"My life has changed in a way that I will have"

"i was very happy and excited. I did not expect it . Now I will be able to do things i could not afford"

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now sleeping on comfortable beddings unlike before when I use to sleep on the floor. I was always feeling back pain in the morning."

"The decision made by GiveDirectly to work in our village was a great favor to us. Everything done in my opinion was perfect, and even those who missed it because of the reasons known to them still appreciate the great work that is currently ongoing."

"In my opinion, all I have it to really appreciate the great support I received from GiveDirectly. I have made amazing steps in farming so far both livestock and subsistence. Within the village, everyone is grateful and wishing GiveDirectly the best in their next project with other villages."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now able to meet the needs of the family more easily. Through the transfer,I was able to purchase enough food and clothing for my family members."

"I was preparing to go to my usual place of work for charcoal preparation. It was about 10 o'clock when I heard the message notification in my phone. My helper was around and she confirmed that it was the transfer I have been waiting. I felt very happy for receiving the transfer and I had to cancelled my days plan went to the Mpesa shop to withdrew the cash since I had no food for the family."

"The main challenge is food access. I depend on people who support me. Food production is not effective because we don't use fertilizer and I can't provide the labor which is required."

"I would like to express my gratitude for being considered in this program. My husband is polygamous and the support he provides is not enough. I am planning of buying iron sheets when I receive my transfer. Part of the amount will be used to buy food as the food we have is not enough. I will also buy kitchen utensils and some beddings."

"The main challenge is food. Food access is is a challenge."
