"I spent all the second transfer on my medication. I was feeling unwell and admitted at the hospital. When I received the money I felt so happy because I knew I would be able to settle the hospital bills without selling the land. GiveDirectly came at the right time when I wanted the support."

"I spent part of the money I received from GiveDirectly on purchasing a heifer. I also used some amount on medication for my daughter who Is mentally challenged, I sent some amount to my son who is in school. The rest of the money I started Poultry keeping project and purchased food and clothes for my children."

"My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I purchased a posho mill machine. My neighbors were walking for quite a long distance to find a posho mill. I found this as a business opportunity, I crap it by purchasing the machine. I had always wished to start this project but I didn't had money to do it. I had the building already the capital was the big challenge. I do depend on small scale farming and the harvest that we get is only for consumption, I didn't had an extra income. Currently I run the business myself, I earn a daily profits of 300ksh per day. I have never own any business before nor even make a profit of such amount. My family nowadays never lack food to eat or clothes to wear, I also save some amount to add stock to my business. I have devoted much of my time on this project.I will ensure that this project become the best in our neighborhood. GiveDirectly has changed my living standard and given me a sorce of daily income."

"I spent part of the money I received from GiveDirectly on building an extension rooms for my family member. I also used part of the money to plough farm and planted maize and beans. This month's harvers was so good because I planted on time. I also bought furniture and paid hospital bill for my son who was admitted at the hospital."

"My life is different than how it would have been if I never received the transfers in that I have started a new business of selling maize. I buy maize at a lower price from the suppliers and sell with a little higher price. I had always wished to own a business but I didn't had money to start it. When I received the second transfer I found it wise to invest on this amazing business. Currently I make good profits, I save with the plans of expanding my business. I used also the profits to pay school fees for my children in various schools, they are no longer sent home to collect the school fees like before. I also purchase all the basic needs and my children do not lack what to eat. I am so grateful for the support because GiveDirectly has changed our living standard."

"I spent part of the money I received from GiveDirectly to buy a dairy cow. I used to buy milk daily and this was so costly for me. I also bought two goats and the rest of the money I spent on food and clothes for my children."

"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I was able to boost my spouse's charcoal vending business. The business is now earning more income than before hence we can meet the needs of the family easier. In addition, my children are continuing with their studies well without being interrupted due to school after full paying for the balance of their fees. Furthermore, I will be assured of food security after purchasing oxen which will assist me in the preparation of my farm."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, nails, timber, and threads. This was for the construction of new houses becasue I wanted to relocate to my farm in the same village. Besides, the previous house was in .poor condition and very small. To add to that, I cleared school fees for my children who are in primary schools. In addition, I bought an ox plough at KES 8000. Lastly, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family that would at least take us to three weeks."

"My life is different than how it would have been had not received the transfer. This is because I have been able to reduce my monthly expenditure by KES 600. This has been possible since I no longer buy milk like before as I now have my own dairy cow."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I have been able to build a more spacious house for my family. In addition, I was able to clear school fees for my children on time. Because of this, they have been able to concentrate on their studies and I believe that their results will in turn improve. All this was possible because of the transfers and I thank GiveDirectly for coming to my rescue at a time of need."
