"I used this transfer in a manner that I thought would leave a positive impact in my life. My house needed repair, I used kshs 16,000 to buy 12 bags of cement and paid kshs 16,000 for labour. This helped to repair my house. I have 4 primary school children on class 7,5,1 and nursery school respectively, I used kshs 4,000 to clear their school fees balance. I bought 1 bag of 90kg maize flour and sugar worth kshs 10,000. I also want to venture in livestock, therefore I bought 2 goats @ 2,000 and 2 ducks @ 2,500."

"I recently lost my father and mother and left with eight siblings to take care of. I am a tailor and I get $7 a day which has been helping me buy food for my siblings. Thing transfer has enabled me to pay school fees for them as I work and save money for food."

"I spent kes. 290000 in buying two hectares of land, from the two months transfers I received, I managed to spend kes. 11000 in buying a piece of land for my family. I am a father of two, a boy who is 13 years old and in class four and a daughter 9 years old and in class 3. I am a farmer. I do maize and vegetables and also do beans farming. My wife is also a farmer. Before receiving these transfers life was hard and I had a goal of buying my own piece of land since I had not enough land. We are many in my father’s home and only own a small piece of land"

"I paid school fees for my two children with the first transfer. With the second transfer, I took kes. 40000 and bought 30 iron sheets, nails, and timber. Bought food and goat at kes. 3000 and paid school fees of kes. 4000 for my son who is in college. I am a mother of six, two boys and four girls. One is married and a teacher and another one is married and works in DOs office the remaining ones are not married yet. I do farming of maize and vegetables. My husband is old and does not work. My current house is big but the roof is old I would like to renovate it. I am being rained on. We hope things are going to be all right. Thank you so much GiveDirectly for your help. You have put a smile on my face."

"I am thankful for the support. We are happy that GiveDirectly has given us this transfer with no strings attached."

"The most outstanding right thing about Give Directly is that it does not discriminate people. Transfers are awarded fairly. You do not depend on rumours. Your aim of eradicating poverty is also a good thing. I always pray for Give Directly so that you may continue changing people's lives. Everything about you is okay, there is actually nothing to improve on."
