with my brother's. In addition, I will soon be relieved from the hardships associated with renovating a grass thatched house since I will be constructing an iron roofed house."

"My life is now changing in that I'm constructing an iron roofed house which will relief me from the burden of sleeping on thatched house. Currently, I sleep in an old thatched house whose roof has been destroyed by the rats hence I spend sleepless nights whenever it rains together with my family. In addition, I managed to hire an acre of land where I cultivated my crops. Previously, I struggled to hire agricultural land since I didn't have enough money."

"In opinion, GiveDirectly has done well giving money directly that has enabled people to acquire what they couldn't afford, especially building iron sheet roofed house. This has brought happiness among people within the households. I can't identify anything it hasn't done well. "

"My standard of living has changed for the better in that, I am now sleeping on a decent mattress and a bed. previously, I slept on very old mattress and a bed that were very uncomfortable. Furthermore, I have bought construction materials that I intend to use for constructing an iron roofed house. I am planning to start up with the construction once I receive my second transfer. when completed, I expect to be relieved from the burden of looking for grass twice annually for renovating my hut."

"I have been able to purchase two cows which is a big difference in my life. My mind is settled now because it is easy for me to do things as a man for example treat my family members, facilitate agricultural activities and above all start up a construction of a decent iron roofed house. I wouldn't have managed to do any of these if it was not for the GiveDirectly transfers."
