"We have been dwelling in a delapetated structure for many years and the opportunity to receive this unconditional cash transfer from GiveDirectly will enable us meet our plan to build ourselves a modern structure in our community. Sleeping in a thatched roof house is a miserable situation that we couldn't avoid only because we don't have the means to change the situation to better housing for ourselves. We don't sleep well at night during rainy season because of the so many leakages of our thacthed house . Our plan is to build ourselves a new home upon receiving the unconditional cash transfer from GiveDirectly."
