"This transfer from GiveDirectly has been spent on purchasing iron sheets, bricks, 3 bags of maize for consumption, beddings and I have saved part of the transfer for daily expenses like relish, salt and other things. My dream has been to build a proper house with iron sheets. My dream is about to be realised because of GiveDirectly."

"Buying milk has been my daily routine and it is always costly. Due to this, my family at times would take tea without milk when am trying to reduce my daily expenditure due to hard economic times. Receiving the transfer has changed my life since I was able to purchase a dairy cow and because of this, I am now optimistic that I will be earning some money through the sell of milk. In addition, my life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer because I have been able to build a decent house and buy enough seats for my family. I am now glad that I have the essentials that I thought I would never have."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I now have capital to use in starting my own business. This had always been my dream and I am now glad that I am soon going to actualize it. Starting this business will give me hope that I will be able to cater for my family's daily needs on time and educate my children without much struggles."

"My life is currently different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I have been able to boost my salon business. Because of this, more people have started coming to my salon than before as they know that they will get more services under one roof. As a result, my income has started increasing and I can now meet most of our needs on time."

"In my own opinion, GiveDirectly does well by uplifting people through their transfers and I do not see anything that they do not do well."

"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 30000 to start a small business in our neighboring town. I settled on this so that I can have a stable source of income. Using the remaining amount, I applied for electricity and piped water and paid for their connections. With this, my children will have enough time to study in the evening since they will not be going to the river to fetch water anymore."

"I practice irrigation farming and we at times do not have piped water for up to a week. In order to curb this, I decided to use KES 15000 from my transfer to purchase a water tank so that I be using it to harvest water. This will be in use when we do not have the piped water hence my crops will always get enough water and I will also have enough for domestic use. Also, I used KES 37000 to pay school fees for my children. We settled as a family to clear this year's fees so that they would not be sent back home. I am now glad that they will not miss any classes because of unpaid fee. Using the remaining amount, I bought some food for my family."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by giving financial aid to the lowly people in the society and I do not see anything that they do not do well."

"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."

"I spend part of the money I received from GiveDirectly to purchase an improved breed of a Dairy cow. I used to buy milk daily and this was so costly for me. I also bought pipes and connected clean tap water. I have children in various schools and I paid their school fees and the rest of the money I bought a solar panels for lighting at home. I am so happy because GiveDirectly has changed our lives."
