"A beautiful home is all i have ever wanted i had bricks and the land but no money to build it. GiveDirectly gave me the empowerment so that i can build a nice big house with iron sheets"

"My second transfer has been used in building a house. Paying for labour and also buying materials"

"I had plans that I wanted to do when I received this money and I made sure that I used it according to what I had planned"

"I have used this money to build the house that I wanted and used the other money to buy fertilizer"

"I have used this money to buy clothes for me and my family, household utensils and blankets"

"I spent the most recent transfers I spent it on roofing, because i want to build a new house start afresh."

"I am buying my children Uniforms, back bags, and copy books. I am also buying my mattress and goods to start a new business with the second transfer. I am also buying some clothes and food for me and my children for Christmas."

"I started constructing a building before receiving this money and one thing that I never had on my mind was plastering it but because I received this money I have also included it in my plan."

"One of the main problems i am facing at the moment is shortage of food. I find it hard to feed my family as i did not harvest much. Most of the times we only eat breakfast and supper. In addition, one of the children gets sick every now and then. We find it hard to be taking him to the hospital because we do have the money to use for transport."

"GiveDirectly is doing extremely well for us. Taking us from poverty to bettering our lives. Things have been so hard on me. Since GiveDirectly came to my town so many things have changed. It has improved our lives. In my opinion, GiveDirectly is not doing anything wrong. We are so grateful for this opportunity that they have given us."
