"I am currently living in a single house and my dream has been to build an iron sheet house. When I receive this money I will build a two-roomed iron sheet house at KES 30000, buy a cow with KES 20000 to enable me to earn a living through the production and sale of milk. I will buy food and clothing for my children with KES 20000 and save the remaining KES 30000 to help me pay fees for my daughter when she joins secondary school."

"When I receive this money I will buy a cow with KES 25000, also I will budget KES 40000 to construct a two roomed iron sheet house for my children. I will clear school fees arears of KES 20000 of my son in secondary school to enable him study without disturbance of being sent to collect fee balances. For the remaining KES 15000 I will buy food and clothing's for family members."

"Receiving this money means adding capital to my business. I am currently running a book shop business and I started with a Capital of Ksh.20000. The market is big such that I cannot satisfy my clients fully with the stock I have. I want to add a stock of Ksh.55000 so as to satisfy my clients. I will use the remaining amount to start an Mpesa business at the book shop. This will add my income to approximately Ksh. 5000 every month."

"The biggest hardship I have ever faced in my life is food insecurity. I am a housewife and rely on my husband who does a security job. The money he gets is so little and can't sustain the family needs. Due to this, I have been struggling to put food on the table. Sometimes the children go to school without proper meal's or without food completely hence I feel so bad and can't do anything about it."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly does well by giving money to the poor in the community to build better houses and to buy dairy cows. I do not find anything that GiveDirectly did not do well."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have bought a heifer and a oxen. I do small scale farming and casual jobs in the village. The amount of money that I get through this is so small and only for consumption. I had no other source of income to enable me buy the livestock. I buy milk daily and this is so costly for me. When I received the transfer I felt so happy because GiveDirectly enabled me to own a dairy cow. Currently I have a heifer and a oxen. When my heifer reproduce in the next future I will be able to get enough milk for my family and even sell the surplus at the market to earn an income. The oxen I will use on ploughing my farm. This will ease my work and enable me to dig a bigger farm. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed my living standard. It had enable me own livestock project which could have taken quite some time to get it. I have that I will improve this dairy farming and devote all my time on doing this."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by giving out unconditional cash transfers to people. By doing so, one is able to improve his/her lifestyle through building houses and acquiring assets like land and livestock. I find nothing that GiveDirectly does not do well."

"Since the demise of my wife six years ago, my life has never been the same again. She was engaged in a business of buying and selling maize and I was employed as a casual laborer in a tea factory. Catering for household expenditure was not a big deal unlike today where life has become extremely hard. I had to leave my job in order to take care of my children who were still young by then. I had to do manual jobs within the village which is hard to come by and when I get one, the money is hardly enough to cater to a family of five. When I get one, I go home with approximately KES 150 a day. In this case, financial inadequacy has been the biggest hardship I have faced in life."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that on now a happy farmer after boosting my livestock rearing. Currently, I am owning a herd of 30 goats after purchasing 10 more with the transfer. With this number of animals, they will be able to reproduce hence able to cater for the educational needs of my children without any problem."
