"RE " I planned to spend the most of my recent transfer on purchasing zincs for the construction of my house "."

"RE " Givedirectly is doing well for us and am very happy. Because i was actually worrying how to renovate my house and secondly how to get back on my feet in to the business world "."

"In the months to come, I am hoping to raise enough cash to purchase livestock, especially goats. I believe that these are the best assets that I can keep in my home and benefit a lot. First, I will be able to sell one or two as soon as their number increases and sort out any pending bills. Also, through them, I believe that I will be able to start businesses of my choice. "

"The significant difference between now and before is that I've been able to accomplish a lot in such a short period. I'm glad my dreams have come true without any difficulty. All this has been necessitated by cash transfers. I've been able to pay my son's secondary school fees which would be a challenge before. I am thankful for the assistance that's considerably raised my life and brought us happiness."

"It was like any other day in Baringo, with a scorching sun. I was relaxing outside of my home after a strenuous day. I got a text message confirmation that I had received my share of the cash transfer. I called my kids and broke the good news to them. They were ecstatic and overjoyed to hear the news. We all knew this would greatly aid us in achieving our objectives. I'm incredibly grateful for the support of the organization that's helped improve our lives."

"It has been eight years since I built the current shelter. Over the period, the grass-thatched roof has worn out, causing water to leak when it rains. As a result, I wish to build a new two-room house, made of mud walls and a tin roof. Approximately, the entire project will cost me $700, which I cannot raise at once. Alternatively, I plan to buy two iron sheets every month until I assemble enough for the construction. Then I will secure more materials like building poles and nails, and later hire someone to take on the exercise. Installing a decent shelter for my family would make them so happy. "

"When I first received the cash transfers, I spent most of it on building a concrete pillar around the walls of my house to reinforce it. However, due to pressing financial obligations like food, I was not able to channel every amount toward the renovation of the structure, which left one side of the wall unattended. My prayer is to conclude this project withing the next year so that I can start looking at other things like securing goats and more chickens for rearing. "

"After my house developed huge holes in the walls, I was scared to shelter under it and I sought sleeping space at my niece’s house, where I have been staying to date. Before, I lacked the money to build a new house. Gladly, the cash transfers presented an ideal chance to work on the construction project. I have already secured 4 iron sheets through previous transfers. My goal is to assemble the building materials like tree poles and iron sheets, then hire someone later to construct the two-room house. "
