"My house is very old and almost falling to the ground. And I have been selling coal and saving from it to improve my house. But I haven't been able to save enough over the years. Fortunately, I received money from GiveDirectly so I will use it to build a decent house for myself."

"I used my transfer in adding to my business. I had a small capita which would not let me do the things i wanted in my business. I also bought food and built a house at my wifes village"

"I have been facing a lot of problems ever since my husband left, my house fell , I only managed to buy some iron sheets and I couldn't afford a bag of fertilizer"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that the level of poverty has significantly reduced. I no longer sleep on the floor, I have better house and no longer spend the night awake when it rains, so there are a lot of improvements in my life. That is the biggest difference I can cite, thanks to GiveDirectly."

"I was so happy the moment I got the money because at least I had gotten a great thing to help me with the challenges that needed to be addressed and I am so impressed by this program of GiveDirectly. It is not easy to just get this kind of assistance, so I was very happy and grateful when I got the money."

"I felt so happy the moment I got the money because I had been stranded and did not know what to do or where to run to in as far as school fees arrears for my children and the house we had been living in are concerned. I was grateful because the money from GiveDirectly was an answer to all those questions I was having, and it helped me to settled my children's school fees arrears and build my family a new and better house because the house we have been living in was so small and in a very poor condition."
