"With the second transfers, I used ksh 35000 to pay school fees arrears for my four children in highschool who have been on and off for the whole term but I got to finally clear the debt for all of them and given that they are almost done with school, It really means so much to me to see them settle in school like other students as they finish off. I also bought one more cow with the rest of the transfers to add to the three that I usually have, so that I can increase the supply of milk as I plan for my next business venture."

"I am hoping that the cows I have now will be healthy and big enough in one year, since my next financial plan is to sell them and venture into food farming with the money I will get from that sale. The plan is to plant maize, beans, sukuma wiki and other vegetables to ensure that we have enough food to sell and at home as well."

"Now that I have cleared the debt I had, and I have maize in the farm already, It is a good opportunity for me to start planning on putting the piece of land into good use in this coming year. If we will be lucky enough to get enough rains, I will plant maize and beans at least twice next year. Hoping that this will go well, I will renovate our house and expand it as well to make it more homely and big enough for my entire family."

"Given that we all have different needs, it was really good that Give Directly decided to give us the money individually and unconditionally. This created a lot of financial responsibility among families and we got a chance to deal with our needs and situations in different ways."

"When I get enough money from the milk business I am planning to start, I will also plant maize and beans to create a second source of income and ensure food security at home. I will try my best to have a healthy family by providing all the basic needs especially enough and quality food."

"In my mind GiveDirectly is doing well because they are helping the poor to improve their lives. As for me I have not observed anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"What I am hoping to accomplish this year or next year is to see my son in collage because he just graduated from high school this year. Accomplishing this means a lot to me because I believe that when he graduate from collage and get a job he will be able to help take care of me."

"My recent transfer I am planning to buy Zinc and Nails to build new house."

"What I am hoping to accomplish this year and next year is to buy my Land in zwedru. Getting land in zwedru has been my dream even before the arrival of GiveDirectly, so accomplishing this means a lot to me because land is a valuable assets even my children children's will benefit in future."

"When I received my first transfer I was feeling fine because this money will help me improve my house."
