In addition, I saved some amount enough to pay labour cost . With the remaining amount I bought food for my family."

"Confirmation of the receipt of the transfer was a great joy to me. The long wait I had after getting enrolled was so big as I had plans in mind that I knew will only come to be on receiving the transfer. I had a little bit of tension before receiving since I have witnessed people missing in the nearby villages and it has been my prayer that mine would come just in time. This triggered my happiness when I realized that I had finally received it and was up to make good use of it."

"For all those years, I have been sheltering in a traditional house which was very small. I never had peace of mind especially during the rainy seasons we had to move from one house to another seeking shelter. As a result of the movements, some of my properties would be stolen. Also in the summer season, my children never had ample space to study or do their school assignments at night. This has really been affecting them academically and even demoralized them at some point. However, since I no asset to lean on at that particular time, I had no option other than to endure the suffering. Therefore after receiving the transfer I definitely knew that I am finally relieved. I managed to construct a very beautiful hose which is spacious and ous and all the worry is now gone. We all now feel secure courtesy of GiveDirectly."

"I was relaxing in my house after completing my morning job of charcoal preparation. It was around 9 o'clock when got message notification in my phone. I felt very happy after recognizing it was the transfer I had expected to receive."

"It was around 9 in the morning when I was heading to the dam together with my friends when my phone started vibrating continuously. Since I was in a hurry, I decided to proceed to the dam. I started being curious when the phone kept on vibrating and so I decided to check who it could be. Wow! I didn't believe what I saw, it was an Mpesa message that I had patiently been waiting for. Due to the joy that I had, I remember leaving my jerrican and rushes back home and shred the good news to the rest of my family members."
