"The biggest difference in my daily life since I started receiving these transfers is that I have a new iron-roofed house. I used to live in a grass-thatched house which was too small and the roof was leaking too. Due to the small income from my foodstuff business which was not consistent, I was not able to buy building materials to build a new house of my desire. With GD transfers, I was able to buy building materials such as iron sheets, nails and timber which I have used to build a house of my preference. I thank GD for changing my life."

"I spent my most recent transfer on building rental houses. I used the money I received from GiveDirectly to by building materials; mostly building blocks, ballast and cement. I then brought up the building and used apart of it to construct the roof. I bought the roofing sheets and the wood that was needed."

"My life is currently different from how it was four months ago because I managed to build a better house. I used to live in a house with an old rusty roof which leaked during rainy seasons. I also managed to start poultry farming which has been fetching me some income from the sales of eggs. I believe my poultry farm will grow and will be a more reliable source of income in future."

"My life is currently different from how it was because I am at peace in my new house. I no longer get worried of rains interfering with our beddings as I used to instead I am able to trap rainwater from my roof. This has equally improved my self-esteem and I can now freely welcome visitors in my house unlike the past when I felt ashamed of my little hut."

"They have changed the lives of people in my society. People have transitioned from thatched roof houses to iron-roofed houses using the transfers. The transfers have elevated poverty in my society. I have a new house and kitchen that can accommodate my large family and I do not have to cook under a tree anymore. Give Directly does nothing wrong."

"My life is different in that I am very happy woman to have built an iron sheet roofed house to give me a rest from looking for roofing grass every year. Maintaining a grass thatch houses has become so costly since it's now scarce in the village. "

"My life is different than it would have been because I am very happy to have an iron sheet roofed house within a short period of time. Before, I used to sleep under a leaking grass thatched house, on top of not being so spacious and it's very difficult to find grass to roof a house nowadays. "

"My life is different in that I am happy to have built an iron sheet roofed house. Before, I used to sleep under a leaking grass thatched house but this money has relieved me from moving long distance in search of roofing grass."

"GiveDirectly has done well giving money directly that has enabled people get alleviated from problems of grass thatched house by building iron sheet roofed house. In addition, it has done well by not being selective to a few like most government projects that come to help people in the community. Though the money is so helpful, GiveDirectly could have been more better by training people to utilize the transfers in such a way that provides sustainability in the long run, like project that generates more money to support life difficulties in a long run."

"I am very happy that I sleep on a comfortable mattress and in a nice iron roofed house. Before GiveDirectly launched, I was sleeping in an old tiny grass thatched hut and I could not afford even medical treatment. The GiveDirectly cash transfers have elevated my standards of living."
