"My house has been in a deplorable condition but getting the money to build a new one has been a challenge for me. When GiveDirectly came in my community with this opportunity, I was so happy and therefore set a goal when I started recieving payments from GiveDirectly. That goal is to build a new house. As seeing, my house is nearing completion now. It will be the first time in my life to own a zinc house since I was born."

"I spent my recent money transfer from GD to buy a mattress so that I have a comfortable place to sleep on. I also used the money to buy iron sheets so that I can change the roof on my house. My old roof was made of strolls which was very hard during the rainy season as the house would leak. I also bought cloths and blankets for my family"

"My goal has been to have a better house to live in but getting the finance to achieve that goal has been a challenge for me. I started building my house since last year July. Due to the lack of money to complete, I have been laughed at and consider as a lazy man in the town. Thank GiveDirectly for giving me this huge amount of money. I am going to use it to have my house completed. When this house is completed, it will be one of the biggest and finest house in this town."
