"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build iron-roofed house for better acommdation. I do not have clear vision to concentrate repairing the house every year since it's normally destroyed by termites. My family almost sleeps in an open roof which is so unbearable thus Givedirectly transfers will help me solve this problem. Iam very sure of sleeping in adesent accomadation once I received this money."

"I spent my first transfer for buying construction materials that I am currently using for renovating my house and the remaining materials will be used for constructing a separate iron roofed house for my children."

"My daily life is different now in that, I'm happy for GD transfers because I no longer worry like I previously did. This money has helped me solve a lot of problems I couldn't have managed on my own. For example I bought for my children beddings, clothes, shoes and most importantly I'm building a permanent iron roofed house. I have been taking care of my children single handedly because their father passed away long time ago. I thank GiveDirectly for changing my life and putting me into a certain level."

"I spent part of my first transfer Ugx 1000000 to get back my land that I had given out in exchange for money that I used to build my iron roofed house. I also bought a door that I had to fit on my house at Ugx 160000. I then used the balance of my money and bought some house hold items such as a bed, mattress, bed sheets, curtains, utensils, clothes and food."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy oxen which will support in farming and use the balance to build an iron roofed house. Grass has become so scarce. Even the house that I currently sleep in leeks. "

"A non leaking roof, buying livestock, supporting my child's education and vending vegetables is what receiving this money means to me. Currently, my life is very miserable considering that, our household is polygamous yet our husband is a casual labourer. His daily income is very little something that makes us to live in an open roofed house and in some cases we skip our meals. When I receive my first transfer, I plan to construct a one roomed iron roofed house for myself and also to support my child's education. For the second transfer, I plan to buy livestock especially goats, and an oxen that will help me upscale my farming. The remaining amount will help me to start vending vegetables that will provide my daily income. Hence, this will change my life for the better."

"The difference in my life is that I have bought my livestock and the construction materials for an iron roofef house. With this I am optimistic of constructing an iron roofed house. I feel happy having received this, before life was a hustle and it was not easy to get even just little money."

"GiveDirectly has done well giving money directly that enabled me pay hospitals bills and buy building materials to construct an iron sheet roofed house. There's nothing it hasn't done well in my opinion. "

"GiveDirectly has done well giving money that enabled people to build iron sheet roofed houses, buy livestock and acquire household items to support their livelihood. There's nothing it hasn't done well in my opinion."

"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have my a new house in my own compound. I used the transfer on buying building materials such as nails and iron sheets which I used to put up a new house in my own compound. I had desired to have my own home but because my income from the motorcycle business was not much, I had not raised the required amount to buy the necessary materials to put up a house. I had decided to put up a grass thatched house at first as I look for money to put up an iron-roofed house. The plan was costly which GD saved me from. I am glad I did not go the long way."
