"Lack of reliable source of income is the current challenge I am facing in life. I do subsistence farming and my husband does casual jobs earning very little income which caters for food and school fees. I have three children schooling at primary level but due to lack of school fees they have been out of school for four days now. This has affected to their performances.The community is dry and the family depends on food from shop and due to the little income the family has been going without food."

"GiveDirectlys support has made a positive impact on my life, giving me hope for a brighter future with the possibility of a bigger, improved house. What stands out in their support is how the officers conducted themselves during enrollment; they don't ask for anything in return, not money or food, which really helps save costs. The entire process is free and fair, showing their genuine commitment to helping. I hope they continue the same approach."

"At present, I lack a concrete plan for the coming year and beyond due to the absence of a reliable source of income, despite numerous ongoing obligations. My current focus is on supporting my daughter, who is hospitalized and awaiting an amputation procedure for her left leg. My prayers and hopes are centered on the success of this procedure. Once completed, I will have the opportunity to redirect my attention towards other goals that I believe will shape the outcome of the year."

"Before receiving support from GiveDirectly, I was struggling a lot. However, when I received the first amount, I was able to provide healthy food for my two grandchildren, who have since been attending school without missing a day. I am one of the happiest members of the village who received the full amount within the stipulated timelines given by GiveDirectly. I appreciate the honesty of the organization and their willingness to follow up and ensure that all our needs were met. I have no complaints at all, but I pray that the organization continues to do good work in villages to improve people's living standards."

"Before receiving the transfers, many village members lacked decent housing, and some did not own any livestock. With the promise of support from GiveDirectly, everyone eagerly anticipated its arrival, and we were all thrilled and grateful when it finally came through. We used the funds to fulfill our long-held aspirations, and we have no complaints about the process. However, we hope for a scale-up that would accommodate the few people within our village whom we feel may have been unfairly left out. We are simply grateful that everything went so smoothly, and we express our heartfelt thanks."

"Receiving $450 from GiveDirectly brought a wave of possibilities into my life. At 84 years old, I knew exactly how I wanted to utilize these funds. Firstly, I prioritized security for myself and my belongings by investing $330 to fence my compound. This decision not only brings peace of mind but also ensures a safe environment. With dreams of starting a small home garden, I allocated some funds to purchase fruit trees like mangos, known to thrive in our region of Baringo. This venture not only promises fresh produce but also fills my days with purpose and joy. Recognizing the importance of nourishment, I set aside $40 to buy food, ensuring that my nutritional needs are met. Lastly, fulfilling a longstanding desire, I dedicated $50 towards my grandson's cultural circumcision ceremony, a meaningful tradition I've always wanted to support. Overall, these funds have enabled me to enhance my security, invest in my future, nurture my well-being, and celebrate cherished traditions."

"With the recent $200 transfer from GiveDirectly, I tackled our pressing hunger issue first. Allocating $150 for food, my family now eats well, and our happiness knows no bounds. Despite the tough market conditions, I invested $50 in boosting my tomato business. Surprisingly, amidst the challenges, I manage to save $10 a day, ensuring a brighter future for us."

"GD does well give us cash because it enables us with many choices. Continue monitoring us for project sustainability"

"I hope to have one of the farms here in our because I acquired land for farming out of my transfer"

"In fact there is a great difference because GD delivers what it promises except other agencies which promise and don't deliver"
