There are so many disadvantages in living in a house that you don't pay rent because it's been given to you by a extended family, sometimes you receive insult for things you didn't do. Right now I'm living in a house own by my sister in law. When I received this money from GiveDirectly will built my own house and invest in business. Living in my own house will add value to my life."

When the rain is falling, I can't sleep, I have to park all my things in another person house, placed my dishes inorder to reduce the over flooding of the rain in the house."

""When I receive this money, I plan to renovate house. My house was built since 2001. It's a mud house with no steel or pillars. Because I did not have enough money when I was building the house, I used the lowest grid. I have not renovated the house since. The zinc has now rusted. Whenever rain falls, we literally reposition our belongings in a particular corner of the room to prevent it from getting wet. Additionally, because we did not use cement or steel, the wall have started cracking. So when I receive this money, I will use it to renovate my house.""
