"When I received my transfer, I bought a heifer worth KES 14000. I decided on this so that when it reproduces, it will save me the hustle of buying milk on a daily basis. I spent the remaining amount to build a house for my family. I had bought a piece of land using my first transfer and saw it necessary to build a house there so that I would relocate. I settled on this since our family land is small and one cannot practice even small scale farming like growing vegetables."

"The money made a big difference in my life especially now that Iam about to own a proper house. I had never slept in an iron sheets corrugated house but soon I will smile when building this house is completed."

"I have been lacking enough food for my family I also need cement for maintainance of my house so I will use the money to Carter me in those areas"

"I am happy to receive this huge amount of money because I got divorced and it's a challenge to feed my children all alone so the money will help me alot to buy basic needs"

"I feel blessed, I have never received such a big sum of money in my life I thank this Organization alot for the help and they should continue with this to others who are also in need"

"Give Directly did very well in bringing the money directly to the community members. If they had gone through other officials, the money would not have reached us and helped us as much as it has"

"I never used to have a nice house. It was a mud hut with a grass roof. Since receiving this transfer, it has taught me discipline. To use the money the right way. I have managed to start building a house. My plan is to build and finish it by next month. What is remaining now is the roof. I am very happy. I can now say I live in a good house."

"My life has changed in a way that now I have a house which will have iron sheets and I have furniture in my house, things I did not have before becoming a recipient of Give Directly."

"Give Directly does well in giving people capital for businesses, so that people from the village can be independent."

"I bought 10 bags of maize, 2 bags of fertilizer and other material like nails, wires, frames for finishing of the house."
