"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. "

"I overheard my neighbors talk about receiving their cash transfers while we were at the farm. I closely paid attention to their talk because I too anticipated the same monies. When I inquired what they were talking about, they told me about the funds they had received. At that point, I ran back home to check whether I too had any text messages. On checking my phone, I saw that GiveDirectly had sent me money. I was filled with joy now that I had a surety to accomplish my goals. My husband was equally overjoyed when I shared the news with him."

"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. "
