"As old as we are, we believe this money will used to take of us in our old age. Most of it will go towards food purchase so that we don't have to starve as you can see we are old and cannot manage to work nor do casual jobs. We will also use the money to pay labourers for our garden and use some part of it to purchase fertiliser for our maize garden so that we harvest enough fields come next year"

"I am happy to be in line to receive this money, it is a blessing beyond imagination for me it is something that I do not take for granted, my life will change for the better, as you can see , my house is grass roofed , I cannot manage to buy iron sheets for myself and the money will help to fill in that need, at my age I did not expect to handle such a huge sum of money, thanks alot for such an impact you will be to me"

"The money will help me alot as you can see, mu house needs some maintainance, with the GD money, my house will be in good shape, I feel that my life will change for the better because I am thinking of starting a new business that will in turn help me on a long run to easily find basic needs for my family, I feel like food, shelter and clothes will no longer be something that I will be worried of."

"I feel so blessed and happy about the prospect of receiving this money, it is something that I did not expect throughout my life, alot of things will change here, I will buy iron sheets, and bricks for my new house ...I do not have proper household items the money will also help to fill a gap on that one. God should bless the ones that have contributed to this huge amount of money to be made available to us soon, we thank you so much."

"Receiving this money really means so much to me and I'm grateful for getting an opportunity to enrol in a programme like this,though I have not received the money yet but I plan to use my first transfer to build a bigger house with ironsheet roof honestly I feel tired for sleeping in a glass fatched house because thats what i know ever since I was born."

""I have welcomed this programme whole heartedly I'm super excited about everything to be honest I have never experienced this kind of money before and thinking about the money alone really means alot because i will be able to enhance my living standard as you can see my house needs a renovation,I need to buy food for the whole family and I plan to invest some money in a second hand shoe business."Said Slyvia Gilbert of Mkwanda Village."

"I would like to express my gratitude to GD for this program. I am so grateful. My life will change. With the money, I will manage to buy some bags of cement so that I can do plaster my house. I will also buy some bags of maize so that I can supplement on the food that i have."

"The school has been my major responsibility, I have Five children who are currently Schooling both in primary and secondary schools respectively, One of them had cleared his studies but was unable to collect his certificates due to the huge balance that I had not cleared up. On receiving my transfer I channelled KES 40,000 to clear the school fees arrears, it came as a relief to me, I then used the remaining KES 10,000 to pay school fees for the rest of my children."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does its work well by treating everyone with respect, they visited all the houses without discriminating against anyone, I don't see anything that is not done well, GiveDirectly Staffs are professionals in their work."

"I so excited to be part of the program. This gives me a chance to renovate my house. I will buy iron sheets, timber and mattress. I will also buy maize."
