"When I received my transfers, I spent it to buy a dairy cow worth KES 30,000. Having a dairy farming has always been my dream but I had not been able to actualize it due to lack of funds. In addition to this, I spent KES 15,000 to boost my shoes selling business by buying more stock. I decided on this since it was at the verge of collapsing yet it is my main source of income. I used the remaining amount to buy some timber that I am planning to use in building a house for my family."

"My life is different than how it would have had I not received the transfer. This because I no longer buy milk daily like before. Due to this, I have been able to reduce my daily expenditure hence I no longer overwork myself anymore. In addition to this, my children are nowadays happy since they get enough milk for their consumption. Owning a dairy cow had always been my dream and I thank God for leading GiveDirectly to my life to help me fulfill it."

"When I received my transfer, I spent it complete building a room that I am planning to use for business. I had started building this house using my first transfers but had left it incomplete due to insufficient. I settled on this since I was planning to open an hardware shop since in my locality, one has to travel for a longer distance looking for building materials."

"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 25000 to purchase a dairy cow. We settled on this since I was already tired of buying milk daily as it is costly. Due to this, my family would at times be forced to take tea without milk. Also, I spent approximately KES 25000 to build a house for my son. I decided on this so that he would not be sleeping at our neighbors house anymore. Using the remaining amount, I bought food and other household necessities."

"Before receiving the transfer, I had been employed by one of my neighbors to offer taxi business using his motorcycle. Having operated this business for three years, I was well conversant with different routes and I had so many customers. My transfer came in handy as it enabled me to purchase a motorcycle worth 70000 after topping up some. I settled to ran my own motorcycle business since I had seen how profitable it was."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well by giving out financial aid and bringing families together and I do not see anything that they do not do well."

"My life is different than it would have been if I had never received the transfer in that I was able to start livestock rearing a reliable source of livelihood for my family. Back in the days, I was depending on casual labor of charcoal vending which was low-paying and laborious. Furthermore, my kids are learning without any distraction due to lack of school fees. In addition, I was able to purchase clothes for the kids, they are now wearing proper clothes like other children."

"In my opinion, GiveDirectly does well for sending unconstitutional cash transfer to the households living in extreme poverty. In my opinion, I don't see anything that it does not do well."

"I spent my transfer to purchase 2 cows for $300.I have desired to own livestock so that they may assist me whenever I face any financial crisis. With this, I will be able to have steady supply of milk to my consumption. Likewise, my plan is to sale the some extra litres to my neighbours to earn a living. I also purchased iron sheets, building poles, timber this was for the construction of a decent shelter for my family. Previously, I was staying in a grass thatched house which was leaking. The remaining amount assisted me in educating my grandchildren who are still in primary school."

"Upon receiving the first transfer, I dedicated a large portion of the transfer to fencing a grazing field for my livestock. I obtained barbed wired, poles, and droppers which together with transport and labor cost around 40000KES. I had to ensure that it is well fenced since I had been struggling with the goats and sheep I am currently keeping. They had been invading neighbors' farms destroying their crops since it has been hard at my age to chase them around. With the remaining amount, I also added two sheep and some foodstuff for the household."
