"The biggest difference that I can attest is that, GiveDirectly enabled me to construct a decent spacious house. Initially, I used to sleep in a small, congested and collapsing house which was unsafe to dwell in. I only stayed in because I had no alternative though I lived in fear. The only source of income I relied on was charcoal burning. This business could not cater for my basic needs such as food, therefore there was no way it could enable me to build a house. As of now, I am grateful because GiveDirectly enabled me to get a nice house and I am living happily out of fear."
