"My plan in the past was to improved my old hut or build a new house for me and my family, but unfortunately for me and due to the poor living conditions in this County, things had been very difficult and disappointing for me, no job to do. How can I suppor my family when I don't have anything good to do, no job in this Country for young people. Moreover and not with standing I was able to pay all my four children school fees after receiving the cash transfer from GiveDirectly and I also started a new business with some of the money, the prospect from the business will enable me build my own house .The money was spend on school fees and purchasing more new goods for my business, so for and on behalf of my family and I we want to say thank you to GiveDirectly for job well done."

"I spend all of my second transfer to build a house. This is because, the house that I previously had crumbled and we were let with nowhere to call home. Both my husband and our seven kids have been finding place to lay their heads on in our neighborhood whom have been hosting us for some while. My husband had to stop his daily hustle of brewing local beer because he had no where to store it as he was previously storing it in the house before it collapsed. I'm so happy that I was able to build a three roomed house and I thank GiveDirectly for the support because all this would not have happened were it not for the transfers."
