"The house my family live in right now is not in good condition, it have thatch roof and I'm not able to pay my children school fees. If I'm eligible to receive money from GiveDirectly, i want to build a house with zinc roof and pay my children school fees."

"In my opinion, the channeling of money was fair, and even giving unconditional cash transfers allowed each individual to decide on what to spend on. I have no complaints since all the processes were adhered to accordingly."

"The only thing i ever dreamed of is to build my own house. My children and I have been living in my brother house for some time now. From the pressure and stress i received from my brother's wife make me to move out with my children. My father came to my rescue through the help of God i was able to get on Givedirectly problem. With the little money i got from my business am able to feed my children. I am planning of taking my business to another level. My children will also be traveling to Buchanan to stay with their aunty for the next school year. While i will be for going goods out of the country. Givedirectly has opened my eyes to see my destiny."

"Yes I have new plan, that is to buy zinc and build house for my family."

"In my opinion,giving unconditional cash transfers allowed each individual to decide on what to spend on. I am so grateful that the transfer has boosted my business which had been affected by COVID.I have no complaints since all the processes were fair as we had been informed by Givedirectly officers."

"My current challenges is food. My children's school fees is not paid. So this is a great challenge for my family and i."

"Challenge with my eyesight My older sister once threatened to make sure that I don't complete highschool since our parents did not send her to school. ... Challenge with food My family abandoned me"

"The money is still in savings right now but I will use it eventually when I am ready. I will buy more zinc to complete the roofing process of my house; I will increase the business that I am doing and also will send my grandson to school."

"Currently my biggest challenge is food. When i make farm, the guinea pigs will destroy the rice thereby leaving me to face hunger the following year."

"The biggest difference is the good access to food and nice shelter. Initially I used to sleep hungry for some time but since GiveDirectly sent us the first transfer, I have been accessing food well. The bed and the mattress mark another difference that I hadn’t thought of before. Sleeping comfortable was something I just hear from other people but as at now I am experiencing the comfort by myself, all this is the good work of GiveDirectly."
