"My life is now different because I now sleep in a decent house. The previous house was in a poor state and leaking during the rainy seasons. Also, we are now taking three meals everyday like the rest an now my children are all healthy. Previously they were malnutrition because they could only take a single meal or go without. Lastly, I now have a dairy cow and I am currently getting milk for my consumption and sell the remaining liters to my friends. Thus is now my source of income."

"Before the coming of GiveDirectly, I was living in a mud house and my dream was to upgrade to a more permanent brick house. I am pleased to live in a good and decent house. I had no hopes of improving this life was it not for GiveDirectly coming to our village and giving us the transfer. I am now happy to live in a newly renovated Iron-roofed house and spacious enough unlike the one I used to live in."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the house that I have build. It has helped me to put up an iron-roofed house that is on drier grounds. The grass-thatched houses were leaking during the current heavy rains. The ground on which I had put up the other old house was damp and not conducive for my family to live in. I am happy that I have been able to move my family to some better house which is would not have been possible without the transfers that I have received."

"I used all of my recent transfer to build a new house. I had always wished that I could get enough money that would enable me build a new house but the little amount of money that I got from my casual works were barely enough to meet the cost of the basic needs. On receiving this transfer, I embarked on a serious mission of building this house and which I have since completed its construction."

"My life is currently different because I now own some livestock which includes goats and a bull which I acquired through this money. To me, these are assets that I can readily depend on to meet my future financial needs like educating my children who are still young. I am also living in a decent iron-roofed house which I built using the transfer. This has been my biggest dream because I tried to upgrade to a better house but I never succeeded since I lacked the financial resources for this. I am grateful to GiveDirectly for helping me achieve to build my dream house."

"I am now living in a decent iron-roofed house that I built through the transfer. My previous house was in a very pathetic condition and I couldn't even afford to renovate it. I am grateful to GiveDirectly because when I received my transfer, I purchased enough building materials to construct the new house. Apart from this, my son is now comfortably in school because of this money. I have also revived my business which was almost collapsing. I am now getting a good income which is able to effectively buy daily foodstuffs for my family and also paying daily household expenses without struggle."

"Before GiveDirectly came to us, I did not have a decent house. The house that happened to be my home was in a bad state, its roof was dilapidated and leaking when it rains. I couldn't afford to even buy building materials to renovate it. My husband who was our sole breadwinner was sick and indisposed and couldn't work anymore. I am now living happily in my decent iron-roofed house, courtesy of GiveDirectly. I also took my husband to a good hospital was treated and now recovering well because of this money."

"I thank GiveDirectly because were it not for this financial support, I wouldn't have managed to pay for my children school fees on time. This has given me an opportunity to raise money for their next payment. I am at peace now because their studies will not be interrupted concerning school fees. I also managed to buy enough building materials and constructed a new iron-roofed house. I am happy because I can now access a good shelter, unlike the previous house which was nearly collapsing since it was unstable from the roof."

"My life has greatly changed after receiving this money because I have been able to replace my bedding with a new mattress and a bed. Had it not been GiveDirectly, then I would still be sleeping on the old and worn-out mats which were not comfortable. At least I can now sleep well on my new bedding. I also have a pair of oxen to help me in my farming. I am glad that I will not be hiring from anyone during the planting season like I used to do before, instead, I will be hiring them at a fee and earn some money."

"The biggest difference is the happiness that I now have about this transfer. It has brought so much joy in my life after being able to accomplish the things that I earlier thought I would take longer to be able to accomplish. I feel more empowered ecnomically than I felt before and I am looking forward to accomplishing even much more bigger dreams going forward."
